Surkhand ka Kheda (SKK) Shelter

DHARMA Foundation constructed its 1st large space shelter at Surkhand Kheda, 55 kms west of Udaipur. The 3-acres land upcoming shelter will provide a home for all kinds of animals – both large and small.

Surkhand Kheda village is located 15 kms away from the Samadhi of one of India’s greatest heroes – Maharana Pratap.

SKK is a 3 acre piece of land which currently houses 3 shelter wings for nearly 50 dog-angels.

The SKK shelter is managed by Ramzan R Kabani, a former member of UN Peace Keeping Force, who stays at the SKK shelter full time and looks after his 'Totos" (as he fondly calls the dog-angels.)

Activities - Planned - the "Nandi" Bull shelter

SKK aims to provide long term shelter for one of India’s most neglected animals – the Indian Bull. While the Holy Cow is revered in this country, ‘Nandi’ the bull is totally neglected.

Indian bulls can be found almost in every village, town and city in India. Since they have no commercial use, these stray bulls can be commonly found around municipal waste dumpyards, foraging for whatever food they can get.

Apart from rotten and decaying food, bulls end up consuming paper, cardboard, plastic and sometimes glass too. These bulls are usually seen in varying states of injury, illness and deprivation with almost no care.

Activities planned - others

DHARMA Foundation is committed to start various other activities:

1. Veterinary care services - including a full-time Veterinary Doctor and Compounder

2. A veterinary pathology lab including X-ray facilities

3. Animal Birth Control activities in collaboration with local government bodies

4. 'Birds Hospital' services

5. Animal litigation activities

6. Animal welfare awareness programmes
