![]() TACO is also involved with community awareness & community sensitization on animal rights and cruelty against animals with school children and community. To transform the ecosystem of animal welfare through a cooperative and multidisciplinary approach, TACO partnered with YODA (Youth Organization in Defence of Animals) as its implementing agency to build a sustainable and scalable animal welfare ecosystem by developing a holistic welfare programme to address the ever-growing animal health and well-being challenges. What does The Animal Care Organization (TACO) do? The Animal Care Organization (TACO) caters to the needs of stray and domesticated animals with its six pillars, namely, Shelter (to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome sick or injured animals), Hospital (to create state-of-the-art hospitals for animals in need of care), Academy (to educate and train the veterinarians, paraprofessionals, community and animal welfare NGOs), Wildlife (to focus on conservation & welfare), Disaster Relief (rescuing animals in disaster hit areas) and Sectoral Engagement (supporting local NGOs, animal welfare champions). Following are excerpts from the conversation. In an exclusive interaction with The CSR Journal, Priya Agarwal Hebbar, Non- Executive Director, Vedanta Limited and Anchor, The Animal Care Organization talks about their services for animals and how a change in people’s mindset can stop cruelty towards strays. The project delivers best-in-class facilities for animals in need of care, support, and shelter. Founded by Priya Agarwal Hebbar, TACO aims to set up a sustainable and scalable ecosystem for the well-being of animals, in collaboration with global and national academic institutions and knowledge partners. The project offers top-notch infrastructure, veterinary care, training centres, and animal shelters to help heal and safeguard animals. With the aim of “a compassionate India where every animal lives with dignity and respect”, the Foundation launched, ‘The Animal Care Organization’ (TACO), in April, 2022. Anil Agarwal Foundation (AAF) is the umbrella entity of Vedanta Limited’s initiatives to give back to the community. But just like cruel people, kind humans also exist, who make the world a better place to live for our four legged friends. The plight of stray animals on our streets and instances of human cruelty towards them is known to all.
