Our Work/Activities



Feeding the Voiceless – Pashu Bandhu Parivar

At Pashu Bandhu Parivar, feeding stray animals is one of our core activities. Our work is mainly focused in and around the jammu University campus  where many stray dogs, cats, and birds depend on the kindness of people for their survival.

Our volunteers regularly provide food and clean water to animals living around the campus. We prepare simple and safe food such as roti, rice, milk, and dog food so that these animals do not remain hungry. Along with feeding, we also try to ensure that animals are treated with care and respect.

This initiative is not only about providing food. It is about building compassion among students and the campus community. When people see animals being cared for, it spreads awareness and encourages others to help as well.

Through this activity, Pashu Bandhu Parivar aims to create a campus environment where humans and animals live together peacefully and with kindness.

If you want to support this mission, you can join our feeding activities, volunteer with us, or support through donations.

“A little food, a little kindness, can save a life.” 🐾



Medical Care for Stray Animals – Pashu Bandhu Parivar

At Pashu Bandhu Parivar, we also focus on providing basic medical care to injured and sick stray animals living in and around the university campus. Many animals suffer from wounds, infections, accidents, or weakness but often do not receive timely treatment.

Our volunteers try to identify animals that need medical help and arrange first aid, basic medicines, and veterinary consultation whenever possible. In cases of serious injury or illness, we try to connect with local veterinarians to ensure proper treatment.

We believe that every animal deserves care and relief from pain. Through this initiative, our goal is to reduce the suffering of stray animals and help them recover so they can live safely in their environment.

This activity also spreads awareness among students and the campus community about the importance of kindness, responsibility, and animal welfare.

If you would like to support this effort, you can volunteer with us, help in rescue situations, or contribute towards medical expenses.

“Helping an injured animal is an act of compassion and humanity.” 🐾



Sterilisation and Vaccination – Pashu Bandhu Parivar

At Pashu Bandhu Parivar, we support sterilisation and vaccination programs for stray animals living in and around the university campus. These efforts are essential for maintaining the health of animals and creating a balanced and safe environment for both animals and people.

Sterilisation helps control the stray animal population in a humane way. It prevents unwanted births and reduces problems such as animal fights, aggression, and suffering caused by overpopulation. Our team works to identify animals that need sterilisation and coordinates with veterinary services and animal welfare organizations for the procedure.

Vaccination is equally important. Through vaccination drives, especially anti-rabies vaccination, we help protect animals from dangerous diseases and also reduce health risks for the community. Vaccinated animals are healthier and safer for everyone around them.

By promoting sterilisation and vaccination, Pashu Bandhu Parivar aims to create a responsible and compassionate approach toward stray animal management on campus.

Support from the community is important for this initiative. People can inform us about animals needing sterilisation or vaccination, volunteer with our team, or contribute towards medical and treatment costs.

“Healthy animals create a safer and more compassionate community.” 🐾
