Parivartan \u2013 The Change<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expanding Welfare and Livelihood Opportunities<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The year 2018\u201319 was marked by expansion in both animal welfare and rural livelihood initiatives.
Under 4Dogsake India, efforts in sterilization, vaccination, and adoption of stray dogs grew significantly.
Simultaneously, livelihood programs in Khedli Jeeta village advanced through the introduction of sanitary pad production,
mat knitting units, and awareness workshops for children. Together, these initiatives reflected Parivartan\u2019s vision of
empowering communities, improving health, and promoting compassion for all living beings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around 100 community dogs were sterilized and vaccinated against rabies near the Parivartan head office.
Through partnerships with Max Vets and SPCA (Maneka Gandhi\u2019s initiative), many more stray dogs received medical attention.
Adoption drives were organized, giving abandoned and rescued dogs a second chance at life. One memorable adoption story was
of a paralysed stray who found a loving home through our volunteer network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To address menstrual hygiene and women\u2019s livelihood, machinery for a pad-making unit was sourced from Coimbatore.
Though the delivery faced an eight-month delay, Parivartan ensured momentum by upgrading an existing smaller unit.
Women began producing sanitary pads which were successfully introduced in local markets, breaking taboos and offering
an affordable hygiene solution. Several women expressed pride in creating products that directly improved community health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mat knitting unit gained traction, creating steady employment opportunities. Women working in this unit not only
earned additional household income but also gained recognition within their families for their contributions. The colorful
mats became a symbol of creativity, skill, and empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event saw enthusiastic participation from hundreds of children. Activities included drawing, debates, and role plays,
all designed to nurture creativity and confidence. ADC Ms. Anju Choudhry, who graced the occasion, praised Parivartan\u2019s
efforts in shaping young minds and providing meaningful learning opportunities outside classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
