India has over the centuries been riddled with famines, droughts and flooding. The ultimate sufferer of these calamities has always been the poor farmer. The food we eat is grown on the sweat of farmer and so it’s our duty to help him when he needs us the most. Farming in India has been primarily dependent on domesticated animals. For people like us who have controlled and continuous access to water it becomes our duty to at least grow fodder for them in the space that is available with us. It is possible to have a yield of sugarcane, wheat, rice and maize between 3 to 4 times a year.

The grass so collected is sent to farmers in the drought stricken areas to feed their cattle. Till date truckloads of grass has been distributed through our Pune centre in Purander taluka. With this novel and noble viewpoint Bapu made this yojana as one of the facets of the 13 point programme.

Under this the Aniruddha Upasna Trust runs many animal shelters in the rural areas where animals in distress are brought to be looked after during the calamitous times. The Trust looks after these animals for absolutely noble cause without charging a single penny from already stressed farmers. All the daily basic needs of these animals viz., food, water, medicine, etc are totally taken care at these camps.
