"Help in Suffering " 

'Help In suffering' is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) founded two decades ago by animal activist Crystal rogers. The organisation is now working with an aim to make "The pink City of India" to be the first rabies free city in India.

"Street dogs are caught, vaccinated, sterilized and returned to the streets in order to create a rabies-free environment and an acceptable street dog population in accordance with World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines," says Diana Mcphee, an Australian doctor working with the organization.
"Stray dogs have a right to life and a place on our streets. They reduce the garbage on the streets. They reduce the rat and vermin population and serve as guard dogs for the community," she adds.

The sterilization campaign is part of the NGO's animal birth control program. It started in 1994 and went into the intensive mode this year. Today, Jaipur's sterilized street dogs can be easily identified by their colored collars. These dogs also have a number tattooed inside their ear.

The NGO also operates an animal shelter in the city. It runs a daily clinic, where animals are treated for a small fee. It has an efficient team of veterinarians, including surgeons and is also equipped with an operation theatre. It also operates a 24-hour service to rescue injured animals. It conducts camps in rural areas to educate villagers on caring for their cattle and other farm animals.
