Our Founder
The woman behind 27 years of selfless service to animals.
In 1997, Mrs. Suman Bose saw an injured cow abandoned on the roadside near Udaipur — and instead of walking past, she stopped. That single act of compassion became the seed of what is today Pashupati Kalyan Parishad.
"Every animal that enters our shelter has a name, a history, and a right to live with dignity. We are simply here to honour that right."
With no institutional backing and no guarantee of funding, she built PKP from the ground up — one rescued animal at a time. Over the decades, her shelter grew from a handful of cows to a recognised sanctuary for 250+ animals, earning certification from the Animal Welfare Board of India and the Government of India's 80G tax-exemption status.
Her vision has always been simple: no animal in need should be turned away. That promise holds true to this day.
