Growing public and private demand for a range of animal welfare services, sensitization of people in general for compassion to animals, likely continuance of public funding support to NGOs, financial reforms, and innovative options for fundraising, including recent positive policy changes to augment participation of private sector in animal welfare activities under corporate social responsibility framework, etc. indicate immense scope for NGOs to undertake activities in the field of Animal welfare.

India’s Northeastern region is known for its bio-diversity, indigenous communities, cultural practices, and mostly non-vegetarian (including bush-meat related) food habits. This indicates the scope and extent of human-animal interaction. Growing urbanization, scarcity of natural resources, destruction of animal habitats, increased vehicular traffic, etc., has resulted in more human-animal conflict, animal cruelty, accidental injury, etc. Infrastructure for sound Animal welfare support is essential to ensure sustainable development and conservation. Animal Welfare in the region also assumes importance in bringing in compassion in the society as the region regularly suffers from political conflicts and the growth of extremism.
