Dr Pankaj Kumar quoted- This truck has enriched the idea of mobile veterinary clinic which is need of remote and rural areas in India. Asepsis can be maintained at all places not only OT of static veterinary clinics! Dr Anand Kumar Pandey quoted- It was very exciting to see OT and lecture space in a single truck with all requisite diagnostic tools. This concept is good for all animals, community and vet as well. 4

They brought an Adult for neutering and a puppy for vaccination. Father appreciated our work and program in Goa, when asked how they came to know about this program, Tejas said An education program of Mission Rabies was conducted in our School and we also saw banners and teams doing work in our area Mr Dabolkar said we are also thankful to Goa government for being part of this project. Mr. Ankush kerkar from Curca Panchayat learned about our neutering program by seeing a huge TRUCK. Mr Kerkar lives in the same village where our Truck is parked. His curiosity to know the Giant Truck educated him about the program. Mr Kerkar said your organisation is providing best services to us at our doorstep. It is so much pain to take our dogs for neutering to Panjim. The dog population control program is very much needed at Panchayat level. 7
