Mission Statement
Providing relief to distressed street animals. Founded by Captain V. Sundaram, Mrs. Usha Sundaram and Dr. S. Chinny Krishna in 1959, The Blue Cross of India was registered as a Society under the Societies Registration Act in 1964 with the mission of alleviating the suffering of animals. It has grown from small beginnings to become one of India's largest animal welfare organizations, running active animal welfare, animal rights and humane education programmes. To ensure that all monies received by the Society are used primarily for animal welfare activities, the administration and non-medical activities of the Blue Cross of India are almost entirely looked after by volunteer-members who donate their time and expertise on a purely honorary basis.The work of the Blue Cross has received national and international recognition. Its Office Bearers have served on many State and Central Government Committees over the last fifty years. The Blue Cross of India was also the first organisation to campaign for and introduce computer-aided dissection programs.
