In 1964, Blue Cross Of India conceived and implemented the first ever population
management anti-rabies programme for street dogs. It was called ABC (Animal Birth Control) AR (Anti Rabies).
By
repeatedly proving that ABC-AR was the most humane way to manage street animal population and prevent rabies, the Blue Cross Of India was instrumental in stopping street animal killing in 1996
in the city of Madras. Other cities soon followed.
ABC-AR was endorsed by the World Health
Organisation (WHO) in 1990, made a national policy in India in 1997 and finally a legal requirement in India in
2001.
Blue Cross Of India was the first AWO in India to receive the
Guidestar Platinum Rating
in 2013-14 and continues to hold this rating.
With Transparency & Public Accountability being the corner-stones for the platinum level, donors get the assurance that their endowments, grants and contributions in cash and kind are used most diligently and frugally in the direct pursuit of our mission.
Fewer than 5% of the Guidestar rated companies have the much coveted Platinum Rating - highlighting the rigour of the annual certification process
.
