Livestock and Social Welfare Development Society came into being with a group of individuals and organizations coming together, committed to make meaningful social change. Ms. Gargi Upadhyay, the President of Livestock and Social Welfare Development Society initiated her work with street children at Aligarh city of Uttar Pradesh. However, she was able to perceive the larger picture and envisioned an organization who would work for the all round development of the disadvantaged society. Doing away with project mode and limited approach, she and the team backed by committed board members developed an integrated approach. Livestock and Social Welfare Development Society was registered in year 2009 with the distinct goal to work towards mainstreaming children and women in need of care and protection so that they can lead a life with dignity with no stigma attached.
Livestock and Social Welfare Development Society has a strong belief that community participation would bring the desirable change in our society. It is one of the objectives of the organization, to create consciousness among the people about the violation of rights of children & women. This consciousness leads to easy assimilation of children and women back into the mainstream society.
