Ratan Tata: A Messiah for Voiceless Animals - Shraman Dr. Pushpendra

Udaipur - Ratan Tata, the former chairman of the Tata Group and a leading industrialist in India, is renowned not only for his business achievements but also for his immense love and kindness, especially towards dogs. His affection for dogs has set him apart. Ratan Tata has not only raised awareness for stray dogs through his social media posts but has also taken concrete steps for their health and care.  

Shraman Dr. Pushpendra mentioned that Tata's compassion continued until his final days. His last project, symbolizing his love for dogs and other small animals, is the Small Animal Hospital in Mumbai, which opened on July 1, 2024. This hospital, spanning 98,000 square feet, offers world-class facilities for treating pets. It features 24/7 emergency services, life-saving equipment for critically ill and injured animals, and advanced diagnostic capabilities such as CT scans, MRIs, X-rays, and ultrasounds.  

**A ₹165 Crore Project**  
This ₹165 crore initiative was dedicated especially to stray dogs and other small animals. In addition to dermatology, dental, and ophthalmology services, the hospital also includes an in-house pathology lab and separate waiting areas for dogs and cats, ensuring better facilities for pet owners and their furry companions.  

**A True Dog Lover**  
Ratan Tata has frequently showcased his affection for dogs on social media. He once appealed for help for a lost dog he encountered at Sion Hospital in Mumbai. He also urged the public to be cautious of stray dogs seeking shelter during the monsoon to prevent accidents. The establishment of this hospital stands as a testament to Tata's significant contributions to voiceless beings, and his love and care will continue to live on through the Small Animal Hospital.
