Shristi Mitraa: Help • Grow • Save — A Service Commitment, Not Just an NGO

Sometimes, the biggest transformation does not begin with a big speech, but with a small act—giving water to an injured bird, moving a wounded animal lying on the road into shade, or planting a tree.

Shristi Mitraa is the name of that very thought—a thought that says life is not only for humans. Life belongs to every being that breathes, feels pain, and wants to live. Shristi Mitraa is not “just an NGO”; it is a service commitment—a collective spirit that connects people and stands in favor of life, nature, and compassion.

Our objective is very clear, and our entire philosophy is contained in three words:

Help • Grow • Save

• Help: Helping birds, animals, and people in need
• Grow: Expanding trees, plants, greenery, and life
• Save: Protecting air, soil, water, and natural balance

We believe that to save nature, it is not enough to “say”—it is necessary to “do.” And “doing” becomes possible when the community stands together—this is the soul of Shristi Mitraa.

1) Who are we? (The identity of Shristi Mitraa)

Shristi Mitraa is a service stream born in Rajasthan, gradually reaching people’s hearts. Our identity is not formed by a single event or a one-day campaign; our identity is formed by continuity—by trying to do something better every day.

We do not consider our work a “project”; we consider it our duty. Service to birds, animals, and nature is not an extra task for us—it is part of life. When an injured pigeon is trapped in thread on a rooftop, when a cow lies injured by the roadside, or when birds search for water while suffering from thirst in extreme heat—then every member, supporter, and well-wisher of Shristi Mitraa steps forward as a friend.

The word “Mitraa” is not in our name without reason. A friend is someone who stands by you, stands with you in crisis, and helps without any selfish motive.

2) Our philosophy: Help • Grow • Save

There are many organizations and many institutions in the world. But Shristi Mitraa’s work is not only “service”; along with service, it is also awareness. We provide treatment, but at the same time we also explain why injuries are happening, where the problem begins, and how we can solve it together.

With this very thought, our three pillars were formed—Help, Grow, Save. Let us first understand Help in depth.

HELP: Helping injured birds-animals and people in need

Help is the most sensitive part of our work. Because here we are directly connected to life—between pain, fear, and hope. Help does not mean only “relief”; it also means respect—respect for the life of every being.

2.1 Bird service: When a thread becomes death

Birds are around us all the time—pigeons, sparrows, parrots, bulbuls, kites, eagles, owls—these are all companions of our nature. But in cities and towns, dangers for them are increasing.

Among these dangers, the biggest and most painful is Chinese manjha and sharp kite thread. During festivals and kite-flying seasons, this danger increases many times. A kite may provide a few minutes of joy, but its thread can become a deadly trap for a bird.

Birds injured by thread usually suffer from two types of injuries:

• Cut/Deep Cuts: Deep cuts on wings, neck, or legs, causing excessive bleeding
• Thread Entanglement: Thread getting tangled, blood circulation stopping, and slowly the limb getting damaged

Our team runs against time in such cases, because many times a delay of five minutes becomes the difference between life and death.

Shristi Mitraa’s objective is not only “to save the injured,” but also to reduce “the reason behind getting injured.” Therefore, we also talk in society about awareness, safe kite flying, and responsible use of thread/manjha.

2.2 Bird First Aid: A small contribution from every citizen

Shristi Mitraa’s effort is not only to do rescue; we want society to be ready too. That is why we work on Bird First Aid Awareness—so that ordinary people do not panic and can provide initial help.

A simple Bird First Aid Kit may include these useful items:

• One pair of hand gloves
• A soft small towel (to hold the bird safely)
• Cotton and bandage
• Potassium permanganate (10–20 crystals) / a mild solution
• Povidone iodine (if available)
• A ventilated small box/cardboard carry box (with air holes)

The most important thing: not everyone is a doctor, so more important than attempting “treatment” is “safety” and “reaching an expert on time.”

We also explain Do’s & Don’ts—such as not forcing water into an injured bird, not pulling out thread by pulling feathers, and immediately contacting a trained team/rescue/nearby vet.

2.2.1 UdaanGhar: A safe treatment center for injured birds

UdaanGhar is Shristi Mitraa’s dedicated bird treatment and rehabilitation center. Here injured birds are provided a safe environment, first aid, and rest so that they can fly again.

UdaanGhar is not just a place, but the beginning of a new life—where wings struggling with fear get the sky again.

2.3 Animal service: An injured animal lying on the road is also our responsibility

The second major area of Help is animal service. In many cities of India, cattle, dogs, cats, and other animals often become victims of road accidents, infections, or neglect.

Shristi Mitraa believes that if an animal is injured, do not see it as a “problem,” see it as a living being. Ignoring its pain is against our values.

• Support in rescue
• First aid
• Contacting local networks
• Sensitivity in the community

Our goal is not to “become a hero”; our goal is to build a system—where society becomes responsible for the living beings around it.

2.3.1 Stray cattle safety: Fluorescent belt campaign

At night, stray cattle roaming on roads often become victims of road accidents. Shristi Mitraa is running a fluorescent belt campaign as a solution to this problem.

These belts shine from far away in the dark, so drivers can see the cattle in time, and accidents can be reduced significantly.

A small belt can save a life—of an animal as well as of a human.

2.4 Human service: People in need are also part of Help

For Shristi Mitraa, Help does not mean only birds and animals. When a family is in crisis, an elderly person is helpless, or a child needs help—it is the duty of a sensitive society to step forward.

We believe the scope of service is wide, and every act that makes someone’s life a little better—while also giving them a sense of respect and safety—is Help.

2.5 Blood Help Network: When time itself is life

Many times, a patient stands in a hospital waiting for blood, and outside, relatives stand helpless. At that time, more important than medicine is—the right blood, at the right time.

Understanding this need, Shristi Mitraa is building a Blood Help Network, in which a list of voluntary blood donors is being prepared so that hospitals, blood banks, and patients in need can be connected with each other.

The purpose of this network is:

• To find a donor quickly in an emergency
• Coordination with hospitals and blood banks
• Creating blood donor groups at the local level
• Quick contact through phone/digital means

When every minute carries the value of life, reaching the right person becomes the greatest service.

This is not just a database, but a bridge that connects lives—where a stranger becomes a life-giver for someone.

GROW: Expanding trees-plants, greenery, and life

Grow is the pillar of Shristi Mitraa that shapes the future. Help heals today’s wounds, but Grow secures tomorrow. It is not only about planting trees, but about building a living ecosystem in which animals, birds, farmers, soil, and water—all thrive together.

3.0 Indigenous cow promotion and conservation: A blessing of nature

A2 Milk: A harmony of health and tradition

An extremely important blessing of the indigenous cow is its A2 Milk. Modern research suggests that milk from indigenous breeds contains A2 beta-casein protein, which is considered more suitable for the human body.

In contrast, the milk of many foreign and crossbred cows contains A1 protein, which some studies associate with digestive issues and inflammation.

Indigenous cow A2 milk is:

• Easy to digest
• Suitable for children and the elderly
• Supportive of immunity
• Considered “Ojas-enhancing” in traditional Ayurveda

A2 milk is not only nutrition; it is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle.

In Indian culture, the indigenous cow has not been given the status of mother without reason. It is not just an animal, but an invaluable blessing that nature has given to humans. For thousands of years, the indigenous cow has been a cornerstone of human life, agriculture, health, and the environment.

Today, due to modernity and commercial thinking, indigenous breeds are gradually disappearing. The growing use of foreign and crossbred breeds has not only disturbed ecological balance but has also increased economic and health challenges for livestock keepers.

Shristi Mitraa believes that protecting indigenous cows is not only tradition, but a necessity for the future. Therefore, one of our important objectives is to make livestock keepers aware of the real strengths of indigenous cows and inspire them towards promotion and conservation.

With indigenous cow-based rearing:

• Farmers’ costs decrease
• Dependence on chemical fertilizers reduces
• Soil fertility and water-holding capacity increase
• Rural economy becomes stronger
• Biodiversity and environmental balance improve

Protecting indigenous cows is not only saving an animal, but protecting nature, culture, and future generations.

3.1 🌳Tree plantation is not just a photo session

Often, tree plantation becomes only a one-day celebration—photos are taken, posted on social media, and then the plants are left to fate. Shristi Mitraa wants to change this mindset.

We believe real plantation succeeds when:

• Local and native species are selected
• The plant receives protection and water
• The community takes responsibility
• It is treated as “our own”

When a plant becomes a tree, it does not only give shade—it purifies air, holds soil, saves water, and provides homes to birds.

3.2 Food Forest concept: Greenery + fruits + home for birds

The Food Forest idea is the soul of Shristi Mitraa’s Grow pillar. It is greenery not only to look at, but to give life.

In a Food Forest:

• There are fruit trees
• There are shade trees
• There are medicinal plants
• There is shelter for birds and living beings

This model reduces local temperature, increases soil moisture, and develops a small forest—becoming a blessing for future generations.

3.3 Sparrow House Initiative: The return of sparrows

Sparrows that once chirped in every courtyard are now on the verge of extinction. Mobile towers, concrete buildings, and lack of greenery have taken away their homes.

Shristi Mitraa’s Sparrow House Initiative inspires people to place small safe nests in their homes, schools, and offices.

A small house can become the reason for the return of an entire species.

SAVE: Air • Soil • Water — Protecting life

Save is the pillar of Shristi Mitraa that reminds us we are not the owners of nature, but its guardians. Air, soil, and water—these three are the foundation of life. If they become imbalanced, every living being is affected.

4.1 Save Air: Breathable air

Today, air pollution is no longer only a problem of big cities. Small towns and villages are also affected. Vehicle smoke, burning waste, factory emissions, and cutting trees are making the air poisonous.

Its impact is not only on humans, but also on birds and animals. Their breathing ability, flying strength, and even reproduction cycle are affected.

Save Air means:

• Planting more trees
• Avoiding burning waste and plastic
• Clean energy and responsible behavior

4.2 Save Soil: If soil survives, food survives

Soil is not just land; it is the base of life. When soil fertility decreases, crops, water, and biodiversity are all affected.

For Save Soil, Shristi Mitraa inspires people towards organic and cow-based natural methods—so that the “living nature” of soil remains.

• Using organic manure/cow dung manure
• Staying away from excessive chemicals
• Mulching, compost, and water conservation

4.3 Save Water: Every drop is precious

Water crisis is the biggest challenge of coming years. Unnecessary wastage of water and lack of rainwater harvesting are the main reasons.

Save Water means:

• Rainwater harvesting
• Saving water in homes and farms
• Water conservation through trees and soil

Saving water is saving life.

4.4 Shristi Mitraa Cleanliness Initiative: Protecting Life from Plastic

Shristi Mitraa’s cleanliness initiative is not limited to appearance or show. It is an effort connected to the safety of humans, animals, and nature—all three.

Today, the pouches and wrappers of daily-use items—such as oil packets, milk pouches, grocery bags, shampoo, soap, noodles, snacks, etc.—often get scattered here and there. This spread plastic is becoming a silent threat for animals.

Shristi Mitraa appeals to everyone to adopt a simple and effective solution:

One Bottle — Safety for Many Lives

Keep one empty cold drink bottle in every home. After daily use, put all plastic pouches into the same bottle. Once a week, when the bottle is full, close it properly with a cap and place it at the designated collection point so it can safely move forward.

This small habit will:

• Prevent animals from ingesting scattered plastic
• Control waste spread on roads and in lanes
• Ensure safe disposal of plastic
• Make collection easier for municipal services

Harmful Effects of Plastic

• Plastic ingestion by animals causes intestinal blockage and death
• Reduces soil fertility when mixed with soil
• Spreads toxicity in water sources
• Releases poisonous gases when burned
• Chemical leakage into groundwater
• Fatal for birds and aquatic life

This initiative is not driven by rules, but by compassion. Every bottle filled with plastic protects some life.

Shristi Mitraa humbly requests you— start this habit from today itself. Your small effort can become someone’s life.

Seva on Wheels: Caravan — A moving home, a moving commitment

Caravan is not just a vehicle, but an extension of the soul of Shristi Mitraa. It has complete facilities for cooking, bathing, and sleeping—so that even away from home, it feels like home.

This moving home gives us time, freedom, and reach so that we can go village to village, city to city, and fulfill service, awareness, and friendship with nature.

When the home itself starts moving, service can reach everywhere too.

Future direction: From compassion to balance

Shristi Mitraa dreams of a society where compassion is not weakness, but strength. Where every child grows up connected to nature, and every citizen becomes responsible.

We want future generations to see an India where birds are safe, animals are respected, trees flourish, and air and water are clean.
