AASRA was founded in 2019 by Gowri Vandana, a passionate short story writer and dedicated animal activist, with a vision to create a team of compassionate philanthropists committed to making a difference. 

Agglomeration aims to combine and strengthen individual knowledge, skills, and experiences. This unified effort is intended to focus and efficiently channel resources toward achieving meaningful and purpose-driven goals. To begin with, an experimental project was to study the impact of urbanization on stray animals.

Our launch took an unexpected turn when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. The streets were emptied, and food sources for stray animals vanished as restaurants and food courts closed down. Survival became a daily struggle for countless animals. Recognizing the urgency, we launched an emergency feeding program during the lockdown, ensuring that over 2,500 animals received food every day.
