In 1990, Krishna Vadi and Vasanthi Vadi, with a few likeminded people, founded ‘Abhaya’, the first animal welfare organization of Hyderabad, when the concept was new to the city. It was started with the belief that somewhere deep down, Indians were a stand for love and compassion towards all living beings, and that cruelty and cynicism about other forms of life is unacceptable to us as a society.

In 1992, they joined hands with Amala Akkineni to become the founding members of Blue Cross of Hyderabad, and established SPCA, Hyderabad in 1994.

They strongly felt that apart from animal welfare, animal rights protection, which at the time was a relatively unexplored field, required immediate attention.

With this objective, in 2000, Krishna Vadi, Vasanthi Vadi, Dr. Lakshmi Ramana, Dr. Syed Quadri and others, started the Hyderabad chapter of Maneka Gandhi’s People for Animals. PFA mainly focuses on the implementation of animal rights and laws.

From 1990 to the present, PFA Hyderabad’s founding members have been incessantly involved in animal welfare, animal rights, and cruelty prevention. They have taken massive strides towards a more humane Hyderabad.
