Prasenjit Dutta

Founder Member, Former Secretary, Honorary Member, Consultant, Facilitator

Retired Civil Engineering Manager by profession, with 35 yrs working experience in the country and abroad got bitten by the dog bug when in 2011 he happened to rescue a dying puppy and named him Bhulo Dutt, the Proudest Indian Alive and created for him the first ever Indian Dog’s Page on FB.

He shot into public prominence in 2015 all by chance when he got inspired to act against cruelty to animals in the case of stray dogs being starved within a fenced area at Presidency University. Thereafter he became the founding force of Pashupati Animal Society-PAWS in 2016. That added strength to his self earned position as an animal rights activist and mediator in dog/ cat related man-animal conflicts within human society. Presently in his retired life he’s an honorary member/ advisor to PAWS and the owner of RKD Pet Shop at Barasat, www.rkdpetshop.online from where he sells everything and every service required by pet owners or stray animal carers at very affordable prices in order to make pet care services affordable for all layers of society.
