In The Harsh Winters Of Himachal, Help Dipala Care For Hundreds Of Injured And Abandoned Animals

Project

As the biting cold sweeps through the hills of Himachal Pradesh, 66-year-old Dipala Chauhan continues to fight for hundreds of voiceless beings who depend on her love and care to survive.

For over 31 years, Dipala has dedicated her life to protecting animals who have been left behind, the injured, the abandoned, and the forgotten.

Her shelter, Heaven’s Corner, sits in the quiet village of Pujarli, 110 km from Shimla, and has become a home to more than 200 animals.

Dipala’s day is long and relentless. She wakes early to feed the cows, dogs, and mules in her care, tends to the sick and injured, and arranges fodder and medicines. In these freezing months, her struggle doubles as roads are blocked, supplies run low, and keeping the animals warm becomes a daily challenge. Yet she never gives up.

“These are my children,” says Dipala softly. “I may not have much, but I can’t watch them suffer in the cold. They’ve already been through so much. They deserve warmth, safety, and love.”

Over the years, Dipala has rescued more than 3,500 animals, from those left injured on the roadside to newborn calves and puppies abandoned in the cold. Even at her age, she works day and night, often carrying food and water herself, ensuring that every animal at Heaven’s Corner feels cared for.

This winter, Dipala needs help to buy warm bedding, medicines, and fodder for her animals. She also hopes to strengthen the shelters to protect them from freezing winds.

Your support can help her continue her mission of compassion and give these voiceless souls a home filled with warmth and kindness.

Support Dipala Chauhan this winter. Help her protect the injured and abandoned animals of Himachal from the cold.

FAQs

What is Donatekart ?

Donatekart is India's one of a kind crowdfunding platform that allows donors to directly donate towards products that are required by the NGO. In the last 5 years, we have partnered with 10,000+ NGOs all over India to raise 400+ crores worth of products. More than 10 lakh unique donors have used our platform to donate to charities of their choice. As a donor, you are guaranteed 100% transparency - after you donate towards the products, you will receive an update from the campaigner.

How to claim Tax-Exemption for my contributions on Donatekart?

After you complete your donation successfully, you will find the 'GET 80G' button on the payment success page. Please fill in your PAN number, complete address, and name as per PAN and submit. Your 80G certificate will be generated and sent via email within 24 hours.

Alternatively, you can get your 80G receipt in a few simple steps:

Log in to your account using the same email ID you used for the donation
Go to ‘My Donations’
Choose the financial year for which you'd like the donation certificate
Click on ‘Download 80G Certificate’
Fill out the Form (if required)
Submit the form and 80G will get downloaded instantly

Instead of receiving separate 80G certificates for each donation, you'll receive a consolidated 80G certificate via email covering all your donations made through our platform in the financial year. Further, The corresponding 10BE form that proves your eligibility for the tax deduction will also be consolidated. This way, you won't have to worry about multiple downloads and can save time.

How To Avail 10BE?

To qualify for tax exemption on your donations, you need to obtain a 10BE. This can be done by filing your 80G claims for donations made during the Financial Year (FY). You can download your 10BE from the‘My Profile’ section by 31st May of the next FY and also receive it via email.

For example: if you made donations between April 2025 and March 2026 (FY 2025-26), you will get your 10BE by 31st May 2026, provided you need to claim the 80G for these donations.

Please note that you cannot claim 80G for donations made between April 2024 and March 2025 (FY 2024-25) anymore as the window for claiming it has closed. However, you can still get the 10BEs for that year if you made 80G claims on or before 31st July 2025.
