Narvekar wrote an article on how India is using animal therapy. India also has a history with animals even before the therapy was discovered.  "The records of the animal Assisted therapy program in India dates back to 1996." said Narvekar.  Animal Assisted therapy is witnessing a Paradigm shift while India is still regarded as being in the nascent stage even though it has been practiced for the last 25 years. In the east their nascent phase in utilizing animal assisted therapy and a more realistic presentation of their status should motivate them towards effective initiatives to promote the field. The contemporary issue in the implementation of animal assisted therapy such as cultural therapy warrants immediate attention.
