Sevalaya’s New Gaushala Inauguration for Dry Cows

For those with a religious bent of mind, it is worshipping a Goddess; for animal lovers, it is taking care of an animal with respect and dignity; for environmentalists, it is providing organic manure to strengthen Mother Earth; for nutritionists, it is reinforcing the virtues of the most healthy drink since time immemorial.

However you see it, taking care of 65 cows in a great way , is serving a noble cause and with the new Gaushala, Sevalaya continues to pursue this noble cause with renewed vigor.

Inaugurating the newly built Vinobhaji Gaushala in 1 acre land at Sevalaya campus , Vittal, IAS (Retd), Former Central Vigilance Commissioner stressed on the need to protect the dry cows, highlighting that one of the basic causes for many social evils plaguing the world today is because of the human tendency to value everything only on monetary terms and forgetting the social value.

The new Gaushala has all the facilities for the cows. Each cow is in a separate enclosure with easy access to feed and water. The urine of the cow flows through a specially constructed channel draining into a pit where it is diluted and used as an organic fertilizer . The Gaushala , has been constructed at a cost of Rs 30 lakhs. Mr.Rajiv Bharwani of Hongkong has sponsored this construction.
