Cattle with the population of more than 190 million is a predominant species of farm animals in India. They produce 45% of total milk, a valuable draught power for Indian agriculture and rural transport as well as a good source of manure.
The cow is treated as the most pious and sanctified animal in India. This gaushala aims to provide shelter, care, and proper management for unproductive and aged cows while also running a sustainable dairy farming operation.
Animal Husbandry and Dairying activities play a significant role in generating gainful employment in the rural sector, particularly among the landless, small and marginal farmers and women, besides providing cheap and nutritious food to millions of people.
