Bhopal 06 November 2020: Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that the Salaria Cow-Sanctuary in Agar district which is his “dream project”, should be made India’s ideal Gau-Seva Kendra. For this, a plan should be made and implemented by forming an experts’ committee. People engaged in Gau-Seva mission should be connected to the activities in the Cow-Sanctuary. Also, women self-help groups should be linked with the operation of Gaushalas. A modern research centre for gau- products should also be developed in Salaria. Universities should be linked to research.
Chief Minister Chouhan was reviewing the operations of the state’s gaushalas and the arrangements in the state’s first cow sanctuary, Salaria, in Agar district in Mantralaya. Chief Secretary Iqbal Singh Bains, Additional Chief Secretary Manoj Shrivastava, Additional Chief Secretary J.N. Kansotia etc. were present in the meeting.
858 gaushalas complete, good care must be taken of gauvansh
Administrative approval has been granted to the construction of 1012 gaushalas, out of which construction of 858 gaushalas is complete. There are 39,574 gauvansh among the gaushalas that are being operated. Chief Minister Chouhan instructed that it is more important that gauvansh are taken good care of rather than developing new gaushalas. Animal Husbandry Department should ensure action in this regard.
Operations should be conducted through SHGs
Chief Minister Chouhan directed that self-help groups should take care of cows in the Salaria cow-sanctuary. At present, labourers have been employed for work there through the contractor.
Construction of gau-kasht, puja material, vermi compost
Additional Chief Secretary Kansotia told that gau kasht, cow dung cakes for puja, vermi compost manure etc. are being made from cow dung. There are plans to make gau-ark from gau-mutra. The process of opening research centre there is also on. There are currently 3974 gauvansh in the cow-sanctuary, of which 82 cows are milching cows.
Work towards making gaushalas self-sufficient
Chief Minister Chouhan said that work should be done in the direction of making the gaushalas self-sufficient. He told to work on the possibilities of rural tourism, yoga, spirituality camps etc. in Salaria Cow-Sanctuary. Fruit-bearing saplings should also be planted in gaushalas. A Gau-products Research Centre should be opened in Salaria Cow-Sanctuary. Solar-power generation can also be planned.
Devotees should operate, government should support
Chief Minister Chouhan said that public participation is most essential for better operation of gaushalas. Arrangements should be made for the operation of gaushalas in the state in such a way that devotees should run the gaushalas and the government should support it – Window to News
