Gift a home to the needy cows! Gaushala needs you!

There are around 5 million stray cows living in India. At the one hand, cows are sacred for us Hindus, at the other hand they block traffic and cause thousands of road accidents every month. But no one seems to know what to do about them. But don't worry, they think "setting up new gaushala" which is the best cure. Unfortunately they cannot work for the whole country right now, but with a little courage, they can surely do it locally. They are almost ready to start a Gaushala (initial capacity 70 cows in phase one) at outskirts Mumbai, Kolad which is about 135 Kms away from Mumbai. They have already procured 4 acres of land for this purpose, the total land is approx. 17 acres.

To move the non-profit project forward, they need your generous support, so they decided to start a fundraiser here. They believe that after a year of successful operation, the Gaushala will become self-sustainable. The fund you raise here will be used in fencing the land, roof shading, feeding and rearing, medical requirements, Solar lights, and maintenance of the Gaushala premises. They will be pleased to post here the updates about every single step we move forward.

As mentioned in Hindu scriptures, there are numerous humanitarian benefits of cow keeping. But based on their understanding, this project is profitable in following ways:

SAFE AND SECURE ROADWAYS: stray cows thrived in the recent years, and has become one of the main cause of traffic jams, accidents and subsequent death. Their main focus is to channel these cows to Gaushala to eliminate this big problem these days. It will protect mother cows being blamed and scolded by non-believers. On the other hand, it will protect them from being slaughtered and traded. The initiative will also protect the Hindu religious sentiment. Come together and support us to do this good work.

They not only focus on cities, but also the remote rural areas where stray cattle causes big harm on agriculture yield and have became a major threat for Farmers.

EMLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES: The project will open up doors of employment to hundreds of locals and veterinarians.

ORGANIC FARMING: It will spark a new awareness in the area about organic farming. Cow dung they will use to make traditional fertilizer for Organic farming. Selling the fertilizer will support goshala's further advancement.

MEDICINAL BENEFITS: Cow urine collection for medicinal and cosmetic purpose. Selling this out will become the other source of Gaushala income.

MILK PRODUCTION: Although milk production is their subsidiary goal, if they produce enough, it will add more to make the Gaushala self-sustaining.

RELIGIOUS BENEFITS: As a Hindu it's our Dharma to keep, feed and protect cows.

All of you are requested to come forward to fund them so that they can continue working for stray cow welfare.

Looking forward to see your generous support.

How you can help:

The goal of this campaign is to generate for the infrastructure for the Gaushala, which can provide home to about 70 cows in Phase one. The contribution from you will play a big role towards saving Gau Mata from the cruel clutches of illegal meat mafia besides giving them a home where they are well fed and taken care. They believe this is our moral obligation too towards cows which gives milk to ourselves & our future generations and hence, given respect of ‘mother’ in our tradition.

The plan is to build shed covering 60 * 30 = 1800 square feet of land.
