Since ancient times, the cow has played an important role in Hinduism in India. People of the Hindu faith regard the cow as a maternal figure. However, there has been a recent decline in people’s interest in caring for cows in changing India. This has resulted in some people abandoning cows on the streets rather than caring for them, endangering their safety and causing inconvenience to the public. To address this issue, the Gujarat government has taken a novel approach, launching the Chief Minister’s Gau Mata Poshan Yojana. This Mukhyamantri Gau Mata Poshan Yojana 2024 will make efforts to ensure the welfare of cows and mother cows.

The Gujarat government included the Chief Minister’s Gau mata Poshan Yojana in its budget for the fiscal year 2022-23. On the auspicious occasion of Navratri, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch this scheme in Gujarat on Friday at the Adhyashakti Dham Ambaji. Under this scheme, financial assistance will be provided to operators of existing and new cow shelters (Goshalas) for the care of cattle and mother cows.

Health services will also be integrated into these cow shelters, ensuring better management of cow nutrition. Furthermore, involving people in the care and work of mother cows in these cow shelters will create job opportunities for the unemployed. The government has allocated an annual budget of ₹500 Crore to implement the Mukhyamantri Gau Mata Poshan Yojana 2024. This initiative will result in the construction of new cow shelters in various locations throughout Gujarat, ensuring the protection of mother cows and preventing them from roaming the streets like strays.

The objective of Mukhyamantri Gau Mata Poshan Yojana 

The primary goal of this scheme is to protect mother cows and cattle in Gujarat, as people’s interest in caring for cows has declined in recent years. As a result, cows are seen wandering the streets like stray animals. Their roaming on the streets results in insufficient access to food and water, compromising their mental and physical health and causing inconvenience to the general public. The Chief Minister’s Gau mata Poshan Yojana will focus on providing financial assistance to cow shelters (Goshalas) and Panjarpols that care for stray mother cows and calves.

This program aims to provide protection and security to stray cows, particularly those that roam the streets, protecting them from accidents, diseases, and physical harm. The primary goal of the Gau Mata Poshan Yojana Gujarat 2024 is to alleviate the suffering of stray cows, ensure their well-being, and reduce the inconvenience caused to the general public by their presence on the streets.
