We observed that the region had a scattering of stray cows, which found it difficult to survive on their own in the arid conditions of Rajasthan. We hence supported a Goshala at Gurha village where these cows are sheltered and put to use for the benefit of locals.
VSLP is playing an active role in attending to the sick Cows. It is assisting nearby Gaushalas by providing help in meeting daily needs of medicines required for tending to the sick cows. VSLP is providing support to Nandanvan Gaushala at Ghadiyala phata, Kolayat Tehsil, which tends to the medical care for sick, terminally ill abandoned cows. Almost 800 Abandoned cows are accommodated in this Gaushala.
At the facility run by Nandanvan Gaushala, a group of 80 people take care of the cow shelter. Gaushala takes care of cleanliness, fodder and health of these cows on regular basis. The injured and/ or sick cows, that require special treatment and care, are kept in a separate sheds. Cows are regularly checked for any possible signs of injury or illness and are vaccinated for maintaining a good herd health program.
VSLP has committed to meet the daily medicines requirement of the Nandanvan Gaushala.
