The new city is being developed by linking the village development scheme with the Naya Raipur projects, under which preparations are on to make Kotrabhatta the dairy hub of the new State capital.
After a discussion held between the chief executive officer of Naya Raipur Development Authority (NRDA) Amit Kataria and the villagers of Kotrabhatta, approval has been made for developing Gokul Dham at the land near to the village. Kataria met the villagers of Kotrabhatta and Sendh village on Saturday.
After discussion with the villagers, Kataria said that on the 50 acre land adjacent to Kotrabhatta village a Gokul Dham would be developed, in which, along with proper facilities for well-arranged sheds, electricity and water, large part of the land would be reserved for grazing. After developing the Gokul Dham, developed dairies would be made available for about 100 families and in future, with the increasing demands for dairy products in Naya Raipur, the villagers would get a source for their financial development, he added.
