Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the cow sheds which are being completed should be filled with cow progeny at a fast pace. A solution should also be found to keep the remaining cattle. Identify such large places in the state where large number of cattle can be kept. Chief Minister Chouhan was addressing the meeting of the Cow Promotion Board at his residence today.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that cows cannot be kept in the open on roads and other public places. That's why build cow shelters fast. He said that cow dung gas plants would be installed in goshalas under the Gobar Dhan Yojana. This will make goshalas self-supporting. Officers should work by making a road map. Chief Minister Chouhan said that adequate funds should be arranged for the cow progeny.
The establishment of cow sanctuaries at various places in the state was also discussed in the meeting. Chief Minister Chouhan said that cooperation of NGOs will be taken for the establishment of cow sanctuary. Go-shalas will also be operated through NGOs. Where donation amount comes in large amount, the amount should be given to cow shelters with the help of such temples.
Chief Minister Chouhan also discussed the award distribution of Acharya Vidyasagar Jeevdaya (Go-Seva) Samman Yojana.
He said that the date and time should be fixed for the prize distribution for the year 2020-21 and 2021-22. Animal Husbandry Minister Prem Singh Patel, Vice President of Animal Promotion Board and concerned officers were present.
