He said that on the auspicious occasion of Gopashtami today, a feeling has come from within that a policy regarding gau-seva should be made in Madhya Pradesh.
Chouhan said that today a consolidated policy for gau-seva has been started in Madhya Pradesh. Instead of gaushalas being run by the government alone, it would be better to connect various voluntary organizations who have faith, dedication and reverence in this work to it. After the discussion Chouhan said that soon a virtual meeting will be organized with all institutions in this connection through video conferencing, so that suggestions from everyone on a massive scale. Based on this, a new cow policy will be formulated in Madhya Pradesh.
The Chief Minister said that pesticides made from gau-mutra can free us from poisonous chemicals, whereas gaukasht and other products are more in vogue today. He informed about the decisions taken in the gau-cabinet meeting held in the morning today to the sant samaj. Chief Minister Chouhan said that we have a proposal to keep voluntary organizations in the forefront for the operation of gaushalas and to obtain minimum amount in the form of gau-grass for better resources in these gaushalas. He said that we will not depend on gau-grass alone. Assistance of Panch Parmeshwar and schemes of other related departments will also be taken for the operation and construction of new gaushalas.
