Urban bodies will sign MoUs with nearby progressive gaushalas for conservation of bovine. Setting up of Gobar gas (biogas) and organic manure plants near the gaushalas will be encouraged. Arrangements will be made to accommodate the city's stray cattle also in the gaushalas for which grant will be given by the government. This was stated by Urban Development and Housing Minister Jaivardhan Singh while inspecting a gaushala and organic manure plant at Doob Berkhedi near Sukhi Sevaniya.
The Minister said that self-help groups will be constituted through the National Urban Livelihood Mission and encouraged to operate the gaushalas. He said that granting subsidy in the electricity bill for organic manure and Gobar gas plant will also be considered. Singh apprised himself with the techniques of making manure, slurry and gas in Dayoday Energy Organic Manure Plant. Jaivardhan Singh said that the local administration would also help in the sale of gaushala products including organic fertilizer, gaunile and gaukashtha. The gaushalas will be provided assistance in government schemes for shed construction, hay godowns etc.
