Haryana Finance Minister Captain Abhimanyu on Thursday urged the Panchkula Gaushala Trust of Shree Mata Mansa Devi Gaudham to set up a biogas plant so that free electricity could be produced for the Gaushala.
As there are 1,200 cows in Gaushala, sufficient electricity could be generated through cow dung, said Capt. Abhimanyu while addressing at the function organised by Panchkula Gaushala Trust on the occasion of Gopashtami near here.
Capt. Abhimanyu said that the State Government has implemented various schemes to promote cow rearing in the State. Under these schemes, grant up to 50 per cent was given for setting up mini dairy with minimum five cows and incentive ranging from `10,000 to `20,000 was being given for rearing indigenous cows.
He said that the State Government has formulated strict rules for Gau Sanrakshan and Samvardhan and is making efforts that no cow is found straying on roads.
The Finance Minister also took the round of Gaushala and appreciated the efforts of Trust.
During the function, the Finance Minister also released the calendar of Gaushala. He said that he himself is a voluntary Gau Sewak. He appealed to voluntary organisations to come forward to serve the society.
The Minister added that the State Government would also provide every possible help to such organisations.
