Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday stressed the need for developing a self-sustainable model for running ‘gaushala’ and said that gaushalas should be constructed in public-private participation (PPP) mode.
While reviewing a presentation regarding large cow shelters (vrihad gaushala), the chief minister said that these cow shelters should be linked to natural farming, cow dung paint, CNG and CBG (compressed biogas).
“This will make the gaushalas financially strong and they will be able to bear the expenses for the maintenance and rearing of the cows,” he remarked.
Yogi said that for the operation of ‘gaushala’, memorandums of understanding (MoUs) must be signed with the interested non-governmental organisations (NGOs) while making the necessary arrangements.
Along with the Minister for livestock, officials from the departments of Finance, Energy, Panchayati Raj and Rural Development were present.
