The
Purpose
To
re-activate the Integrated Cycle of cow for sustainable
Agriculture, Health & Nutrition and Rural
Development
Activities
2003-2004
The
Trust, in the past three years, has carved out
a special place for itself in Gosewa. The people
are no more indifferent to the cause of cows and
are willing to provide the necessary support.
The media is also very responsive and there is
positive coverage of cow related issues. The Central
and State Governments are also focusing on rural
economic development centered around cow. Love4Cow
Trust has also presented an economic model for
the rural poor. The Trust hopes that in the times
to come the integrated cycle of the cow will be
reactivated and will become the theme for the
economic and food security of the rural poor.
Free
Veterinary Care
The Trust is providing free veterinary care to
the sick and stray cows (Govansh) in Delhi, Noida,
Ghaziabad, Faridabad and Gurgaon. The service
is managed through the Helpline Mobile No.9819434399.
The Trust has also been given an ambulance fitted
with hydraulic system for carrying sick and stray
cows by the Jai Prakash Group of Industries. This
is the first of its kind ambulance in Delhi. The
Helpline has been well received in public and
the Trust is getting full public support and cooperation.
The Animal Welfare Board of India also provided
initial grant of Rupees Ten Thousand only for
the year 2003-04.
Pahli
Roti Gau Ki
The cow is the true symbol of cultural nationalism.
It is revered in each house. There has been a
practice of cooking first roti for the cow and
the last for the dog. The Trust launched the scheme
in July 2003 wherein buckets were kept in the
temples in Delhi and the rotis were then collected
by the Trust and given to the Goshalas. The idea
behind this activity was to revive the old culture
and generate love and care for the cow as a part
of our tradition.
Prakriti
2003
The Vishwa Ayurved Parishad this year also organized
in October, 2003 a national conference in association
with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research
(ICAR) on the indigenous agriculture centered
around the cow. The Trust also participated in
the conference and gave its valuable suggestions
including setting up of a separate Ministry/Department
for Godhan Vikas. The Trust also brought out a
folder titled "Godhan Se Akshay Vikas - an
economic model for rural development. It highlighted
how the Godhan was necessary for sustainable agriculture,
energy, health & nutrition and poverty alleviation.
Ek
Shyam Gau Mata Ke Nam
As a part of its public awareness programme, the
Trust organized an evening titled "Ek Sham
Gaun Mata Ke Nam" on 10th December, 2003
in Siri Fort Auditorium. Anuradha Podwal, the
famous devotional singer, kindly accepted our
request and recited bhajans asking the audience
to express love and care for the mother cow. The
occasion was also graced by the benign presence
of Devraha Baba Chhote Maharaj who in his discourse
emphasized virtues of the cow and duty of every
devout Indian to respect the tradition. The programme
was well received by the audience and got good
publicity. The Trust is grateful to Shri Naresh
Juneja, President of the Kahror Pakka Mahasabha
who were our associates for the programme. Sadhna
TV Channel arranged live telecast for its viewers
The Trust also expresses its gratitude and appreciation
for the support provided by the Sadhna TV Channel.
Rajesh Khanna, ex-MP and the superstar of the
yesteryears was also kind enough to grace the
occasion and exhorted the people to accept the
cow in the true Indian tradition.
The
Cow Journal
At present, there is no journal dedicating itself
to the economic and scientific virtues of cow. The
Trust has registered the quarterly economic and
scientific journal titled "The Indian Cow"
with National Institute of Science, Communication
and Information Resources (NISCARE). The journal
will provide a platform to the Panch Gavya professionals,
scientists and researchers to bring out research
activities at one place. This will provide documentation
to the research and development in the field at
one place. The journal is formally to be launched
from the second quarter of the year 2004.
Panch
Gavya Professionals Club
The Trust has also formed an informal body of
Panch Gavya Professionals with the objective to
document the scientific and traditional knowledge
and encourage research and development in the
area. The Panch Gavya Professionals Club is also
receiving good response. Dr. R.S. Chauhan, renowned
scientist in the field has agreed to be the convener
of the club.
Indigenous
Breed Improvement
The cow has been virtually out of economy for
quite some time. The modern day dairy concept
has put the cow out of place. Similarly, the modern
day farming based on machinery and chemical fertilizers/pesticides
has threatened the utility of cow in the agriculture.
The situation has been further aggravated by the
cross bred programme leading to the deterioration
of the indigenous breed. Fortunately, the sliver
lining has not been lost and already there is
a realization to bring back the cow for sustainable
agriculture and house hold support for the health
and nutrition of the nucleus family. The Trust
has, therefore, taken upon itself a very ambitious
programme of improving the milching capacity of
the indigenous breed. The programme will be formally
launched in the second quarter of the year 2004
and all preparations in this regard have been
made.
