A Goshala or Gaushala is a protective shelter for cows in India. According to Merriam Webster, Gaushala is a shelter provided to the homeless or unwanted cattle that often also serve as a center for breed improvement and study of bovine nutrition and welfare. The term Goshala is composed of two Sanskrit terms, “go” or “cow” and “shala” or shelter, i.e., “Goshala,” which is also a Sanskrit term. Gaushala is a place where cattle are treated with respect and dignity. In ancient India, uneconomic, old, deserted cattle were given in Gaushalas.http://pashudhanharyana.gov.in/programmes-and-activities/animal-welfare/gaushalas
As per the solution given by the Government authorities, to cater to the need of an increasing number of stray cattle, the only viable option is to send them to the Gaushalas. This can be induced from the initiative “Rashtriya Gokul Mission,” which the Central Government has undertaken to support Gaushalas and raise their numbers so that the stray cattle can be directed towards Gaushalas (Cow Shelters).
