GODHAAM OR COW SANCTUARIES :Cow- Project for Rural Self Sustainable Economic Development
Cow shelter is a symbol of compassion and non-violence. GODHAAM OR COW SANCTUARIES is a larger version of goshaaala and is the only solution to promote cow breeding and should be designed with the help of experts. Godhaam functions as a joint unit. The first step towards this goal is creating a grazing ground. This will make us self-dependent in our requirement of green fodder. The next step is to ensure that the water resources of the village remains in the village and do not drain away. For this, it is necessary to build wells, check-dams, household tanks, farm ponds and plant as many trees as possible on fallow land. Depending on the need of the village and quantity of crops grown, co-operative godowns should be constructed and managed by the village. In the third stage, following the pattern of the cow shelter in Luni (Kutch), develop centres for production of cow urine arrack, medicines, panchgavya, and produce items of everyday use without causing pollution, run skill development centres, research of development of cow-based agriculture. If this kind of development is attempted, there is no doubt that one day these godhaams will become the true fount of a superior culture and non-violent cow revolution.
