Shelter & Care for 58 cows in INDIA

We are very delighted to report the successful progress of the ongoing project by ISKCON Prayagraj to provide proper shelter and hygienic care to cows at our Goshala.

Cows are an integral part of human society and Vedic culture teaches us to respect cows as our mothers and we are trying to incorporate this principle by giving our best care to our cows.

Due to lack of funds, the cows at our goshala were living in congested space, damaged walls, blocked drainage, and lack of employees to take care of them.

We are very thankful to all of you, because of all of your support, we have purchased a total of 50,000 KG of good quality fodder for our cows. We have also repaired the leaking cowshed. Walls have also been repaired. A good ventilation system has been arranged for the cows to have a healthy environment. Old fans were repaired and new fans provided for the cows to overcome the heat.
Under this project, we also prepared a land suitable for our cows to rest and play during the day and we witness very happy playing of small calves among each other and with their mother, which was difficult earlier due to lack of properly prepared ground.
3 employees have been hired and engaged in serving the cows and taking care of their food, cleanliness, and hygiene.

We are very thankful to the GlobalGiving team, our generous donors, and our volunteers for their support in this noble cause to serve our mother cows.

Thanks to all our donors and supporters. Our dear cows here at ISKCON Prayagraj are able to get better services. I am sure all will be joyful to know that we've got 6 new calves in the past 2 months.

This year we at Prayagraj saw a an unusually hot summers. The dry heat makes the tin roof cow shed extremely hot and becomes intorelable to the cows and calves. With the contributions we've arranged a Big Size Air Cooler to give some relief to the cows. 

We've also arranged for a better and healthier cow feed for all our cows. We're buying stocks on a monthly basis based on availability of funds and are hopeful to be able to continue this a long time with all of your kind support. 

Also, now we've hired one new employee to maintain daily cleaning and care of the cows. 

Our next objective will be to make a big size Cow Feed store to enable us purchase and stock large quantities of cow feed when it is available at cheap rates in the market and that way save some more funds for investing in the new infrastructure. 

We're extremely grateful to all our generous donors and at the same time are hopeful to get more support so that we can go ahead with the new planned cow shed once the rains stop next month.
