In a move to protect cattle and ensure their well-being, the Rajasthan government has a scheme that provides crucial support to organizations looking after rescued animals. This initiative, known as the 'Vadh Se Bachaye Govansh Ko Sahayata Yojana', aims to offer financial help for the upkeep of cows and other cattle saved from dangerous situations.
This scheme, initiated by the Directorate of Gopalan on July 2, 2015, is designed to assist institutions that take in cattle rescued from illegal slaughter or smuggling. The Animal Husbandry Department in Rajasthan manages this program, ensuring that these animals receive the care they need.
The 'Vadh Se Bachaye Govansh Ko Sahayata Yojana' is specifically for registered cow shelters (gaushalas), Nandi Shalas, Kanj Houses, as well as municipal bodies, Panchayati Raj institutions, and other approved organizations. These entities must be actively providing care to cattle that have been saved from smuggling or illegal slaughter.
The primary goal of this scheme is to prevent the cruel practice of cattle slaughter and smuggling. By providing financial aid, it encourages and supports the efforts of organizations dedicated to the welfare of these rescued animals, ensuring they are fed and cared for properly during their time in custody.
