Chhattisgarh Launches Gaudham Yojana for Cattle Management
The Chhattisgarh government is starting a new program called Gaudham Yojana to help with stray cows.
It will create safe places for the cows, stopping them from causing accidents and damaging crops.
People will get paid to look after the cows, and the government will help villagers learn how to make and sell things from cow dung and urine, like fertilizer.
The goal is to improve village life and make the roads safer by taking care of stray cattle.
Chhattisgarh government is launching the Gaudham Yojana to address stray cattle and boost the rural economy.
The scheme aims to provide shelter for stray cattle, reduce road accidents, and prevent crop damage.
Cowherds will receive a monthly honorarium of Rs 10,916, and cattle attendants will get Rs 13,126.
Gaudhams will be established on government land with infrastructure, prioritizing locations near highways.
The initiative includes training for producing and marketing cow dung and urine-based products.
