Uttar Pradesh proposes increasing cattle limit to 10 under Mukhyamantri Nirashrit Govansh Sahbhagita Yojana

Uttar Pradesh government plans to raise the maximum limit of cattle given to farmers under Mukhyamantri Nirashrit Govansh Sahbhagita Yojana from four to 10. This proposal aims to increase public participation in cattle protection.

Proposed initiatives

State officials are working on a 25-point agenda to make gaushalas self-reliant by linking them with natural farming, biogas production, and organic fertilizers. Main measures include:

• Building permanent cattle sheds, urine tanks, and troughs at farmer premises under VBG-Ramji Yojana.
• Setting up biogas plants at large cattle protection centers.
• Producing and selling cow-based products like Jeevamrit, Ghan Jeevamrit, and Beejamrit.
• Starting a 24x7 ambulance service for injured cattle.
• Building proper disposal sites for cattle that die in gaushalas.
