Desi cows play a significant role in the growth & progress of the Indian economy. However, it’s a fact that despite being a country with a good number of cows, dairy farmers failed to gain a huge advantage in the dairy business. They have the resources but don’t know how to utilize them and make money by selling cow dung-based products. A first-of-its-kind Yojana for dairy farmers and Pashupalaks came into existence in 2020. CM Bhupesh Baghel Ji initiated this scheme for dairy farmers and dairy entrepreneurs of Chhattisgarh.
Under the wonderful scheme, multipurpose cow dung will be purchased from all the dairy farmers and animal herders who take care of cows and are engrossed in Gaupalan. The government is all set to utilize the cow dung and improve the living standards of Gaupalaks and dairy farmers. Cow dung will be used in the preparation of Vermicompost. This Vermicompost aids in the quick germination of seeds, ensures better root systems, adds valuable nutrients to the soil for plants, and generates higher yields.

Keeping the income, health and welfare of dairy farmers in mind, the Chhattisgarh government came up with this unique scheme, known as Chhattisgarh Godhan Nyay Yojana. Through this scheme, the government is engrossed in buying cow dung from cattle rearers. This initiative ensures a significant boost in the income of dairy farmers and animal herders.
The CG government has given wings to two stages under this Yojana. Around 2240 gaushalas will be entailed in the first stage under this scheme. In the second stage, cow dung will be purchased from Gaupalaks. The government can utilize cow dung for numerous purposes. From making good fuel to the preparation of cow dung cake, the government can transform cow dung into useful products. In order to make animal husbandry profitable, the government is readily purchasing cow dung at the rate of Rs.2/kg from livestock owners. Applicants can apply for CG Godhan Nyay Yojana via online medium. It will save their valuable hours as well as money.
It’s a harsh reality in the country that cattle rearers and livestock owners take care of the cow only when she is capable of giving milk. Once the cows stop yielding milk, the cow caretakers leave them to roam and even let them go forever from their gaushalas and farms. Chhattisgarh government noticed this situation and started Chhattisgarh Godhan Nyay Yojana, which is beneficial for farmers as well as animals. Through this scheme, the income of the beneficiaries can be increased, and cows will also receive better treatment and care. The objectives of Godhan Nyay Yojana are showcased below-
Under Godhan Nyay Yojana, beneficiaries of this scheme have received Rs 7.83 Crore between 16 November 2022 and 30 November 2022. This amount has been transferred online. Around 16. 24 lakh quintal Vermicompost has been sold till now.
Several schemes have been initiated by the Central government and state governments in order to promote organic farming. Some of the schemes are related to Gaupalan. The intent is to reduce the cost incurred in farming by increasing the use of cow dung & cow urine. A major boost in the financial condition of a dairy farmer is possible by selling milk. By utilizing cow dung and cow urine, women and self-help groups are making products such as biogas, Vermicompost, cow dung diyas, cow urine shampoo, eco-friendly Lord Ganesha idols, and organic insecticide. They are making a profit by selling these products. The state government is making an online payment in return for these products. Recently, in the 57th installment of Godhan Nyay Yojana, the amount of 7.83 crores has been transferred to the bank accounts of beneficiaries of this scheme. Women self-help groups have received 1,93,00,000 Rs. in their account.
