Sunday’s celebrations in Chandigarh took a noble turn as CM Nayab Singh Saini marked his birthday by granting Rs 1.22 crore cheques for fodder to Panchkula’s 14 gaushalas at Mata Mansa Devi. This act advances his sacred mission for gau raksha.
Personally engaging, Saini with wife Suman fed the bovines, performed rituals, and announced Rs 20 lakh for Saketari hill’s temple road repairs, improving connectivity.
Evoking ancient reverence—cows as maternal figures housing divinities—he lauded societal gaushala drives. Government milestones include Rs 270 crore fodder support in 11 years, budget surge from Rs 2 crore (2014-15) to Rs 595 crore today.
Infrastructure booms: gaushalas from 215 to 686, cow population from 1.75 lakh to four lakh. Solar energy covers 330, nearing universality. These efforts yield multifaceted benefits—fodder assurance, renewable power, organic manure for farms—fortifying rural resilience.
Saini’s commitment exemplifies integrated development, merging faith, ecology, and economy to safeguard Haryana’s cow heritage for future generations.
