Last year 1000s of Indian farmers adopted organic farming and manufacturing. Marketing of panchgavya (cow-based) products also began across the country. Over 400 new goushalas (cow shelters) were set up/existing goushalas strengthened.Over 5,000 workers were trained to start/run cow-based industries in villages across India. With the inspiration of Sri Ramchandrapura Math, Karnataka, a ‘Maa Gou Products’ company was formed to produce and market the panchgavya products in professional manner. An investment of Rs two crore was made in it and the company has started functioning. Taking another inspiring initiative the Math has stopped using mechanised sugar in the Math and only the gur is used there. It also donated over 1000 indigenous breed cows to various farmers.
