Chandigarh, 25 August 2025

Haryana’s Energy, Transport & Labour Minister, Sh. Anil Vij, today said that since 2014 the State Government has provided financial assistance of Rs. 413 crore to gaushalas for the upkeep of stray cattle. Continuing this initiative under the Gaushala and Gaussadan Development Project, cheques worth Rs. 20.77 lakh were presented to Rambagh Gaushala Committee, Ambala Cantonment, and Rs. 3.11 lakh to Bhagwan Shri Parshuram Gaushala, Khatauli. Sh. Vij personally handed over the cheques to the representatives of the gaushalas.

Sh. Vij said that the Haryana Government is committed to the upliftment of all sections of society. He urged citizens to voluntarily extend support to gaushalas as a gesture of respect towards ‘Gau Mata,’ so that no stray cattle are left wandering on the streets. “The government provides assistance from time to time for the functioning of gaushalas, but the participation of the general public is equally important,” he emphasized.

The Minister added that the State Government has increased the budget for running gaushalas and has also initiated the opening of new gaushalas with the objective of ensuring that no stray cattle roam on roads. He praised the service-oriented work of gaushala representatives in maintaining stray cattle and assured them of continued government support. “When people come forward to help gaushalas, these institutions will become self-reliant and stray cattle will no longer be a problem. Such projects belong to society, and it is our shared responsibility to contribute to them,” he said.

On this occasion, representatives of the gaushalas expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Sh. Anil Vij and the State Government, noting that whenever they have presented any demand before the government, it has been readily accepted. They also conveyed appreciation for Sh.
