Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has said that the state government has been consistently working with top priority towards Gau Sanrakshan (protection of cows), taking several initiatives for the development of Gaushalas (cowsheds), protection of Gauvansh (cow progeny), and promotion of natural farming.

Saini said Gau Seva (service to cows) and farming are complementary to each other. ‘Gau Mata’ is the foundation of our economy. Since ancient times, in our country, a person owning more cows was considered wealthier. The milk of indigenous cows is extremely beneficial in the prevention and treatment of diabetes and heart diseases, he said.
The chief minister said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emphasized ‘Vocal for Local’ to make India Atmanirbhar (self-reliant). The path of ‘Gau Mata Sanrakshan’ and the strength of ‘Swadeshi’ is what leads us toward Atmanirbhar Bharat. Therefore, we must work actively and wholeheartedly in this direction.
He further said that making the state free from stray cattle is one of the government’s priorities. For this, two Gau Abhyaranyas (sanctuaries for cows) have been established in Panipat and Hisar, with proper arrangements for sheds, water, and fodder.
He added that around four lakh Gauvansh are being looked after in 686 Gaushalas across Haryana. Solar energy plants have been installed in 330 Gaushalas. The registration of Gaushala land is done free of cost, and the budget of the Gau Seva Aayog has been increased to Rs 595 crore, said Saini.
