i)Gogras Yojna (Fodder for cow):
Feeding the cow is a Punya Karma (holy deed). We inspire the people for feeding the cow in following ways:
- While cooking, first Roti/chapatti should be made for the cow and should be fed to her.
- Daily, keep aside fist of grain powder and feed it to the cow.
- Once in a year, donate to Goshala, an amount at least at the rate of Rupee ten per day.
This is an attempt to creat an awareness in the society about cause of the cow.
Our organization has floated a scheme, Gogras Yojna. Under this scheme people can donate to our organization, an amount as per their wish, which we utilise for purchasing feed for the cows which are being sheltered by us at our three sites viz Mhaispur, Alegaon & Savargaon.
ii)Gauchara Yojna (Hay for cow):
Under this scheme, anyone can donate a fixed sum to our organization on a special occasion like birthday, marriage anniversary etc. The name and occasion chosen by the donor are written on that special day every year, on the white board displayed prominently in our office at M.G. Road, Akola. The donations received under this scheme are kept as a Fixed Deposit in the Bank, and interest received on it is utilised to purchase Gauchara (Hay) for the cows.

viii)Go-Dattak Yojna (‘Adopt a cow’ scheme):
Our institution is sheltering and feeding cow progeny at our Mhaispur, Alegaon and Savargaon sites. These cow progeny are ones which are saved from illegal slaughtering and the ones surrendered to us by the farmers for financial reasons.
Almost every year we are facing the scarcity of fodder due to famine. On the top of it the number of cow progeny rescued from slaughtering is increasing day by day. The funds raised by our organization through activities like sale of our products of medicines and fertilizers are not sufficient for maintenance of the ever increasing cow progeny .
The scheme is floated to raise funds to purchase fodder for cow progeny. As per this scheme, any one can adopt a cow from our Prakalp and donate maney for her maintenance. The cow remains at our site. The duration of the scheme is five years. He can donate Rs.300/- per month or Rs-3650/- per year or Rs. 18250/- in a single payment for five years. The total sum collected under the scheme will be utilized to purchase fodder for the cows. Each cow adopted by the donors will be given an unique number. The donor’s name and cow’s unique number would be written in the front side of cow shelter at our Mhaispur site. The donor will be given receipt for his donation and the unique number of the cow will be noted on the receipt.
The donor can visit his adopted cow at his convenience and develop an acquaintance by caressing her and feeding fodder to her.
This scheme enables an individual to serve and develop acquaintance with the cow because in the present situation, it is not possible for every individual in the society to shelter and feed a cow at his home.
