INTRODUCTION
Dairy Farming
Dairy Development
The Indian Dairy Industry has acquired substantial growth from the 1990 an annual
output of over 100.9 million tones of milk at the end of 2006-07. India's milk output has
not only placed the industry first in the world, but also represents sustained growth in the
availability of milk and milk products.
1.2 - According to World Bank estimates about 75 per cent of India's 940 million people
are in 5.87 million villages, cultivating over 145 million hectares of cropland. Average farm
size is about 1.66 hectares. Among 70 million rural households, 42 per cent operate up to
2 hectares and 37 per cent are landless households. These landless and small farmers have
in their possession 53 per cent of the animals and produce 51 per cent of the milk. Thus,
small / marginal farmers and land less agricultural laborers play a very important role in
milk production of the country. Dairy farming can also be taken up as a main occupation
around big urban centers where the demand for milk is high.
1. 3 - For dairy schemes with very large outlays, detailed reports will have to be prepared.
The items of finance would include capital asset items such as purchase of milch animals,
construction of sheds, purchase of equipments etc. The feeding cost during the initial
period of one/two months is capitalized and given as term loan. Facilities such as cost of
land development, fencing, and digging of well, commissioning of diesel engine/pump set,
electricity connections, essential servants' quarters, godown, transport vehicle, milk
processing facilities etc. can be considered for loan. Cost of land is not considered for loan.
However, if land is purchased for setting up a dairy farm, its cost can be treated as party's
margin up to 10% of the total cost of project.
1.4 - A Scheme can be prepared by a beneficiary after consulting local technical persons of
State animal husbandry department, dairy co-operative society/union/federation/
commercial dairy farmers. If possible, the beneficiaries should also visit progressive dairy
farmers and government/military/agricultural university dairy farm in the vicinity and
discuss the profitability of dairy farming. A good practical training and experience in dairy
farming will be highly desirable. The dairy co-operative societies established in the villages
as a result of efforts by the Dairy Development Department of State Government and
National Dairy Development Board would provide all supporting facilities particularly
marketing of fluid milk. Nearness of dairy farm to such a society, veterinary aid centre,
artificial insemination centre should be ensured. There is a good demand for milk, if the
dairy farm is located near urban centre.
The scheme should include information on land, livestock markets, availability of water,
feeds, fodders, veterinary aid, breeding facilities, marketing aspects, training facilities,
experience of the farmer and the type of assistance available from State Government, dairy
society/union/federation.
The scheme should also include information on the number of and types of animals to be
purchased, their breeds, production performance, cost and other relevant input and output
costs with their description. Based on this, the total cost of the project, margin money to be
provided by the beneficiary, requirement of bank loan, estimated annual expenditure,
income, profit and loss statement, repayment period, etc. can be worked out and shown in
the Project report. A format developed for formulation of dairy development schemes is
given as Annexure I.
SCOPE
Milk & its Dairy Farming is National Importance product in today as well world is playing
a very important role, The total milk production in the country for the year 2001-02 was
estimated at 84.6 million metric tonnes. Despite its being the largest milk producer in the
world, India's per capita availability of milk is one of the lowest in the world, although it is
high by developing country standards. The per capita availability of milk, which declined
during the 1950s and 1960s (from 124 grams per day in 1950-51 to 121 grams in 1973-74)
expanded substantially during the 1980s and 1990s and reached about 226 grams per day
in 2001-02 The per capita consumption of milk and milk products in India is among the
highest in Asia, but it is still growing. It is still below the world average of 285 grams per
day, and also the minimum nutritional requirement of 280 grams per day as recommended
by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) (see Sharma et.al., 2003).
On this concern, Dehradun, Haridwar and Rishikesh are very rich trading cities. This area
has a wide market for food grains, sweet shops. Departmental store, Dhramshala. Tourists
always come to these cities and hotels dharmshalas; restaurants and sweets shops always
require milk & its products. The Project has a very good demand for milk product in these
areas.
The founder of the institute Yogiraj Pranab Chaitanya ji has devoted whole of his
life for the services of the mankind with a noble cause of making people healthy physically
and mentally through Yoga & Meditation, controlled & natural diet Organic-foods and
disciplined life style. At the age of 22 years he got qualified as MBA from Calcutta. He
could have chosen a brilliant career in management but his dreams were different. He
decided to devote his life for services of the mankind. With the fast changing lifestyle of
human being various disease like diabetes, Heart Problems, asthma, polio, paralysis,
arthritis, gouts, cancer, epilepsy, hyper-tension, hypo-tension, insomnia, neuralgia, obesity,
etc have become very common. These diseases cause reduction in life span. Yogiraj Pranab
Chaitanya ji learnt the ancient therapies e.g. yoga and meditation, acupuncture &
acupressure, magnetic therapies, pranic-healing, chromopathy, pancha-tattwa, shat-karma
and yogic-kriyas etc. and got various diplomas on alternative therapies. He started using
these techniques for the betterment of human being since 1991. He is engaged in
organizing various Yoga camps, seminars every year in different parts of the country. He
does so with the help of contribution and donations from public and other social
organizations. In 1996 he made a public charitable trust named 'AKHANDA YOGA
DHAM TRUST' (A.Y.D.T) with a sole aim to serve the mankind. This charitable trust is
based on the ancient glory of India and is beyond the barrier of caste, creed and religion.
This also depicts the Golden civilization of Aryavat. Several thousands of people are getting
peace, good health as well as harmonious life by coming in contact with A.Y.D.T.
EFFECT:
The rural / village people and the urbanites have come forward and have highly appreciated the
approach, presented through individual health and spiritual problems, have seriously become
spiritually/Mentally/Physically/Health conscious to extent that people have sought to take care of
health, drink pure/protected water, take balanced diet, and are maintaining active food, work and
spiritual habits.
People have become environmentally conscious, and have awakened and responded
positively to become Eco-friendly and nature lovers. Women have gained recognition and respect
in society and have become self conscious, society/Eco-friendly and have resolved to make
quantum sacrifices for child education. With the introduction Yoga Culture with Nature cure
systems, life expectancy rate in our area has increased.
Unit Cost
Each Regional Office has constituted a State Level Unit Cost Committee under the Chairmanship
of RO-in-charges and with the members from developmental agencies, commercial banks and
cooperative banks to review the unit cost of various investments once in six months. The same is
circulated among the banks for their guidance. These costs are only indicative in nature and banks
are free to finance any amount depending upon the availability of assets.
Margin Money
Defined farmers into three different categories and where subsidy is not available the minimum
down payment as shown below is collected from the beneficiaries.
Our activities
Helpline: We run a helpline where citizens can call to inform about sick or stray cows and calves,
in the area.
Transportation: In association with volunteers, we arrange to bring the cattle to the campus.
Care: We care for the stray, ill-nourished and helpless cows by providing them food, shelter and
medical facilities.
Goseva means serving the cows. Bhagavat Geeta describes how Lord Krishna cared for the cows
and calves every morning, by taking them to graze on the Govardhana hill. We should also try to
serve the cows with similar attitude - by providing means for their food, shelter and medication.
Our mission is to care for stray, abandoned cows, bulls, retired oxen, and orphaned calves. We
provide them hay, flour, fresh grass, clean water, medical attention and a place where they can
recuperate from injuries and stay peacefully. But there are thousands of cattle requiring attention
and unless protected, they are destined to subsist on refuse and become plagued by various
debilitating and often terminal diseases, suffer injury from careless motorists, or worse, be
abducted and transported in very inhumane ways to the growing number of modern
slaughterhouses.
Thus there is an urgent need to act.

At “UTTARAKHAND KAMDHENU GOSHALA”, we have to maintain no.5000 of cows at our
Gaushala (Cowshed), a place where cows are being kept & looked after systematically. These cows
should feeded with Nourishing & protein and vitamin foods. They have to regularly examine by
veterinary doctors & treated accordingly. The cow is considered as a sacred & holy animal in
Hindu religion. We worship cow on various occasions and we call them Gomata.
We are a Non Government Organization (NGO) involved in Social Welfare Activities. In the field
of environmental Protection and preservation, we are actively involved in prevention of cruelty
against animals given to them either by Man or by nature. Many eminent and renowned social
workers and philanthropists are associated in this holy Venture of preserving and caring of these
helpless animals.
We have to provide shelter and food to these homeless cattle and also Take care of their medical
needs at our sprawling establishment At “UTTARAKHAND KAMDHENU GOSHALA”.
BANKING DETAIL OF THE ORGANISATION
As far as the water arrangement is concerned, Goshala to provide each shed a Separate water tank
and one pond. Goshala will its own Gobar Gas plant. The insecticides and medicine are Prepared
in large amount from the Gobar and Gau Mutra. This Goshala has to produces vermin compost in
largest Amount , Goshala organizes training camps and awareness camps about vermin compost.
In the presence of Goshala Patron, we try our best to aware people about how to stop killing of
cows for general Purposes. Regarding this work we face certain problems because of absence of
special identity cards provided by You. This awareness program cannot be completed successfully
without these identity cards. We, therefore humbly Request you to provide us the special identity
cards for each member of Goshala so that we could continue our Awareness program successfully.
Since the problems in properly looking after these stray cows are manifold and of complex nature,
the resources of “UTTARAKHAND KAMDHENU GOSHALA”are appear very limited. To
sustain such activities of Animal Welfare, it is possible only with the financial help / assistance in
the form of Donations, Contributions & Grant-in-Aid from well-meaning Individuals and
organizations. We would like to seek your kind cooperation and help in furtherance of this noble
Cause of providing adequate care and medical help to the stray cows. We would like to enlist your
valuable support And cooperation in our resolve to care of these animals by meeting their daily
requirements. Donation to our NGO are Exempt from Income Tax U/S 80G.
It is a task, a seva to Gomata and god, which should be done with great pride and devotion, as our
glorious Indian Heritage is incomplete without Gomata. This is a work of mammoth proportion
and is possible only with the Cooperation of all donors, patrons and public in general. We solicit
generous donations in cash or kind or service from all of you. You can donate a day's / month's
income to this noble cause.
Apart from this, the Goshala also rescues the animals meant for illegal and merciless slaughtering,
after being transported in cattle lorries under extremely cruel conditions with no food and water
for days, standing huddled together, stamped to unconsciousness or death, made to walk for miles
with starvation. The Goshala is an effort to care for these kinds, innocent, gentle and lovely
animals, that today are the victims and a gainful conduit for so many unlawful means.
Our welfare activities have sustained due to the financial assistance from individuals and
organizations. Help us further this noble cause, enlist your support in our resolve to care for these
animals. Presently, we have a covered area of 4 Bigha on a plot but, we need more covered area to
be able to accommodate more cows. For all medical services, we have to take the sick cattle to the
government run dispensary. This is a huge effort on the part of the sick animal, and the volunteers
as well. We seek an in-house veterinarian. We do not have any means of transportation for the sick
or stray cattle. All transport is arranged by the volunteers and this often leads to delay. Help us
build our infrastructure - in the form of land, building, transportation, veterinary dispensary,
fodder and fodder machines, haysheds or clean drinking water. A single dollar can help feed a cow
for a day, while $ 300 can help sustain her for a year.
Monetary contributions can be done through cheque, draft, bank transfer or even using Western
Union or Payable. Remember, all contributions are income tax exempted.
The Donations given for Goshala is considered very holy and Socially appreciated. The Person
who donates the Cow in Goshala does a great service towards the human. First of all the Cow is
saved from going to slotter house. Secondly once it starts giving milk the milk is offered to God &
gets blessings. The same milk being given to patients, Saints or needy who gives Hearty blessings.
The Cow urine is useful for making Ayurvadic medicines. Which makes human being a healthy
one. The Cow dunk is used as fertilizer in farming which land more fertile. If the Cow delivers a
male then it is useful in bullock cart useful in farming and female Cow gives milk after maturity.
Thus “Goshala” has lots of advantages & benefits. We request you to participate in this work as
shown below.

The Goshala Committee and cow lovers play an important role in proper working in Gaushala.
We would like you to go through the several reasons behind our purpose for seeking donations for
the Gaumata Since the wave of industrialization in the world; farming has come almost to an end.
Most farmers have diverted towards cash crop and stopped cultivating fodder crops. So whatever
fodder available is highly expensive and above all to buy a good quality fodder prepared without
the use of chemical fertilizers is like a dream come true.
-Also the feed we provide the cows which comes from cotton mills have raised their prices . As
before, twice a year the prices would come very down when we were able to stock the feeds for six
months together. But today the price is same all the year round.
-The price of milk is the same since 15 years. All the prices have come up but the milk prices are
the same as they were. Even the distilled water is sold on higher price than milk. We do have high
milk yielding cows at the Goshala so we provide maximum milk to the calf for their best growth
and a bright future. So obtaining milk for income of the Goshala shall be a sin by keeping the calf
hungry as milk is their actual food for at least four months of age. The remaining milk left by the
calf is then taken by us.
-Putting up new ideas for creating income for the Goshala, other than the green fodder cultivation
and the Gaumutra and Gobar sale shall divert our minds on the another path, so concentrating on
keeping the cows in the best should be the prime goal.
A HEALTHY COW WAS ONCE THE SYMBOL OF INDIAN CULTURE, BUT TODAY A
COW SHOWING MERE BONES AND WE PITY ON THEM IS THE VIEW WE SEE.
Sorry, but this is inhumanity and shame on us for this. Today visitors here ask us that ‘is this an
imported cow’ and the reason behind this question is because they find this type of good health in
cows outside India so they compare the perfect health of cows at the Goshala. We are proud to
prove ourselves of what perfect health a Indian Cow should have. Today they are no less than the
good quality cows found in other countries. They do not want mercy, but they have the right to be
respected. Increase in numbers of Panjrapole and Mahajan where stray cows are served is not a
good sign of a healthy country, just like the increase in homes for the old people is also not a good
sign.
-The labor problem is international. So the skilled labors available here charge very high salaries.
We at the “UTTARAKHAND KAMDHENU GOSHALA”Goshala are not at all dependent on
labors as we ourselves work with them but up to some extent you need them for the better caring
in a herd more than even 10 cows. Even if we sell the milk, the ghee, the Gaumutra ark, still the
expenses will not be covered.
-In the past the cows survived on grazing but there is no land left for the cows so every straw, we
are supposed to buy for them. The “UTTARAKHAND KAMDHENU GOSHALA”Goshala
provides the cows with the best medical treatment to ill cows. Also the mineral supplements we
provide to all the cows are of the best quality. The above points are some from many reasons to
explain you all, as those who are unknown about the facts of how a “UTTARAKHAND
KAMDHENU GOSHALA”Goshala manages, is for them why the “UTTARAKHAND
KAMDHENU GOSHALA”Gaushala need donation in the form of financial, mental or physical.
-A physical donor can come up to the Gaushala and help us in what way he/she wants to. Even
you can propagate about our services to the Cows to your friends and ask them if they can be of
any help to the “UTTARAKHAND KAMDHENU GOSHALA”Goshala.
-A mental donor can at least pray for us to GOD for giving us more strength in rendering this great
cause of Gauseva for years to come.
-A financial donor is also very important as all know that every breath costs. So you can help us by
contributing to the “UTTARAKHAND KAMDHENU GOSHALA”Goshala in a part or whole.
We can explain how?
The Gaushala can also provide a board-takti, at the campus with the donors name on it so others
get encouragement of doing this great deed. A donor can purchase any of the items mentioned
above by his/her own self and can provide the Gaushala hand to hand or by any other means.
There are several items you can provide the Gaushala like green fodder, dry fodder, cow feeds,
mineral supplements, cleaning utensils, feeders, eating salt, jaggrey [gud], cow comfort equipments
etc. We can help you find any of these mentioned above. In the grand culture of India which is
full of thousand ways for obtaining eternal [avinashi] peace that is the lap of God Himself, serving
the cows is one great way. So there are many occasions that come across the year round like the
Gopasthmi, Janamasthmi, Makarsankranti [Uttarayan], Ramnavmi/Shrihari Jayanti, Ekadashi,
Purnima [the full moon], on the birthday of your loved ones, on the death of ones loved one and
many other. So you can fulfill two great deeds at one time. You can contribute the Gaushala and
help us in serving the cows in the best possible way we can and on the other hand gain huge
profits. Kartik Sud Atham is Gopashthmi- the day when Bhagvan Shri Krishna Chandra went out
with th calves in Vrindavan.
The above are some auspicious days which are said favourable days for Gauseva. But the month of
Shravan is a whole month where everyday is a day of Gauseva. When Khsatriya kings used to rule
their kingdom in the past, many of them went with all the cows of their kingdom leaving behind
the herdsmen at home and alone went to the jungle to feed them during this whole Shravan
month.
We are looking forward for a bright future of Indin cows the Gaumata. Welcome to the home of
pure Indian breed of cows. We are proud to present the most respected, most popular and of
course the best of Indian breed of Cows. These cows are the most ancient pure bred cows and have
been used to improve other breeds of cow all over the world as it is known for its high milk yield
and sturdiness. We have done some efforts to propagate these cows [though not much required]
for the masses to know all about them asmuch possible. We promise to provide you all, more
information on them soon. Thank you and wish you a happy surfing.
Insurance
The animals may be insured annually or on long term master policy, where ever it is applicable.
The present rate of insurance premium for scheme and non scheme animals are 2.25% and 4.0%
respectively.
8. Package of Common Management Practices Recommended for Dairy Farmers
Modern and well established scientific principles, practices and skills should be used to obtain
maximum economic benefits from dairy farming. Some of the major norms and recommended
practices are as follows :.
Housing:
1. Construct shed on dry, properly raised ground.
2. Avoid water-logging, marshy and heavy rainfall areas.
3. The walls of the sheds should be 1.5 to 2 meters high.
4. The walls should be plastered to make them damp proof.
5. The roof should be 3-4 meters high.
6. The cattle shed should be well ventilated.
7. The floor should be pucca/hard, even non-slippery impervious, well sloped (3 cm per meter)
and properly drained to remain dry and clean.
8. Provide 0.25 meters broad, pucca drain at the rear of the standing space.
9. A standing space of 2 x 1.05 meters for each animal is needed.
10. The manger space should be 1.05 meters with front height of 0.5 meters and depth of 0.25
meters.
11. The corners in mangers, troughs, drains and walls should be rounded for easy cleaning.
12. Provide 5-10 sq. meters loaf space for each animal.
13.Provide proper shade and cool drinking water in summer.
14.In winter keep animals indoor during night and rain.
15. Provide individual bedding daily.
16. Maintain sanitary condition around shed.
17.Control external parasites (ticks, flies etc.) by spraying the pens, sheds with Malathion or
Copper sulphate solution.
18. Drain urine into collection pits and then to the field through irrigation channels.
19.Dispose of dung and urine properly. A gobar gas plant will be an ideal way. Where gobar gas
plant is not constructed, convert the dung alongwith bedding material and other farm wastes into
compost.
20.Give adequate space for the animals. (The housing space requirement of crossbred cattle in
various categories/age-groups is given in Annexure-VII).
