Registered Section 8 non-profit · Delhi & Haryana

Protecting, caring and serving cows with compassion.

Abandoned on roadsides, injured in traffic, too old to be useful to anyone — the cattle who arrive here have run out of options. We give them fodder, treatment, shade and a place to finish their lives with dignity.

Why give

A cow nobody wants still eats every single day.

That is the whole problem in one sentence. Once cattle stop producing milk or can no longer pull a cart, they are quietly let loose. They eat plastic from roadside bins, they are hit by vehicles, and they suffer wounds nobody treats.

A gaushala is not a sentimental idea. It is a daily logistics operation — fodder bought and cut, water hauled, wounds dressed, sheds repaired before the monsoon. It runs on money that arrives reliably.

  • Your money buys a physical thing. Bhusa, green fodder, cattle feed, medicines, tin sheets, water.
  • Nothing can be distributed to members. Our Section 8 licence prohibits dividends or profit-sharing, by law.
  • You get an 80G receipt. Deductible under the Income Tax Act, 1961.
  • You can check everything. CIN, PAN, 12A, 80G and NGO Darpan are all published on this site.

The seva ledger

We can tell you exactly what a rupee buys, because we buy it every morning.

A cow at our shelter eats 3.6 kg of dry fodder, 6 kg of green fodder and 3 kg of concentrate feed a day. At the rates in our project budget, that comes to ₹35. Everything below is arithmetic on that number — not a marketing figure.

How it actually went

Three years, told honestly — including the parts that went wrong.

  • 26 June 2023 Registered as a Section 8 non-profit

    Incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 with the object of gau seva — food, shelter, medical aid and dignified last rites for cattle.

  • July 2023 The first cow found us

    An injured cow whose tail had been bitten off by street dogs was seen wandering nearby. Our sevaks searched for two or three days without finding her. Then she walked up to the gaushala and sat down, as if she had come to ask. Hari Kishan ji treated her. She is still with us.

  • 19 August 2023 12A and 80G approvals granted

    Income Tax approvals came through, making donations tax-deductible and opening the door to institutional giving.

  • 2024 Moved the herd to Haryana

    Space and conditions in East Delhi could not support a growing herd. The cattle were relocated to a site in Jhajjar district where a proper shelter could be built.

  • 2024–25 The water problem

    The groundwater at the new site did not suit the animals. For several months we trucked in water every single day for roughly 65 cows. It was expensive, exhausting and unsustainable — and we said so plainly in our report.

  • 14 May 2025 25,000-litre underground water tank

    Construction began on permanent underground storage. It ended the daily water crisis for good.

  • July 2025 A stronger shelter, after the rain took the first one

    Heavy rain and wind destroyed the temporary wooden and tin shelter. We rebuilt in steel, with proper roofing and shade netting.

  • 2025–26 Dignified last rites

    When cattle die of age or injury we bury them with respect rather than leaving them to municipal disposal. It is part of what we committed to in our founding document.

Honesty and transparency is the key to our success.
