Not only medicines are being made from cow dung, but also household items like incense sticks bio pesticides, manure etc are being prepared out of cow-dung. The system of cow rearing can be understood from the era of Lord Krishna where he gave the message of public welfare-Kalyan through cow rearing.

It is very important for them to be self-reliant for cow protection. Cows are our real asset to fulfil all the dreams of the life by providing the livelihood and revenues. Today, many Gaushala institutions are working as a model to make the institution self reliance by providing making avenues. But they do not have any platform to sell and earn the money. GCCI is committed for this purpose. Referring to the use of fertilizers in the past, he was told that a subsidy of about 144 crores has been saved in the country by the use of organic manure made from cow dung and urine. Today, the use of cow dung and urine has also given birth to a new technology which has made this work easier. To promote this, there are many schemes in all the Ministries under the Central Government, which people do not know and therefore, GCCI has also taken the responsibility to create Marketplace.
Former Governor of Karnataka, Vijubhai Vala Walo said that cow protection is not only related to identity of the country, but is also related to nourish human, all living creatures including earth, maintaining and protecting nature is a major role of cows. Strict action should be taken against those who obstruct the cow protection activities. That’s why it is necessary to ban cow slaughter in the country.
