Preserving India’s Heritage: The Mission to Protect Desi Cow

India’s spiritual and agricultural heritage has always held a special place for the cow, especially its native breeds—collectively referred to as Desi cows. Revered as sacred in Indian culture and vital to sustainable rural economies, Desi cows are now facing a serious crisis due to urbanization, industrial agriculture, and dwindling awareness of their importance.
At the forefront of the movement to protect and nurture these invaluable animals is the Shree Krishnayan Gaurakshashala, a dedicated initiative under the Shree Krishnayan Sewa Foundation. With compassion, tradition, and science at its core, the Gaurakshashala is on a mission to preserve India’s native cattle breeds and promote their relevance in modern times.
