In Chhattisgarh, protecting and conserving cows is an important part of the campaign to transform the lives of farmers. State Government is taking effective steps in this direction through Narva, Garua, Ghurva, Bari and Gauthans under Suraaji Gaon Yojana and Godhan Nyay Yojana," he said in an official statement.In the program, Vice-Chairman of Gauseva Commission Mannalal Yadav, members Atal Yadav, Shekhar Tripathi, Narendra Yadav, Purushottam Sahu and Prashant Mishra took charge of their offices.

The state government has taken significant steps to bridge this gap through Suraji Gaon Yojana, Godhan Nyay Yojana and Roka-Chheka Abhiyan. People have become more interested and inclined towards agriculture and animal husbandry," he said.Baghel further said that Chhattisgarh is the first state in the country where cow dung is being procured for Rs 2 per kg, providing a new source of income for the farmers, livestock farmers and women of self-help groups engaged in the production of vermicompost."This scheme has also revived the dairy business.

The old tradition of Roka-Chheka has been revived in villages," said the Chief Minister.Congratulating the officers of the Commission, Baghel said that they have been entrusted with a big responsibility of 'Gau-Seva'. He said that 10,000 Gauthans have been sanctioned in the state, out of which land has been reserved for about 5,000 Gauthans for pasture.He said that the work of providing fodder for cattle in Gauthans in summer should be done on a priority basis.
