A dedicated cowshed providing shelter and care for Gaumata — producing 125+ litres of fresh milk daily to nourish our Prabhuji residents.
Apna Ghar's Gau Niketan is both a welfare facility and a sustainable resource. We shelter cows abandoned due to age, illness, or non-productivity — caring for them as living expressions of the divine. In return, the healthy cows contribute fresh milk that supplements the nutritional needs of our 14,711+ Prabhuji residents.
Daily milk production of 125+ litres from the Gau Niketan goes directly to our residents — providing calcium, protein, and essential nutrients. This sustainable loop — caring for cows, benefiting residents — is a core example of Apna Ghar's integrated service model.
Covered, clean stables for all cows. Separate areas for sick, healthy, and milking cows. Natural ventilation and hygiene maintained.
Daily provision of green fodder, dry fodder, and grain mixture. Special feed for sick, pregnant, and lactating cows.
125+ litres of fresh milk daily distributed to Prabhuji residents. Hygienic milking practices and storage protocols maintained.
Regular veterinary checkups, vaccinations, and treatment. Full access to Jeev Sewa Grah veterinary facilities and government vet partnerships.
Daily worship and reverence for Gaumata. The cowshed is a place of spiritual service as much as practical care.
Cow dung used for biogas and organic fertilizer. Sustainable circular economy supporting the ashram's ecological footprint.
In addition to the Gau Niketan at Bharatpur HQ, Apna Ghar operates the Apna Ghar Lohagarh Gaushala — a large-scale gaushala facility near Bharatpur. The Lohagarh Gaushala shelters 1,800+ Gaumata and requires ₹15,000/day for feeding alone. Your support makes this sustainable.
