Mukhyamantri Gau Mata Poshan Sahay Yojana

Why it matters

Registered cow shelters and panjrapols get daily financial support to feed and care for cows, indirectly benefiting farmers who depend on shelters for unproductive cattle.

What you get

Launched as part of the Gujarat Budget 2025-26, the Mukhyamantri Gau Mata Poshan Sahay Yojana provides financial assistance of Rs 30 per day per animal to registered gaushalas (cow shelters) and panjrapols (animal welfare shelters) for the upkeep and nourishment of sheltered cattle. While the direct beneficiary is the registered shelter institution, the scheme indirectly supports the broader dairy and farming community by strengthening the cattle-care infrastructure many farmers and gaushalas rely on.
