The Goushala dedicated to the indigenous Goan cow breed ‘Shwetakapila’ was inaugurated by Governor P S Sreedharan Pillai and Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 72nd birthday on Saturday. (Express Photo)A Goushala (a protective shelter for cows) and a ‘Vamanavriksha Kala Garden’ of 72 potted plants will now be the new tourist attractions on sprawling premises of the over 450-year-old monumental complex housing Goa Raj Bhavan, the residence of Governor, in Dona Paula.
The Goushala dedicated to the indigenous Goan cow breed ‘Shwetakapila’ was inaugurated by Governor P S Sreedharan Pillai and Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 72nd birthday on Saturday.
After feeding bananas and grass to the 20 cows and two bulls housed in the Goushala, the Governor and the Chief Minister performed a puja of the cow. “I am very happy to be a part of these events organised by our Governor on the occasion of PM Modi’s birthday. Goushala for the Shwetakapila breed will attract tourists. There are many Goushalas in the country but this is unique because it is exclusively for the Shwetakapila cows. The ‘Gau premis’ (cow lovers) from across the country will now come to the Raj Bhavan to see the Shwetakapila cow,” said CM Pramod Sawant.
Governor P S Sreedharan Pillai said that new Gaushala was different from those in Rajasthan and UP as this a local, traditional way of protecting cows and producing maximum amount of milk.
“We contacted many business concerns and public field concerns, who are prepared to help us. The idea is that maximum milk be produced. Raj Bhavan will give this milk to the poor. This is the first such attempt in India. With the Raj Bhavan and the state government together, we will be able to achieve our final goal.”
