According to information, ₹ 11,000 will be granted under Cattle Adoption Scheme for the maintenance of each cow per year. People too can donate a minimum of ₹ 10 to any of the Goshalas through Punyakoti Dattu portal. This money will go for infrastructure and other expenses as per their wish.
The government aims to make Goshalas financially sound and run smoothly with the cooperation of the common people through this scheme.
