The Soul of Indian Culture - Indigenous (Desi) Cow
The indigenous cow is the soul of Indian culture. For thousands of years, its use has been considered auspicious for family and spiritual growth. It is the best example of nature's divine blessings to humans. In today's fast-paced life, we have distanced ourselves from nature and neglected our duty to preserve it. As a result, we are suffering from various diseases and mental stress.
According to Indian scriptures, "Mother Cow is revered as the supreme creation of nature." Every part of the cow has a significant influence on human life. But today, due to negligence, the number of cows is decreasing. Every cow is important, whether giving milk or not. Therefore, instead of sending non-milking cows outside, we should take responsibility for their care.

Our Mission
Our mission is to restore the dignity and significance of the cow in society by creating a harmonious environment for both the animals and the people who care for them. Kamdhenu Lok Kalyan Samiti, strives to develop cowsheds as Village Development Mandirs, transforming them into sanctuaries of care, compassion, and community upliftment. These cowsheds will not only provide a safe haven for cows but will also serve as centers for social and spiritual well-being, fostering awareness about the importance of cow protection and its vital role in sustainable development.
A Symbol of Selflessness and Simplicity
The cow is not just an animal; it is a living statue of charity, simplicity, and modesty. Its existence teaches us the values of selflessness, compassion, and humility. At our center, we aim to highlight the true essence of the cow and its invaluable contributions to human life, especially the lives of the poor and marginalized sections of society. By providing them with shelter, food, and care, we hope to not only ensure the welfare of the cows but also nurture the values of kindness and selflessness in our communities.
Our Vision
With the growing influence of Western ideals, it is crucial for us to reconnect with our roots and understand the importance of the cow in our culture. The cowshed development program at Kamdhenu Lok Kalyan Samiti aims to not only protect and care for cows but also promote sustainable farming practices, rural development, and the preservation of our cultural heritage. We envision a future where the cow is once again revered and integrated into the fabric of Indian society, benefiting both humanity and nature.
