Our Partnership Model

Save Cows India follows a collaborative project model.

The objective is to bring the right partners together for the right project.

For example:

Project requirement → Local gaushala or community → Technical partner → CSR or donor → Project implementation → Monitoring and impact reporting

Depending on the project, partners can contribute:

• Land and local infrastructure

• Technical expertise

• Veterinary support

• Project funding

• CSR funding

• Construction expertise

• Research and documentation

• Community mobilisation

• Training

• Monitoring and impact assessment

Sustainable Gaushala Development

A gaushala needs more than shelter for cows.

A sustainable gaushala should address the complete operating ecosystem.

This includes:

• Cow housing and welfare

• Fodder production and management

• Veterinary care

• Water availability

• Waste and dung management

• Panchagavya production

• Renewable energy

• Rainwater harvesting

• Composting

• Organic and regenerative agriculture

• Rural employment

• Financial sustainability

Save Cows India seeks to develop partnerships that help gaushalas move towards a more sustainable operating model.
