Former Union Minister and Ex-Chairman of the National Kamdhenu Commission, Dr. Vallabhbhai Kathiria, recently met with the Hon’ble Governor of Jharkhand, Shri Santosh Gangwar, at Raj Bhavan, Ranchi, during his visit to the state. The meeting focused on cow-based development, scientific approaches to Gauseva, and the role of a cow-centric economy in building an Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India). Dr. Kathiria briefed the Governor on the success of “GAUTECH–2023” and presented the blueprint for the upcoming “GAUTECH–2025”. He explained that GAUTECH is emerging as a global platform to promote innovation, startups, scientific research, and entrepreneurship based on cow products and services. It is making a significant contribution in reshaping the agricultural and rural economy of India. On this occasion, Dr. Kathiria shared detailed information about the work being done by the Global Confederation of Cow-Based Industries (GCCI) across the country. He stated that GCCI is facilitating the promotion of cow urine and dung-based products, Panchgavya Ayurveda, cow-based natural farming, skill training for women and youth, and providing marketing platforms — all of which have empowered thousands of gaushalas, farmers, and entrepreneurs. Governor Shri Gangwar appreciated the dedicated work being carried out by Dr. Kathiria in the field of cow protection and assured full cooperation to further strengthen cow-based industries in the state. Present during this important meeting were Pujya Swami Shri Randhir Ji, Pujya Swami Shri Anubhavanand Ji, Shri S.K. Mittal, Shri Gaurav Kumar Gupta, Shri Sunil Manasinha, and other dignitaries. All of them shared their views and proposals with the Governor, aiming to make Jharkhand a model state in cow service and cow-based technology.
