Dr. Vallabhbhai Kathiria, Bhupendrasinh Chudasama, and the GCCI team had the privilege of paying a courtesy visit to the Hon’ble Governor of Gujarat and Maharashtra, Acharya Devvrat Ji, at Raj Bhavan, Gandhinagar. On this occasion, a detailed presentation and deliberation were held on the upcoming ambitious global event “Gau Tech–2026: Cow Based Global Summit & Expo.” The global summit is scheduled to be held from 20 to 23 March 2026 in Pune, Maharashtra, with participation from experts and organizations associated with cow-based industries, natural farming, dairy, Panchgavya, bio-energy, startups, and the investment sector.
While briefing Acharya Devvrat Ji about Gau Tech–2026, Dr. Kathiria stated that Gau Tech is not merely an exhibition or an expo, but a comprehensive philosophy aimed at establishing the cow-based economy at the global level. Through this summit, cow-based industries, cow-centered natural farming, Panchgavya-based products, rural employment, women’s self-employment, youth entrepreneurship, and the Brown Revolution will collectively accelerate the vision of building an Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India).
After hearing the detailed overview of Gau Tech–2026, the Hon’ble Governor expressed great appreciation and described such a cow-based global exhibition and summit as timely, visionary, and nationally significant initiative. He emphasized that cow-based industries and natural farming can integrate India’s traditional knowledge systems with modern technology and lead the nation towards sustainable development. Terming Gau Tech–2026 as a platform that offers a new direction for India, the Hon’ble Governor conveyed his positive response and assured his presence at the inaugural session of Gau Tech–2026, subject to his schedule.
