According to experts, this will ensure the safety of crops and increase productivity by 20%. The spokesperson said that a comprehensive plan was prepared for the production and marketing of 'Panchgavya' products made from cow dung, cow urine, milk, curd, and ghee. By joining this scheme, women in rural areas will become self-reliant, and local youth will get new employment opportunities at the local level. Under the scheme, women of self-help groups in each district will be given the responsibility of manufacturing, marketing, and training of Panchgavya-based products. In addition, farmers will be given special training programs so that farming can be made chemical-free and environmentally friendly. Anurag Srivastava, OSD of Uttar Pradesh Gau Seva Commission, said that recently the commission conducted a state-wide inspection and studied livestock density, available land, water sources, and cow shelters. Besides this, an action plan was made to connect local youth in the marketing of growth promoters and organic manure. "This will give new impetus to organic farming. On the other hand, local employment opportunities will be generated in the rural economy," the spokesperson said.

Additionally, we highlighted the potential of promoting organic farming through the use of cow dung as a viable alternative to chemical inputs. Also, we had a discussion about our ongoing Gau Rashtra Yatra and how it will tell the story of Gaupaalaks and Gausevaks across the country.

He said, "We presented our AI-first dairytech platform, Dairykhata, built for the empowerment of dairy farmers in rural and semi-urban areas. We kept our mission in front of Shyam Bihar that we want every gaushala to become a micro-enterprise. When we digitize even 10% of Indian gaushalas, the social and economic ripple effect could touch millions of rural lives. Through Dairykhata, we are aiming to revolutionize the way gaushalas and dairy farms run in our country, and its impact is going to be remarkable in the next 10 years." "We brought the picture of full-scale digitalization of government and trust-run Gaushalas in front of Shyam Bihari Gupta and creation of a tech-integrated Gauseva ecosystem with end-to-end support. He was impressed by our initiative, and he promised to extend support in every possible way." Venugopal Naidu Puvvada concluded after this statement.
