 TTD EO Dr KS Jawahar Reddy has emphasised the Nodal Goshala operators on Saturday on the need for a high voltage publicity campaign on Go Samrakshana, Goshala maintenance, Go-based farming, environment and public health upliftment through the use of Panchagavya products.

 

Addressing a virtual conference with selected nodal Goshala operators of all AP districts the TTD EO highlighted the need for special training to the Goshala operators and that the SVBC will conceive and telecast special programs to enlighten people on the issue.

 

Responding to the burning issues raised by the Goshala operators like hurdles in Go based farming, marketing etc. The EO highlighted the various initiatives of TTD in the realm of Gosamrakshana, Go-based farming etc.

 

He said as part of the campaign to promote dairy farming in the state, TTD has freely distributed 1300 milch bovines and bullocks to go farming farmers.

TTD has also signed an MoU with the state farmers body for buying organic products for the daily preparation of Srivari naivedyam and in the coming days TTD plans to buy organically grown rice, jaggery, groundnuts from farmers at remunerative prices.

 

The EO assured the Nodal goshala operators that TTD will discuss with the Endowment Commissioner on buying of Go-based products at all major temples in the state and also post it to government notice to the allocation of Go Sanchar land (grazing land) in every village.
