What is Karnataka Punyakoti Dattu Yojane 2024

Cows are significant to India's heritage and society. In the olden days, almost every house had a cowshed but with the rapid urbanization people have lost the luxury of rearing cows in their homes. Abandonment of cows by farmers in financial hardship and illegal slaughtering has resulted in loss of native cow breeds.

Thus, state govt. brought in Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Act 2021 to preserve and ensure protection of abandoned, rescued, confiscated, sick and injured cattle. Govt. is setting up goshalas in every district in addition to providing financial assistance to private goshalas.

As the next step in the endeavour to preserve our cattle wealth, the Government has announced the Punyakoti Dattu Yojana. It is a unique programme to give an opportunity for the people to join hands with the govt. to care for our cows and make our goshalas "atma-nirbhar". Punyakoti Dattu Yojana 2024 is a flagship cow adoption programme of Karnataka government.
