According to reports, the cabinet which will have officials from seven government departments will meet for the first time on November 22, on the eve of Gopasthami, a festival dedicated to Lord Krishna and cows, at Kamdhenu Gau Abhyaranyateh, the country’s first cow sanctuary in Agar-Malwa.
The cabinet will work towards developing an alternate source of employment for rural folks by tapping into the potential of cows and related resources.
प्रदेश में गोधन संरक्षण व संवर्धन के लिए ‘गौकैबिनेट’ गठित करने का निर्णय लिया गया है।
पशुपालन, वन, पंचायत व ग्रामीण विकास, राजस्व, गृह और किसान कल्याण विभाग गौ कैबिनेट में शामिल होंगे।

Representatives from departments such as Animal Husbandry, Forest, Panchayat and Rural Development, Revenue, Home and Kisan Kalyan will be a part of the cabinet, state BJP chief spokesperson Deepak Vijayvargiya told media persons.
“Industrialisation cannot be the only solution towards providing employment. The economy surrounding cows is a sustainable one which is going on for over 2,000 years. Through this cabinet, the government will provide sustainable infrastructure for developing a cow-economy to raise incomes in the rural setup,” he was quoted as saying.
