Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel launched a new scheme on Sunday to convert Gauthans (cow shelters) into village industrial parks, which will house activities sustaining livelihood generation.

According to officials, around 300 gauthan-cum-industrial parks will be established under the ‘Mahatma Gandhi Rural Industrial Parks’ scheme (MGRIP).

The current fiscal year’s budget includes a total budget of 600 crore.

Under its flagship scheme, Suraji Gaon Yojna, the state government has established Gauthans in over 8,000 villages.

Cow dung is procured in these Gauthans for 2 per kilogramme under the Godhan Nyay Yojna, and the dung is used to prepare vermicompost.

The same Gauthans will now be used to promote poultry farming, fisheries, and food processing.
