Facilities

Gaushala (Cow Shed)

In a Hindu household, the cow is worshipped for many reasons. We all grow up on healthy cow’s milk and therefore, a cow is considered next only to the mother. At Vatsalya Gram, many children are brought in when they are only infants. Unfortunately, there is an absence of breast milk which is so vital for the child’s development. In order to sustain life, and give the children proper nutrition, cow’s milk makes an excellent substitute.

The Kamdhenu Gaushala at Vatsalya Gram provides a continuous supply of fresh milk and other dairy products, all of which are manufactured in-house. Keeping in line with the traditions and the culture, the cow is honored and worshipped as the mother at Vatsalya Gram, and as a sign of respect, is given residence at a clean and well maintained cow shed.

Residential Complex

A coherent family requires a residential unit which it can call its own. Apart from the emotional ties of a family, families also need material possessions to quantify their existence and sustenance.
