Vanraj Sinh a cow farmer at Shinor practice natural farming

Express his joy over scheme announce in state budget to nurture cows

As a new
initiative in State Budget a scheme has been announced for those who will 
nurture cows. The government in form will provided with subsidy of Rs 900 per
month and Rs 10,800 per annum for cow based farming. 

Vanraj
Sinh, a farmer and a herdsman of Shinor taluka’s Bavalia village nurtures the
Indian breed of cows and practices natural farming by using cow dung and cow
urine for cultivation purpose. He started rearing with one cow in 2008 and
today proud to have 110 breeds of Gir’s Indian cows. 

He
expressed his joy by saying that this scheme will increase herding of domestic
cows. He believes and follows a motto that nurturing a cow removes poverty and
also believes that this scheme is for domestic cows will encourage breeding of
Indian breed cows.  

Vanraj
Sinh says that cows breeding and cow based farming are difficult and also does
not give much in return is wrong. He says he earns from cow’s milk and ghee and
along with it almost practices natural farming by using cow urine and dung as
natural fertilizers while doing farming. 

From
cow’s urine and dung he makes solid and liquid jivamrut that work very well as
natural fertilizers. He also mixes aankdo, neem leaves and dhaturo with cow
urine and makes liquid fossils that prove an effective pest control. He
believes that cow based farming is a costless farming. He also believes that
his farming provides grass fodder which is useful for cattle rearing and so it
reduces the cost of fertilizers and pesticides. 

Vanraj
Sinh says that cow is a repository of qualities, one’s health is maintained
from cow’s ghee and milk and also land is preserved because of the dung and
urine. Currently around 30 of his cows provide around 150 Litres of milk. 
Natural and pure milk from his cows are in great demand  in Vadodara and
he delivers them at their door step. His Panchagavya based farming products are
sold at a higher price than the market price. 

The
Governor of Gujarat advocates natural farming and cow farming and it is worth
mentioning here that recently Vanraj Sinh was honored as a cow farmer by him.
