- 2. MILLETALK | Issue 1.1 2 Sherda is a small village with a population of approx.6000 people located on the Haryana-Rajasthan border, approximately 30km from Hissar. It is situated in an area which gets very scanty rainfall and is susceptible to periods of drought. Over the last few years, due to severe drought conditions, the villagers were forced to abandon the milch animals as they did not have the means to sustain them. The animals were left in the protection of the village gaushala. These animals hold an extremely sentimental and emotional space in the psyche of villagers and it is only due to extreme conditions that they are forced to abandon. The sentimental attachment to these milch animals can be gauged from the fact that the village panchayat has donated a land measuring 18 acres valued at over 10 crores to the Gaushala Samiti for upkeep of these abandoned animals. The villagers are very desirous of constructing a permanent shed so that these milch animals can be tended to and Gaushala First mega project of RCDM Cost of Project & Source of Funds Total Cost of the Project is Rs.16 lacs Major Donors: - Rtn.Mohit Arya Rs.5 lacs - Rtn.Navneet Sureka Rs.5 lacs - Rtn.Anand Mundhra Rs.1 lac - Rtn.Yogendra Siotia Rs.1 lac - Rtn.Gautam Gupta Rs.50K - Rtn.Pulak Lohia Rs.50K - Rtn. Pankaj Vats Rs.50K taken care of. Other than the emotional attachment with these animals, they also help maintain the overall ecosystems of the area as the dung is used by the farmers for fertilizer of the limited farming activities in the region. In addition, the milk from the cows helps to sustain the livelihood of a number of families. Rotary Club of Delhi Millennium have undertaken the project of helping with the overall development of this village. In the first stage, we propose to construct a gaushala measuring 7000 sq.feet for the upkeep of these animals. In second stage, the club proposes to construct a gobar gas plant which will help to generate clean energy and sustain the activities of the gaushala on a regular basis.
