MALEMAHADESHWARA HILLS – MEVU BANK

The Malemahadeshwara Hills

[MM Hills] in Chamarajnagar district

of Karnataka state is the natural

habitat for Hallikar, Baragur and

Alambady breed of cows. It is

estimated that about 1 lakh of Desi

cows are grazing in this forest range.

The farmers are totally dependent on

the natural grass grown in this forest.

3 years back forest Karnataka Forest

Department had started fencing this

area. Rain has dropped considerably in

the last 4 years.

The situation here is

pathetic now. A large number of

cattle are not getting grass in the

locality and they are not allowed

to go inside the forest. The

farmers don’t have capacity to

purchase even a bundle of dry

grass. Large number of cows are

starving to death. Government

action in providing grass and water

is totally ineffective.

Kamadugha mission under the guidance of Shree Shree Raghaveshwara Bharathi Mahaswamiji had

conducted big awareness program here recently.

Under Kamadugha we have started to provide dry grass to the cows here. The areca leaves,

otherwise wasted in the areca garden

will be shredded as rough powder and

can be fed to the cows. We are

collecting the wasted areca leaves from

areca leaves plate manufacturing units

also. It is estimated that around 10 tons

of such powder can be arranged in a

week in the Areca plantation area

which is sufficient to feed 1000 cows

for 5 days.

To powder the areca leaves we have to have 2

Shredding machines at the cost of Rs 50,000.00

each. This is a mobile unit. We can powder the

leaves wherever the leaves are available. This

machine can be used in the Goushalas also.

Each truck load will be costing around

Rs. 35,000.00.

We kindly request you to sponsor these grass

loads, so that feeding of poor cows is facilitated

from your Gouseva.

Details of Gou sevas:

1 Shredding Machines 50,000.00

2 Each truck load of powdered areca leaves 35,000.00

3 Transportation per Truck Load 15,000.00

Thanking you,
