The communitry has started a ‘Goshala cow sanctuary’ that protects cows from slaughter while educating people about how saving these animals promotes a sustainable ecosystem. “We believe that kindness to animals leads to kindness to humans and hence a peaceful world,” President Naren Koka of the organistaion was quoted as saying by the Casa Grande Dispatch newspaper.

At Goshala, the cows are respected, honoured and adored.Protecting them promotes peace and good health, said Mr. Koka.
