At Ananda's Seva Sadana Trust, financial transparency is a core principle. When you sponsor our Yearly Gau Seva programme, you deserve to know exactly how your contribution makes an impact. Here is a detailed, honest breakdown.
Monthly Cost of Caring for One Cow
| ItemMonthly Cost | |
| Green fodder (grass, hay, silage) | Rs 800 |
| Dry feed (straw, bran, pulses) | Rs 600 |
