Due to which the water of Yamuna river gets polluted. But under the joint initiative of Love You Foundation and Municipal Corporation, idols of Lakshmi, Ganesh, Hanuman and Shiva have been made from cow dung. Along with this, Shubh Labh, Bandhanwar, cow dung lamps and many other such products which will enhance the beauty of your home. Which are being prepared and sold to the people.
Campaign of Municipal Corporation and Love You Zindagi Foundation
Earlier, on the festival of Holi, many products were prepared from cow dung by the Municipal Corporation and Love You Zindagi Foundation. Which people bought in large numbers and took to their homes. This time again many products have been prepared for the festival of Diwali. Prankur Jain, member of Love You Zindagi Foundation, says that the biggest advantage of all these products made from cow dung is that they do not harm the environment in any way. After the worship, when you want to immerse these idols. So for that you do not even need to go to Yamuna river. You can keep these products in pots or beds at home. Due to which it will dissolve in water and will act as fertilizer for the plants in your pot.
He told that Kanha Gaushala is being run by the Municipal Corporation. And in this cow shed, many products are made from cow dung. About 5 to 6 artisans do this work every day in the cowshed. Our aim is that people who earn financial benefits from cow milk. They leave the cow after about four-five years if it does not produce milk. Will not do this now. Because they can earn more money by making and selling such products prepared from cow dung than what they earn from milk.
