An old cow costs more to keep and returns nothing measurable, which is exactly why she is abandoned. Worn teeth make coarse fodder hard to chew, joints stiffen, and illnesses that a young animal shrugs off become serious.
Care at this stage is unglamorous and continuous: softer feed, more frequent veterinary checks, bedding that protects thin hips, shade in summer and cover in winter. A monthly seva is the only realistic way to fund it, because the need does not come in one-time bursts.
How Your Seva Is Used
Your monthly contribution goes towards the feed, medicines and nursing of the senior cows at Punya Gaushala, including the softer diet and extra bedding they need. Every rupee is recorded in the Punya app.
