Fodder Donation (Chara Daan): Feed Rescued Cows Every Day

Donor Benefits\n\n- Donation record in the Punya app\n- Punya Points for your seva\n- Daily Gaushala updates and videos\n- Complete transparency on how the amount is used\n\n## Why Chara Daan Matters
A cow eats every single day, whether or not donations arrive. Green fodder provides moisture and vitamins, dry fodder provides the roughage that keeps digestion healthy, and the two have to be balanced through the year as seasons change what is available.
Elderly and recently rescued cows need this most. Many arrive weak, underweight, or recovering from eating plastic and waste on the streets. Steady, clean feed is what brings them back to strength, and it is the simplest reason a rescued cow survives her first months in a shelter.
How Your Seva Is Used
Chara Daan contributions go to the Gaushala feed account and are spent on green and dry fodder, transport of feed to the shelter, and storage. Every rupee is recorded in the Punya app, so you can see the feed your seva paid for.

Frequently Asked Questions
12 questions, answered
What is Chara Daan?
Chara Daan is the offering of fodder for cows. Your contribution buys green and dry feed for the cows living at Punya Gaushala.
How much is the Fodder Donation seva?
The suggested contribution is ₹1,001, given as a one-time offering.
What is the difference between green and dry fodder?
Green fodder is fresh and provides moisture and vitamins, while dry fodder such as straw provides the roughage a cow needs for healthy digestion. Cows need both.
How many cows will my donation feed?
The amount is pooled into the shelter feed account rather than assigned to one animal, so it contributes to the daily feed of the whole herd.
Can I give fodder instead of money?
Yes, donations in kind are welcome. Please contact Punya NGO first so delivery and storage can be arranged.
Is this a one-time or monthly seva?
Fodder Donation is set up as a one-time contribution. Daily Roti Donation Seva is the monthly option if you prefer to give every month.
Who decides what the cows are fed?
The diet is planned with veterinary guidance and adjusted for elderly cows, recovering rescues and seasonal availability.
Will I receive proof that the fodder was bought?
Every rupee is recorded in the Punya app, and daily Gaushala updates and videos show the feeding itself.
Can supporters outside India offer this seva?
Yes. The Punya app accepts contributions from supporters living outside India.
Can I offer Chara Daan in a family member name?
Yes. Many supporters offer fodder seva in the name of a parent or elder, and you can add that name while contributing.
Can I visit the Gaushala at feeding time?
Visits can usually be arranged on request. Please contact Punya NGO in advance so a suitable time can be fixed.
What happens if more fodder is donated than needed?
Surplus is stored for the lean months before the monsoon, when green fodder is hardest to buy.
