Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The main infrastructure project to create a sanctuary is almost complete The charity has continued to support over 20 families suffering genuine hardship. This has included wages for tendering the cows and cultivating land with full meals provided whilst on duty and for provisions when off duty. Free healthcare is provided to all the workers and also to people in genuine need

A housing shelter is being used to provide food and accommodation to anyone homeless or elderly seeking such support and under this provision full amenities are provided for as long as they are needed. Medicinal veterinary care is provided for the purpose of nurturing stray and sick animals back to health. This has been mainly cows but there are now more peacocks/peahens and abandoned puppies requiring veterinary care and shelter. Sadly, many of the other centres previously offering such a service have declared themselves full and unable to support this project. As a result, the charity remains the sole provider for tendering sick animals especially cows Clean water provision continues to be extended to neighbouring towns and villages especially on days of pilgrimage when vast numbers of people descend upon the town. Young children are being sponsored at local and neighbouring schools which provide a more cultural and spiritual focus to mainstream education. Milk from the cows is being offered to the local temples for use in the daily worship and also to support young children.

There is a hope that the service can become self sufficient and to progress with that goal the temple project has been expanded to encourage visitors.

There is still consideration of developing a cow manure gas plant which will reduce the electrical and gas costs and allow surplus to be sold to neighbouring farmers and villagers. Detailed analysis of this project remains to be sought with a view to a long term natural and biodegradable energy supply. Sundar Gaumukh Foundation has also continued to support other charities focusing on the same objectives.
