For the mother who never stops giving.”
For years, the desi cow nourishes us with her milk, enriches our soil, sustains our farmers, and blesses our homes with peace and purity. But when her strength fades and her milk slows, she is too often abandoned, injured, or pushed toward slaughter. At Manpho Foundation, we refuse to let her suffer. We rescue, rehabilitate, and shelter vulnerable cows, offering them the love, protection, and dignity they deserve.

Gaupatra functions on a regenerative, humane, and economically sustainable ecosystem that connects Gaushalas, farmers, consumers, and nature into one unified cycle.
Our approach emphasizes:
• Scientific nutrition + traditional wisdom
• Zero-waste, circular agriculture
• Livelihood generation through Panchagavya entrepreneurship
• Transparency in every process—from fodder supply to product sales
• Deep cultural reverence for cows as nurturers of rural life
By integrating modern systems with Bharatiya parampara, Gaupatra ensures that every cow is cared for, every farmer empowered, and every Gaushala strengthened.

Across India, thousands of Gaushalas face mounting financial challenges in maintaining the health, nutrition, and dignity of cows—especially non-milking and aged ones. These sacred animals, deeply woven into India's cultural and spiritual fabric, often suffer from neglect due to lack of resources. Manpho Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Manpho Group, has always been committed to causes that promote sustainability, compassion, and cultural preservation. Gau Patra is our answer to this crisis—a transformative initiative designed to protect India's sacred cows while creating a circular model of sustainability.
