At present, protection and care of cattle in hilly areas like cities is becoming a challenging task. In the cities, cattle can be seen roaming on the streets in a deplorable condition. The situation is different in the mountains, where stray cattle mostly become the prey of tigers (leopards).The pious work of taking care of these cows is being done by some sensitive people of the society at the institutional and individual level. One such organization, Mr. Girish Kandwal, the founder of Dandamandal Craft Association Kimsar, Yamkeshwar, Pauri Garhwal, is also making an important contribution in the conservation of cow dynasty through the organization. In their Gaushala, cows are released from a wide area around, which are taken care of here with great devotion.At present there are more than fifty cows here. Every year many cows give birth and start giving milk. Such cows are given free of cost to the nearby villagers and most of them come back after that. At one time the number of cows here had increased to more than ninety. The Uttarakhand Satrudra Trust had decided to encourage organizations doing such work. When this Gaushala came to the notice of the trust, information was gathered and after approval, an installment of ₹ 5000/- cooperation amount was given to the said institution as cooperation.

His eyesight had gone.Now for the last few months Ravindra started having a problem in the other eye as well, due to which the vision of the other eye was also affected and gradually the vision was decreasing.

Suswa river from Mothrawala in Dehradun whose total irrigated area is about 15 kms. It is long, on one side of which there are about seven gram panchayats and on the other side there is Raja Ji National Park, which is a protected area for wildlife. Till 2000, this river, which used to be lifeline for this area, has become highly polluted today. The major reason for this is the "Bindal" and "Rispana" rivers of Dehradun, which now carry sewage, hospital waste, plastic and industrial waste from the entire Dehradun city and pour it into the Suswa river. The second reason is the lack of water coming from natural sources in the river, of which 80-90% of the water is used in the course of the river itself. Any river needs at least 40% "natural flow" to protect aquatic life and flora.The bad effect of polluted and toxic water can be clearly seen on the agricultural land, quality and yield of crops, ground water pollution, health of residents, domesticated cattle and wild animals of these villages. The side effects of pollution are evident from skin diseases on humans and increasing number of cancer and other patients in the area.
Our Trust launched a public awareness campaign, in which "Suswa Punarjeevan Sangharsh Samiti" was formed to give a working shape to the campaign by taking village heads and villagers of five villages, in which your trust will be active as a guide and technical partner.
It is necessary to mention here that once this area was the main production center of the world famous Basmati rice, which has now completely fallen prey to pollution.
