Karnataka Cabinet Nod to Ban Cow Slaughter

After its firm stand against Bt -brinjal, Karnataka Government led by Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa took another bold step to Ban Cow Slaughter in Karnataka.

The State Cabinet on Wednesday 10th February 2010 has approved a new law to ban the slaughter of cows and calves and ensure cattle conservation.

The Bill, which is set to replace the Karnataka Prevention of Cow Slaughter and Cattle Preservation Act, 1964, is expected to be tabled in the next session of the legislature.

The Cabinet had constituted a subcommittee under the chairmanship of Home Minister V.S. Acharya to study the drawbacks in the existing law and suggest measures to be incorporated in the proposed Act.

The new legislation will be in accordance with the Central Act and in conformity with Article 48 of the Constitution.

Briefing presspersons on the decisions taken at the Cabinet meeting at Bangalore, Dr. Acharya and Law Minister S. Suresh Kumar said that the new legislation would have guidelines for the transportation of cattle, apart from stern punishment for offenders.

First-time offenders will be liable to a year in prison and a fine between Rs. 25,000 and Rs. 50,000. Those held for a second offence or more will have to face imprisonment of up to seven years and pay a fine between Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 1 lakh.

Dr. Acharya said that the judgments of courts in various cases pertaining to cow slaughter and transportation of milch animals had suggested that the law should be in consonance with the provisions of the Constitution. “The larger aim of the new Act is to bring in an effective mechanism and enforcement to curb cow slaughter.”

Infact, 7 Member Constitution Bench of Supreme Court of India has upheld the Ban on Cow Slaughter in the year 2005 itself by its Verdict delivered on October 26, 2005. interested can go through this historical Judgement by clicking the image here.

Several Organisations had continuously demanded the ban on Cow Slaughter in Karnataka. Shree Raghaveshwara Bharathi Swamiji of Shree Ramachandrapura Math, Hosanagar in Karnataka had launched nationwide Gou Grama Yathra recently which got the widespread support from all quarters of society, irrespective of caste, creed and political parties.

He had also setup a Cow Dung and Cow Urine Factory, first of its kind in the entire Nation at Malur in Kolar, Karnataka, with the help leading industrialists. Apart from manufacturing various useful products from Cow Dung and Cow Urine, this factory produces Electricity also along with Bio Gas.

Thanks to Karnataka Government for its bold step in protecting farmers and their backbone i.e. Cows and Bullocks.

Chalk out Programme to Rejuvenate Soil

Chalk out Programme to

Rejuvenate Soil

Do you think, Jeevamruta, organic fertilizer prepared as per the direction of Subhash Palekar will help to rejuvenate the soil in flood affected areas?

Recently, more than 30,000 people from Sarvajna Nagar and Bytarayanapura Assembly Constituency of Bangalore urged the Karnataka Government to Ban Cow slaughter and to make use of Jeevamruta, organic fertilizer made out of Cow Dung and Cow urine in flood affected areas to rejuvenate the soil which became salty due to heavy rains.

Experts say that there are about 100 crore microbes in one gram of Soil. And stomach of Cow is sea of microbes. One Gram Dung of Local breeds or Deshi Cow (Indian Cows) contains 200 to 500 crore microbes. When mixed, microbes of Cow Dung and Soil support each other and start multiplying.

Some scientists say soil has no life. But really it is not so. Microbes in the soil made it alive one.

Hundreds of farmers used this Palekar method in their fields and succeeded in increasing the the yield.

Hence it is high time to make use of this system to rejuvenate the soil in flood affected areas. And Government should chalk out a plan to feed the Jeevamruta to to soil in flood affected areas at least once in 15 days, till next rainy season, so that it will rejuvenate with full of microbes by next cultivation time.

Thousands urge Ban on Cow Slaughter: Use 'Jeevamruta' to Rejuvanate Soil

Use 'Jeevamruta' to Rejuvanate Soil

Thousands urge Ban on Cow Slaughter

More than 30,000 people from Sarvajna Nagar and Bytarayanapura Assembly Constituency of Bangalore urged the Karnataka Government to Ban Cow slaughter and to make use of Jeevamruta, organic fertilizer made out of Cow Dung and Cow urine in flood affected areas to rejuvenate the soil which became salty due to heavy rains.

A Citizens Delegation of the above said areas submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, through Home Minister Dr. V.S. Acharya on Friday 16th October 2009, which was signed by more than 30,000 people.

Memorandum explained that rejuvenation of soil before next cultivation season is very important as most of the soil beame salty due to floods. There is no wonder if affected farmers try to use chemical fertilizers to improve the soil condition which will harm the soil further.

At this juncture need of the hour is to take some action to improve the soil condition to get good crops next year. Jeevamrut is simple and cheaper organic fertilizer and this could be prepared in the flood affected areas itself after collecting cow dung from various parts of state in the form of donation or through purchase. Such programme will provide employment at least to some flood affected people.

Dr. V.S. Acharya promised the delegation that Government will take action to protect cows shortly. In fact, draft bill has been already prepared and it will be passed soon, he said.

Marappa Alasoor, Thimmegowda, Govinda Rao, Dr. Raja Ram Prasad, Kamala, Muniraju, Vardhaman Jain, Muniraj Karnik and other prominent leaders were there in the the delegation.
