About us
Shri Sham Gaurakshan Dham Charitable Trust, Dhad — a registered public trust devoted to gau seva, environmental protection and service to people.
Our story
Started at Dhad in Buldhana district, the Dham is today home to many abandoned, sick, elderly and non-milching cattle. Shri Eknath Shamrao Daud and his companions took a vow to serve the cow, and the trust was registered with the Charity Commissioner on 9 April 2018.
Today the Dham is more than a gaushala — free water-tanker service during drought, free vaccination camps across villages, tree plantation with Green India Mission and annadan for the needy all run from here.
Mission
To give every abandoned and sick cow fodder, water, treatment and a life of dignity.
Vision
A compassionate Buldhana where no cow goes hungry, thirsty or untreated.
