He was speaking at a programme organised to give awards to gaushalas.<\/p>\n<p>The recommendation for a gau mantralaya had been made by Swami Akhileswharand Giri, chairman of the executive council of the board, who enjoys the status of a cabinet minister.<\/p>\n<p>Chauhan said the board cannot have as much funds as an independent department, and thus it was limited in its scope of work. And therefore, a Gau Mantralaya would best help serving cows better. He suggested that citizens should also provide shelter to cows, adding that there can be a major difference if every house offers shelter to two to four cows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan wants the formation of a \u201ccow protection\u201d department \u2013 a Gau Mantralaya.
