The Haryana Gau-Seva Aayog Act, 2010
This statute establishes the Haryana Gau-Seva Aayog, a statutory commission dedicated to the welfare, protection, and preservation of cows in the state of Haryana. It applies to state departments, law enforcement, local authorities, and non-governmental institutions like gaushalas involved in cattle care. The Act regulates the commission's constitution, financial management, supervision over cow welfare organizations, and enforcement of anti-slaughter laws. It matters because it provides a centralized legal framework for managing stray and abandoned cattle, promoting indigenous breeds, fostering organic farming initiatives using cow bi-products, and delivering emergency fodder support during natural calamities.
