In the first year of a plan to establish a large gaushala in every municipal corporation, particular attention has been given to Ujjain, Indore, Bhopal, and Gwalior. Yadav expressed satisfaction that all gaushalas are functioning effectively under the oversight of sages, and he extended his wishes to everyone for a happy Govardhan Puja.
