Akhil Bharat Krishi Goseva Sangh
Akhil Bharat Krishi Goseva Sangh plays a pivotal role in overseeing the implementation of animal welfare laws in Maharashtra. A trustee from the organization serves on the Legal Committee and Slaughter House Inspection Committee at the Animal Welfare Board of India under the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, and Dairying, ensuring compliance with regulations. Additionally, the organization is part of the Supreme Court-constituted Border Management Committee, advising on live animal-related crimes along Indian borders.
Dedicated to animal welfare and environmental protection, the Sangh actively engages in legal advocacy, research, and awareness initiatives. It has significantly contributed to shaping India’s Animal Preservation Laws, including the landmark 2005 Supreme Court ruling upholding Gujarat’s ban on cow progeny slaughter. Its advocacy efforts have influenced similar laws across multiple states.
Beyond implementation, the organization plays a crucial role in policy formulation, working closely with lawmakers to frame regulations that safeguard cattle wealth, natural resources, and the environment. It actively protests policies detrimental to ecological balance, sustainable agriculture, and indigenous livestock protection.
Through petitions, legal interventions, and public awareness campaigns, the Sangh ensures that government policies align with the principles of environmental conservation and ethical treatment of animals.
Recognizing the interconnectedness of India’s agricultural heritage and cattle wealth, the organization promotes Jal-raksha (water conservation), Van-raksha (forest protection), Bhu-raksha (land conservation), and Pashu-raksha (animal welfare). Its success is built upon the unwavering support of legal experts, NGOs, volunteers, ministries, donors and well-wishers.
