1. Cow Based Economy

2. Introduction Traditionally basic fiber of the Indian Economy has been wovenaround the cow, carrying on farming and transport with bullocksand obtaining nourishing food from cow. "Why the cow was selected for apotheosis is obvious to me. Thecow was, in India, the best companion. Not only did she give milk,but she also made agriculture possible. products coming from aliving cow are thus considered pure and purifying for those whouse them. - Mahatma Gandhi In 1940s it was calculated that through its milk, bullocks, manure,hide and bone, the contribution of the cow to the wealth of Indiawas over Rs. 1,000/- crores annually, an amount which no otherindustry in India except agriculture could equal. Gandhijitherefore established Go Seva Sangh (association for lookingafter the cow ) to devote its attention on a countrywide scale tothe improvement of the condition of cattle in India. Was Gandhijiwrong then to draw our attention to this most important nationalindustry, and to show us the way to make it yield better results ? Indian rural life heavily depends on cattle for both happiness andeconomy, hence our objective of this course is to bring forward 3.

Tractor Farming Fantasy 1987 Study The secular cow economy Mr. V MVasuWe have nearly 40 crore acres under the crop. Toswitch this area over to mechanized farming, we shallneed 5 million tractors against which we have todayonly a meagre 31000. To make these tractors we willneed 30 mln tons of steel and our annual productionof steel is 4.5 mln. tons. And as we have during the last20 years made 12000 locomotives, 0.6 mln trucks andautomobiles, what a long span of time shall we need tomake the needed five million tractors?And from where the capital estimated to be Rs. 14000crores has to be raised. The annual depreciation of Rs.1400 crores apart from the required spare parts (capitaland steel for these) and the astronomical dieselconsumption needs to be accounted for to get thecomplete picture of the Tractor Farming Fantasy. 7.

Cow dung Manure A scientist in New Zealand had established on thebasis of Indian scriptures that cow horns filled withcow dung and buried on a specific date and takenout on another specific date could fertilize an entireacre without any other input. manure applications improve soil tilth, aeration andwater holding capacity decrease soil erosion potential and promotebeneficial organisms Source: http://www.indianexpress.com/oldStory/17108/ 9. Importance of Cow in Agriculture While ploughing, the oxen stride with gentle gait, not harming the surface of the earth, unlike tractors. Even as they plough the land, the oxen defecate and urinate, fertilizing the land. Cattle Manure : organic manure, green leaf manure, earth-worms, and slurry manure with cattle manure bond with the nature and make the land fertile. They do not create the challenge of chemical waste. 99% of the insects in nature are beneficial to the system. Insecticides prepared from cow urine or well fermented butter milk do not affect these helpful insects. Dung from one cow is adequate to fertilize 5 acres of land and its urine can protect 10 acres of crop from insects. 20-25 kgs of bio-fertilizer can be produced from one kg of cow dung by mixing it with biomass. The application of Urine resulted in a marked increase of grass growth and this did not effect soil quality. Source: Aoyagi Noojiro et- at Gumma Ken Nogyo, Skikenjo Hokokku 1974. Central Institute of Medical & Aromatic Plants, Lucknow 226015 10. Case Study-1 A plot was ploughed seven inches deep by the tractorimplement i.e. by the soil inverting plough followed by thecultivator and the harrow. Another similar plot was ploughedto a depth of four to five inches with the bullock plough calledVictory and supplemented with the local country plough. Theabove experiments were continued for a period of six yearswith these implements. It was found that with the tractorimplements i.e. with plough, cultivator and disc, the averageyield of wheat throughout this period was 10.98 maunds peracre, while with the Victory cum country plough thecorresponding average yield was 12.65 maunds per acre. Inthese experiments the manuring and other cultural treatmentswere the same for all the plots. This experiment clearlybrought out that the deep ploughing of the tractor is harmfulfor wheat cultivation. The tractor cultivation tends to pulverisethe soil too much. This encourages its packing after irrigationor a shower of rains. The air moisture relationship is thusdisturbed with the result that the crop suffers. Source: The cow in our economy by JC Kumarappa 11. Case Study - 2 Similar plots were taken. One of the plots was ploughed 9-10inches deep with tractor soil inversion plough in the first instanceand followed by normal cultivation with tractor implements toachieve a suitable seed bed for two crops, (1) Maize in kharifand (2) Wheat in Rabi. The Second plot was ploughed fiveinches deep with soil inverting plough drawn by bullocksfollowed by normal cultivation with the local country plough. A third plot was ploughed up to 4-5 inches deep with the localcountry plough without inversion throughout the season and thefourth plot was ploughed by tractor discs to depth of about fourinches. It was found that the deep ploughing with tractor gave anaverage yield of 37.44 maunds per acre of wheat while theshallow ploughing with tractor gave an average yield of 37.16mds. per acre of wheat. The highest yield was 40.23 mds. peracre when only the country plough was used. The use of bullocksoil inverting plough followed by local country. plough gave ayield of 39.97 mds. per acre. All the four plots were treated in thesame way as regards manures and other things. Thus we notethat the deep as well as shallow ploughing with tractor givescomparatively low yields while the highest yield is given by thecountry plough.

Fertilizer and Farmers 1987 - The secular cow economy Mr. V M VasuOur 400 mln. acres under agriculture will need(every season) 40 mln. tons of fertilizer. To producethese 40 mln. tons of fertilizers annually, how manybillions of rupees will be needed? One fertilizerfactory established in 1946 with a capital of Rs. 7crores is manufacturing about 2,75.000 tons offertilizers annually. On this basis, capitalrequirements to meet our 40 mln. tons needs maybe estimated. Further, the use of these fertilizercosts Rs. 90 per acre while the food grain produceattained is only 15 mds. meaning an additionalexpense of Rs. 6.00 per md. of food grain. And bythese fertilizers the agriculture is extra-burdened byAs. 36,000 min. Can the farmer bear the burden? 13. Transport - QuantitativeGood transport statistics. Transport by rails Transport by trucks Bullocks The cost impact of using the mechanized transport. Some analysis on decentralized approach. Wherethe food is grown and consumed locally ortransported to nearby towns and cities only usingnon-mechanized means like bullocks. 14. Irrigation Irrigation by huge dams is a folly. Wells are the only answer. But are weto fit pumps to these wells? If use pumps, we would need 100 mln. enginesand 20 min. engine rooms. These engine rooms would eat away fullyour entire years cement production as also iron sheets and steel in hugetonnage. And we are miserably short of all these commodities. Moreoverall these costs would be on farm produce. Now if we propose to usebullock-drawn Kosh (leather water lifters) for water drawing, no extracosts are added. The bullock will plough and irrigate the land, carryloads and give manure. Mechanized farming involving tractors, motorsand pumps, fertilizers and trucks for transport would add very heavily tothe costs so that the farmer will never be able to sell his products belowthe present prices and people can never hope for a relieved and easylife. 15. Importance of bullocks in transport 1987 - The secular cow economy Mr. V M VasuAgriculture and industrial production aggregates tomore than 1,000 mln. tons. This 1,000 mln. tons ofcommodities have to be transported from fields tofactories and from factories to the consuming centreswhich are spread over this vast areas, and the majorbulk of this transport is carried by the bullock. Fortransport we have 1.21 min. bullock-carts, 3,58,000railway wagons and 2,20,000 motor trucks. Obviously, ifthese 12.1 mln. bullock-carts were to be removed fromthe operation, our transport and distribution system, andas a result both agriculture and industries and theresultant national life, would be in a chaos, for thereason that the railway carries only 180 mln. tons andtrucks only 120 min. tons. whereas the balance 70 percent, or 700 mln. tons, is carried by the age old bullock-carts 16.

Strong reduction of egg laying of American bollworm moths.Study of plant growth promoting effect of bio-pesticide (workdone by Dr.C.S.Nautiyal et al, NBRI, Lucknow) Study showed significant increase in the shoot length, rootlength and plant biomass, which is an indication of theexcellent plant growth promoting effect of bio-pesticidetreatment on the growth of maize. 18. Why our social and economic life isdisorganized? 1987 - The secular cow economy Mr. V M Vasu Per capita milk consumption in America is 5 lbs. while in Britain it is 2 lbs. The British Medical Council has prescribed minimum two and a half pounds of milk per man for him to keep physically fit. Provision of two and a half pounds of milk per capital four our people, would need 1250 m.lbs. of milk per day. To obtain this quantity of milk we would need 62.5m. milk cows and an equal number for dry period replacements averaging 20 lbs per cow. However against our need of 125 m. cows we have today 54 m. cows and 49 m. heifers. Most of the 54 m. cows give less than 3 lbs. milk a day and possibly less in the case of about 80% of the cows. Because of this reason along their slaughter is unwarranted; and if they are slaughtered the entire social and economic life of the country would be disorganized and in a mess. If these 40 m. cows are slaughtered, then crores of Rupees worth milk powder and condensed milk shall have to be imported annually for our children, pregnant women and the sick only. Higher prices may be demanded in our such dire need and moreover we shall yearly lose 65 m. tons of cow dung. A life of 15 years for such cows would result in a loss 19. Ghee Vs Vegetable Oil 1987 - The secular cow economy Mr. V M VasuInstead of pure ghee, if we were to provide Vanaspati ghee therequirement would be 255 mln. ounces or 6975 tons per day.Today we produce 1000 tons. (Here we do not propose to gointo its demerits on human health and consider it only from itseconomic aspects). Our dehusked groundnut production is 4min. tons which quantity if fully crushed would give 1 .6 mln.tons of oil. (Of course we do not crush entire production ofgroundnut). To get this daily production of 1000 tons ofvegetable ghee we use 375000 tons of the oil annually. To getdaily 6975 tons of vanaspati we would need 2.6 mln. tons of oilannually. For this purpose only 9.7 min. tons of groundnut willhave to be harvested and the area under groundnut crop willhave to be increased six times. The result would be so muchless acreage for food grains. The loss of food grains on accountof this six fold acreage under groundnut would be of such amagnitude that the deficit cannot be made up with any largescale means of whatever nature. Then again the transportproblem arise. These 9.7 mln. tons of ground have to betransported from fields to oil mills and more than two and a half 20. Health Cow Provides Emotional stability Panchgavya is said to be a cure for all diseases. Mid wives in Indian villages had been using cow dung fomentation topregnant women, small babies and women who had just delivered babies. Cow urine and dung was always pure, toxin destroyer, germicide, balancesbile, mucous and air (kapha, vata, pitta), Cow milk has amino acids which makes its protein easily digestible and isgood for kidney rich source of Vitamins like B2, B3 and A which help increasing immunity help in reducing acidity, chances of peptic ulcer, breast and skin cancer,formation of serum cholesterol, check obesity Control diabetes but has good sugar for diabetic patients one of the best natural anti-oxidants. Cow urine contains many minerals especially Copper, gold salts, etc. Itcompensates for bodily mineral deficiency. Cow urine is called medhya and hradya, which means it, gives strengthto brain and heart. protects heart and brain from damages caused by mental tension andprotects these organs from disorders and diseases.http://www.vishwagou.org/AyurvedicbyJayakrishna.htmA.Subramaniam, MD CDCMPU.

Fuel Thoughtless use of wood and coal as fuel has result in depletionof jungles,; producing water shortage. it is unlikely that tractors, petrochemicals and even nuclearpower will ever replace the simple bull and cow Fuel through bio-gas from cow dung Cow Dung cake burned to provide heat for cooking. And Cow-dung cake ash becomes a very good fertilizer, also used forfood storage for long duration. Indian cattle excrete 700 million tons of manure annually, halfof which is used as fertilizer to maintain the soil. The rest isburned to provide heat for cooking. It was estimated that cattledung provides Indian housewives with the thermal equivalent of"27 million tons of kerosene, 35 million tons of coal, or 68million tons of wood."Statistics for non-renewable sources saved by using cow dungas fuel source. Energy saved in transportation by bullocks. Generation of bio-gas from cow dung and urine is a very simplecost-effective way of producing energy for lighting as well ascookinghttp://dahd.nic.in/ch6/chap6.htm 23. Fuel For 70% population of India in villages, kerosene, gas or electricity is neitheravailable nor within the villagers means. Gas, electricity, kerosene and coal arecostly. Economic and easily available fuel is cow dung cakes and firewoodFor such fuel requirements we would further need 200 m. cows, and if thesecows were to give us 5 lbs. of milk, a lb. per capital supply can be assured. This milk supply would save 5 ounces of food grains per head, annual savingbeing 18.55 m. tons. Cow-dung cake ash becomes a very good fertilizer. Essarkay Pharmaceuticals Ltd (EPL), has set up a Rs 100-crore project for massproduction of bio-gas from cow dung which would be sufficient to replace the LPGas cooking gas and CNG as auto fuel to a large extent. According to the UP Biogas Research Station, cow dung from one cow in a yearcould provide energy worth 225 litres of petrol.Source: http://dahd.nic.in/ch52/chap5.2.htm http://www.varnasrama.org/~anilsharma/glovesco.org/Secular%20Cow%20Economy.pdf http://www.financialexpress.com/news/essarkay-pharma-to-set-up-rs-100crore-biogas-project/77976/0> http://www.financialexpress.com/news/bottling-biogas-in-goshala/143781/0 24.

Environmental Protection Suryaketu: Nerve on cows back absorbs harmfulradiations and cleanses atmosphere India (30 crore cattle) can produce bio gas, that cansave 6.0 crore ton of firewood every year. This wouldarrest deforestation to that extent. Cow dung has antiseptic, anti radioactive and antithermal properties. When we coat the walls and cleanthe floors of house with cow dung, it protects thedwellers. In 1984, gas leak in Bhopal killed more than 20,000people. Those living in houses with cow dung coatedwalls were not affected. Atomic power centres in Indiaand Russia even today use cow dung to shieldradiation. When we offer ghee in fire as part of ritualisticsacrifices, it strengthens the ozone layer and shields the 26. Benefit and usage of cow dung By keeping one old cow or bull alive we can protect 6large trees per annum from felling. Dung available from one fully grown cow/ bull is around 5.4 tonnes per annum. so dry dung will be around 5.4. x 0.30 = 1620 kg per annum. This is equivalent to 712 kg of dry wood. This amount of wood comes from 6 large trees In Vedic culture there are 16 samskaras. These samskarasare ment to put a person in right state of consciousness ormind. In performing all the samskaras actually cow dung is required. 5000 6000 cakes can be made from one cows dung in ayear Cow dung cakes when burned are very good eco 27.

Cow: provides solution to housingproblem Villagers having lost their independent small trades and professions as aresult of mechanization, to escape from the increasing grip of shortagescreated by rationing, zonal restrictions and controls, rush to cities to earnbread. Deprived of any human facilities, their children either succumb to manysicknesses or, if they survive they add, to the growing anti-social elements.If this process is not checked in time a large section of such anti-socialroughs will form in the society endangering the very existence of thecultured and good and the entire Indian culture and religions would faceextinction. Choice of housing should be in consideration of time, financial reach of thepeople concerned, the circumstances and climate. we should adopt the practical and sensible way of providing cow dung-cum-mud dwellings. more suited to the climate, necessities, circumstancesand most important to the finances of the people of our country. Cementstructures demand repairs in about five years time while the garmati,dwellings need a fresh wash with the dung and earth carried out by theowner involving no monetary expenses.Source: 1987 - The secular cow economy Mr. V M Vasu 29. Mud-Dung House 1987 - The secular cow economy Mr. V M VasuHousing requirements of the country is 9.3 min. incities and 56.1 min in the rural area. To provide oneroom dwellings to the villages only would need 170min. tons of cement and our annual cementproduction is only 10 min. tons. We cannot wait forgenerations to build cement structures. This mud-dung dwellings would require dung of 6.30 mln.cows and with this the entire rural housingrequirements can be met and comfortably solved. 30. Fodder The difficulty experienced in feeding cows is due tothe fact that our agriculture is industry-oriented andnot food oriented, which means that instead ofmeeting human needs, the agricultural priorities aremade to serve industrial needs. Example Groundnut oil Vs Til Oil Man and Cows food interests are interdependentand correlated. 31. Groundnut Oil Vs Til Oil 1987 - The secular cow economy Mr. V M VasuGroundnut is sown in 2.40 crores of acres, yielding 16 lakh tons of oil. To get,this 16 lakh tons of oil til sowing needs only 60 lakh acres. But til oil cannotbe converted into vegetable ghee. Therefore, til is neglected by the farmerbecause the industrial consumer, the vanaspati ghee manufacturer would notbuy this, as also the farmer is encouraged by the Government to producegroundnut. In fact til sowing would not only create a surplus of 1 .8 croreacres of land for foodgrains, amounting to 45 lakh tons of excess food, butwould benefit soil, it not being deteriorated as in the case of groundnutcultivation. Further, til-oil-cake is the best food for cattle. In India riceeaters are about 16 crores as against 32 crores of wheat eaters. For thiswheat eating population 8 crores tons of wheat plus a further stock of 3crores tons for famine and war contingencies, totaling to 11 crores of tonshas to be provided for. To meet this tonnage, 16 crores acres have to beunder wheat (our present land under cultivation cover 40 crore acres). Thereis no alternative but to achieve the target. Huge dams and fertilizer factorieshave, instead of helping towards this target, actually retarded the progress.Therefore 16cr. acres should be allotted for wheat sowing only. Of these 32crores wheat-eaters about 6 crore are Jowar eaters, 3 crore Bajri eaters and5 crore maize eaters. Now jowar, bajri and maize are kharitf crops whilewheat is a Rabbi crop. Khariff crops will yield 5 crore tons of food grainsalongwith 140 crore tons of kadab (stalks). Immediately on harvesting kharifcrops gadab should be sown yielding 100 cr. tons. This gadab is also a goodfodder and dried gadab is a good fertiliser. The same land can then beutilised for wheat sowing, yielding 5 crores tons of wheat. 32.

Fodder Misconception Man does not get food from where to feed the cow? his argument is clearly misleading and false for the fact that mendo not eat grass and cows do not eat rice, dal and chapaties. Our food interests are interdependent and correlated. The difficulty experienced in feeding cows is due to the fact thatour agriculture is industry-oriented and not food oriented 63 crores cows will need 175 crore tons of grass and sowingjowar and bajri only we get a grass yield in excess of this need.Further by developing graze fallow lands an additional 100-150crore tons of grass can be made available. If the peoples needof one ounce edible oil is met 6.25 crore tons of oil-cake wouldbe available. Twenty-six Iakh tons of cotton seed is produced,lakhs of tons of jowar is produced and having procured sufficientmanure and bullock supply for farming our food grain productionwould rise threefold. With such huge food production the cattlefodder does not remain a problem at all. Along with this, becauseof superior quality, world markets would willingly pay higherprices for our food grains.Source: http://dahd.nic.in/ch52/chap5.2.htm http://www.varnasrama.org/~anilsharma/glovesco.org/Secular%20Cow%20Economy.pdf 35.

Biogas From Cow Dung 70 cows all are local breed Purpose of cow is to get manure and run biogas plant He is taking the milk form cow only of his personal use, rest ofmilk is given to the calves There are 6 bio gas plants on the farm capacity of each plantis 60 m3 volume of the pit. All the slurry(outlet from biogas plant) is finally going to thebig well, and the water from that well is lifted to sprinkle onthe nursery plants On farm there is setup of biogas engine generator(capacity10KVA) A big bio gas storage tank is kept in one room, its capacity isapproximately 140m3 He constructed very beautiful temple of Lord Dattatray on thefarm He also constructed bio gas storage tank of capacity of 28000m3 He is using vermi wash as fertilizer and herbicide A plant of vermi compost is in the farm to take care of organicfertilizer for the nursery and Mango trees. 37. Organic Farming Intercrop of fodder is done in between mango treesAlso sugar cane and corn is grown together only for thepurpose of fodderA special open room is used for the Agnihotra Yagya Yagya to please Sun god to provide enough sunsine Music therapy for plants is also implemented. On the farm there are 60 workers. Cow milk used for family use and for the calf only He constructed very beautiful office in the farm and he hadone Car and big Bungalow in his town He never took any subsidy from the government He says Anna Hazare did development in his village onlybecause of he got huge funds. Also he got the funds becausehe emotionally blackmailed government He said if one do scientifically organic farming then there isno need of pollyhouse(green house) to construct on the farm 38.

Experience of Mr. Suresh Waghdhare Crop insurance implemented by government isbogus and never helped the farmers 90% of girls do framing in villages if these girls getgood education then he feared that girls will nomore work on farm He says software industry is slaughter house ofcity people, because the people working in softindustry are severely diseased by many noncurable dieses There was corruption by government officials inselling vermicompost, he said the governmentofficials literally sell soil instead of vermicompostbecause they are not aware of technology ofvermicompost production 41. Experience of Mr. Suresh Waghdhare Working on farm is very difficult because every daythere is emerging new problem of labor, water, fodder,animal etc. Government is giving subsidy on different projects onfarm but all that subsidy goes to the farmers who areclose to politicians Policy makers in government authority are the peoplewho dont have any agriculture land, then how theycan understand the problem of farmer. Government is giving great help to BPL people sothey are reluctant to do work on farm. Instead theywork in hotel, bungalow etc. So he fears that onlymillionaire and BPL people can survive in coming futureand there is no future for middle class. He is saying the workers and his own family is alwayshealthy and never get any serious decease 42. Benefits of Homa Therapy HOMA is the technical term from the Vedic science of bio-energy denotingthe process of removing the toxic conditions of the atmosphere through theagency of fire. When Homa is performed, an atmosphere is created that is conducive forgrowing any crop An aura energy field is created around plants during Agnihotra Prana i.e. life energy emanates from Agnihotra which pulsates through usand connects with cosmos Tremendous amounts of energy are gathered around the pyramid atAgnihotra time A magnetic type field is created, one which naturalizes negative energiesand reinforces positive energies Thus plants become stronger and disease resistance 43. Benefits of Homa TherapyAll Nature comes back to Harmony Improves the immune system of all plantsMore Profit: Increased quantity and quality in production Reduced cost of labor Saving costs of agrochemicals The produce is superior in: taste size texture nutrition Prolongs the shelf life and makes produce more suitablefor export Increased number of harvests during the year, i.e.productive cycle is shortened 44. Experience of Mr. Suresh Waghdhare He had capacity to keep 5 lakh plants of mango onthe farm. Each plant he sell at the rate of Rs 35 for1 year plant and Rs 150 for 3 year plant He said if one do scientifically organic farming thenthere is no need of pollyhouse(green house) toconstruct on the farm He never took any subsidy from the government 45.

Prevention of Pathogenic Free Radicals through CowUrine Source: A.K. Singh, P.K. Singh, L.K. Singhal, D.K.Agarwal, College of Veterinary and Animal Science, Pantnagar, IVRI Izatnagar Free radicals are molecules, which have lost electron. These free radicals attack the nearest stable molecule and steal the electron. This is a chain reaction of destruction. They can attack enzymes, fat, proteins, etc and causes DNA to mutate. The Oxygen Free radicals (Reactive oxygen species) are produced due to Phagocytes, Mitochondria function, Inflammation, Heavy Exercise,Cigarettes,Smoking,Pollution, adiation, Chemicals, Drugs, Altered Ozone level, Moulds, Burned Meat. They cause mutation of cells. This in turn may predispose for Parkinsons Disease, Alzhimors Disease, Cancer, Sclerosis, Stroke, Stress, Fibrosis, Cataract, Macular Degeneration, Aging Cows urine prevents the free radicals formation. 61.

Damage of DNAby chemicals is the major cause for Cancer. This property reduces the spread of malignantcancers and helps fighting tumor.Apoptosis inhibition : Lymphocytes under go suicidal tendency due to chemicals.Lymphocytes are major cells, which fights against cancer cells. Cow urine reduces anapoptosis of Lymphocytes. Antioxidant Property : The volatile fatty acids show antioxidant properties which controlsdamage in DNA.Antimicrobial Activity : Many viruses are causing cancer. These microbes are killed by cowurine.Bioenhancing Property : Bioenhancing are substances which promote and augment thebioactivity or bioavailabilty or uptake of drugs. This will reduce the dosage & duration ofantibiotic therepy and anticancer drugs like Taxol.Taxol is used in MCF-7 (breast cancercells).Anti free radicals : The free radicals cause cell damage thereby inducing tumour cell 62.
