The training and examination of the Advanced Diploma in Panchgavya Therapy (ADPT) were successfully concluded at the Panchgavya Vidyapeetham Extension Centre, Rajnandgaon, operating under the guidance of Maharshi Vagbhatt Gau Sanvardhan evam Anusandhan Sansthan.
On the occasion, Institute President Radheshyam Gupta congratulated the trainees on successfully completing the course and encouraged them to emerge as qualified Panchgavya practitioners, cow-based organic farmers, and producers of indigenous and cow-derived products. He called upon the participants to restore the social and economic importance of the cow and to spread awareness about its utility among the masses.
Senior member Anand Srivastava said that the concept of self-reliance cannot be imagined without the cow and wished the trainees a bright future. Social worker and institute member Satish Chandele motivated participants to work towards the preservation of cows and the Chhattisgarhi language, stating that cow protection is only possible through widespread cow rearing and that household-level cattle rearing is essential for making India a global leader once again.
