Gaushala is the Concept of Cow Protection and Habitat Conservation. In Sanskrit the word 'Gaushala' literally means cow protection or the place where cows are sheltered. Other Sanskrit names for the cow are Go-mata (mother cow), Kamadhenu (wish fulfilling), and Aghnya (never to be killed).

Shri Sai Sansthan Samiti, Satna Gaushala (shelter home) was established April 2007 . Initially the Gaushala was started with 25 cows on 2 acres. Now we have around 132 cows in Gaushala. Maintaining what we have is depends mostly on hard work and proper management. Our investments have been by personal sacrifice and a help from our friends, symphathisers and cow protectors who, although unable to personally raise and protect cows, see the necessity for cow protection and are willing to lend a helping hand.

Facilities we have:

• Gaushala is running on 2 Hectare land but we have only developed only 2 acres of the total land.
• Tin shed covered with weed and hay to protect more than 132 cows and calves.
• We have three cemented water container for drinking water facility to the rescued animals.
• We have a tractor, a tanker on hire basis to carry water and a trolly to carry fodder for cows; purchased with the support of individual donors.
• Two rooms are constructed for the Gopalks, the care takers of cows.
• We avail drinking water for cows from nearby village wells too; for this requirement most of the time we have to pay a big amount.
• We have taken grazing yards on rent.
• We have fodder cutting machine.
• We have employed 24 Gopalak and 7 volunteers to serve and take care of cows.
