She sells cow dung products but not milk to save native cows of India

- Meet Aparna Rajagopal, a lawyer-turned-organic farmer and animal rescuer who has created a business from the dung of native Indian cow breeds. She runs Beejom, an animal sanctuary and an organic farm spread over 10 acres in Uttar Pradesh’s Gautam Budh Nagar district - a half-an-hour drive from New Delhi.
One of the unique features of Beejom is its gaushala or cattle shelter. When Rajagopal started the shelter, she decided to keep only cows indigenous to India.
The shelter currently has over 120 cows from 12 different native Indian breeds. Many of them were rescued. She follows a unique business model. She does not sell the milk of these cows but keeps it for the calves. Instead, she has created a business from their dung. She calls her enterprise ‘Dung Ho’.
Can selling just dung be profitable? Especially when the demand for A2 beta-casein laden milk from indigenous cows is growing every day?
But Rajagopal believes that her model is equally effective. The 120 cows on her farm excrete about 1,300 kilograms of dung every day. The dung is not sold raw, but is converted into useful products before being sold to customers.
One of the most interesting products made by Dung Ho are cow dung logs. These dung logs can be used to replace traditional wood or coal for burning. Burning of cow dung logs emit much less pollutants than burning wood.
Apart from dung logs, Beejom also makes and sells flower pots, oil lamps, statues of Indian gods and goddesses, puja kits, dung manure and bio pesticides. All these products are made of cow dung.
Dung of the indigenous cows is more suited for making these products as they contain more fibre than the exotic or cross bred counterparts.
Rajagopal says: “The idea behind creating these value-added products from dung is to generate resources so that these non-milch indigenous cattle can be preserved in a sustainable way”.
Can this model benefit small farmers? Can it generate extra income for them? Rajagopal believes that dung can add an extra layer of income for small farmers apart from fertilising their fields.
She is so passionate about the work she is doing. Her work is really appreciable.
@RED POLE how can you say such sharp words... Really baffled 🙄

Yes she is wonderful
I am a vet struggling to see cows sustenance at many goshalas and always eager about economical viability.
Wonderful and appreciable Aparna .
This little step towards cow conservation may become a big leap forward soon .
Sir...in UP and bIhar native breeds are at a much higher risk of declining because u like rajasthan and gujrat massive programs to save native breeeds do not exist
Brother can you please tell me what people do after cows become dry , I mean they stop producing milk
The pot idea won my heart, every nursery that I have seen uses plastic bag or pot for each plant.. That means for every plant we plant we produce one more waste. This is such a great solution..
Yh wonderful idea
And its also very good for replantation. A lot of plants tend to get damaged during replantation.
Indeed.
Yes and so many of those cement pots that break easily
But exploiting cows for milk is the core concept of this buisness.
This is by far the most humane and form of farming.a total justice to nature. The cow dung log ideas must be promoted because it can save lot of trees. The pot idea is also fantastic.
And huge respect for You for feeding calf's with there mother's milk. I feel justice is served here. Definition of a lawyer
Love and respect ❤️ ✌️👍
From Kerala
Me too👍🏻
This lady is so passionate. She's inspiring. Kudos n respect.
Cows are rescued and free, calves getting stomach full milk and love from the mother...They are not commodified...They are treated well..They are not burden for anyone..It's great initiative..I love this video...
Hats off to you . Appreciate your thoughts and acts
A very good initiative to utilise the waste to it's optimum use.
Wish all success.
Cow dung never waste in India its always useful and medically valued in Indian culture, last 20-30 years used less
I am not hindu, i am naturist, but this is amazing money but also giving back to mother earth that human is doing 100s of year just take take take... and so thankful, hopefully one day i would meet her, because people like her educated that are modern yet close to earth and ground is gems that are rare to find. My heart broke when she said that no body cares about the animals that are useless in business... i my heart broke.,..... hats off madam, for taking the risk and showing people it is possible to earn from something that is not many actually think is usefull... you are a creator.
How lovely it is to stand in the greened desert. =) lovely lovely
Vechoor cow the smallest cow is from my state KERALA
Preserving our own indigenous cows is huge and great respect to them. I love those flowerpots which is the most environment-friendly products.

Shifting from other States is not a good idea but if Interested always you can go for New Set Up in that Particular State or District to Protect the Particular Extinct Breed. You are Doing a Good Job .
It's easier said than done...preservation mostly don't bring in lots of money and it's always hard for the farmers to make ends meet with low output cattles or even disease susceptible indigenous plants/crops...coming from farming family myself I can personally relate the hardships that farmers go through...farmers don't make much money while middleman have monopoly over prices and they give the lowest price possible and all hard work in vain...
Moments are rare when our hearts resonate when we watch or get to listen few things . That happened to me while watching this video .
God bless this lady with long healthy happy life..
आप भारत की गायों को बचा रहे है । यह एक बहुत अच्छी बात है ।
You are saving the native cows of Bharat . It is very good .
Dung logs ! great way to reduce cutting down of trees. Bravo!
Burning wood or cow dung, both are equally bad for the environment.
Of course
In villages. We still very commonly use dried dung -upale- for cooking heating and in cremation also. Other very common use is--FERTILIZER. Famer doesn't waste any of his produce or byproducts. He works so hard for it. He knows the utility of each and Everything around him by experiences and learned and acquired wisdom of thousands of years. Still what this lady is doing is much appreciable for urban novices front know any of this and village folks are disheartened of farming--ALL OVER THE WORLD.
naveen chaudhry these city morons using gobar as insult don’t know that their expensive organic food that they crave to buy comes from that gobar manure only
@@xiominanda2956 so is increase cow population for dung.
We need more inviormentalist like her, she's simply amazing more power to her. ❤️
It's good to hear someone is saving india owned cow's breeds. Thank you very much mam
You are brilliant! Such an amazing initiative - bravo from Canada 🇨🇦!
Haven't come across such a fantastic eco-friendly idea ever More power to you, Aparna!
She forgot to tell about "gao mutr" but the bottles are there. Yes u can also sell "gao mutr" to "hindu bhagt".
@@tonalddrump5732 fertilizer industry already use it very effectively.
I am from Bangladesh. She is an intelligent woman ❤Love and respect for her ❤
I started watching with some skepticism and amusement but I was blown away by the end. Brilliant and positive lady she is. I hope she achieves even more.
Thanks a lot for protecting Desi cows. I would love to donate to protect Indigenous cows of Bharat🙏
Amazing. We need people like her in India. Respect!
This needs to be broadcast globally. Such eco friendly and energy efficient ideas. Love the cows being kept for dung and not milk 😃 Fantastic work. Thank you Aparna. You’re a gem 🙏🏼
That's wonderful Aparna! Well done...
How you soothing a indigenous breed cows and nurturing very carefully and using waste as gold . Cow is god we all know that you prooved and serving it well .hats off mam for your efforts.
Fantastic work!!!! I absolutely love this. I have little cows similar to these in the USA and I use their cow dung also. This was very inspiring.
Great going Aparna, Loved your amazing story..........an eye-opener to many of us......God Bless your initiative and may it be an inspiration to many of us to emulate "The Joy of Giving".
Wow! I love your Ideas and what you are doing. I used to live in South India near to kumbakonam back in the late 60s and early 70s. I was working with a volunteer program at that time. Today I am retired living on my farm in East Tennessee. I love India very much and plan to travel back again when this virus is over next year. This is an incredible idea that you have and I wish you the best of luck with it and hope that it grows and expands throughout India. If I make a trip back next year I would love to see your operation.
What lovely little cows! I love dwarf cattle and these ones are so perfect!
So proud of you ma'am, may your mission reaches and teaches everyone.
We need more personalities like you, ma'am..
Great work..
I would love to have a few of those dwarf cows ,well done for keeping them going
You will just take them to your western countries and make mcdonalds and burger king meat out of them. Its a good thing Government of India forbids export of our native Indian indigenous cow breeds. We have to be grateful for the cow as it an engineering marvel - natures greatest engineering gift to us mankind, as it gives us milk and in this video you can see the greatness in the dung
They would be great in Texas, because they are used to heat. They would be lovely as house cows for small homesteading families, that don't want to have an over production of milk.
I have few,
@@nikhilp8838 India is one of the largest exporters of beef. Haha.. Your government enjoys alot of taxes on beef exports..
@@MrsMika This is exactly what I was thinking. I like goat meat, but not a big fan of goat milk and cheese. A small cow bread like this would be great for the homestead!
You are Down to Earth mam. Yes we have to create value add to the agricultural products. You are already doing it. Let more farmers get inspired by you. We are from Agricultural background family. I wish very good luck for your future endeavours. I am from Bangalore.
Thank you Amma ,
How to thank u
Ur giving older cows also respected life 🙏
This is inspiring! Thank you for putting your time and efforts in preserving and developing the native cow species.
I am an organic farmer near Bangalore and am so proud of what you are doing. Would like to visit one day.
You just made my year 2020. This is the best thing ever happened. You should teach those people who says we don’t have enough jobs. I don’t know how much in India it will be famous but you will be super start outside of india. I live in USA and I love gardening and this is the best idea I ever heard. You should be very famous. Keep up your good work and recycling ideas 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You are doing a great job Madam... All cows deserve to be treated this way... Dairy must be abolished.. Artificial breeding of cows must be stopped.. They must not be slaughtered.
That's why the rich are not in this business, because its not economical.
Yes. The best way to save the environment,the cows,pigs,chickens and save our health is by being vegan

The so-called 1st world countries have a great deal to learn from you! The way these cows are treated properly is just a pleasant to watch. Unlike the “Dairy is scary” documentary from the west. Thank you for your creativity, and sharing it on RUclips. 🙏❤️🤗
Exactly
India also has a lot to learn from her. Watch "the unholy cattle of India" and "deadly dairy"
Cow meat and milk are delicious 😊
Much respect for you lady 🙏🙏
Really impressed with your work 👍👍
I am so glad to see someone letting the calfs drink mother's milk 🙏 and not milking cows for business.
Very compassionate 👌👌
Your entire business model is so good for ecology, animals and environment.
Way to go !!
More power to you 👍👍
She do work hard
Amazing lady, cows milk should be for cow baby calves .
👍 nature and natural things should be the priority.
Thats why indian peoples started to raise foreign cow breeds, to get milk instead of cowdung....... The main purpose of cows is to yield milk please dont forget that........ What is the use if india become the number one producer of cow dung in the world!!!!😐🙄
But, the demand for A2 milk is very high because a2 milk has good minerals than A1 milk from hf or jersey cows.And also, A1 milk is very dangerous to the human health, especially for children.
And Krishna...aka The Supreme personality of Godhead.

Awesome way for the parallel village economy and to preserve the indigenous cows wherein shift from dairy to dung
This is great work , you are saving a breed from extinction,
I love how there are initiatives for us to return to old practices for betterment of our lives
Hi Avinash, I was reading the comments here (What an amazing woman and brilliant ideas) and came across your name and it brought up some great memories of my childhood and friends. One of my friends has the same first and last name as you, it made me smile. I just wanted to let you know. Best wishes.

It's really very very inspiring...Mrs. Aparna Madam has really set an extraordinary example of great work on how we can uplift the village economy... It's a great opportunity for village folks...Hats off to your great achievement...
Wonderfull ...idea and execution of those idea in commercial way. Congratulation ..👍👍
You are a real scientist 🙏
This is just not video on You tube but Documentry in itself, Hindu shastra is so powerful, that for us Cow is lakshmi or Goddess. We Indians should stop milk from
Jersey cows. Salute Madam.
Congratulations.... You are doing a great job.. the fact that the calves get stomach full milk from their mothers makes me so happy
I can see how Happy she is talking about this. I hope it grow more and if i get the chance I'll choose this product.
This video should be screened in all the villages of our country and create employment out of it,,, Great N noble work by Aparna ji🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome utilization madam, our country needs ppl like u !!
And regarding cremating may be we can move for better option like burying ?
I too appreciate to the core of my heart .
Love you ma'am from Tamizhnadu
This is an example how real passion and devotedness is capable of creating divine solutions.
you are truly inspiring Aparna ji... I hope ppl start thinking about animals and nature like you do ...thank you for making such an informative video
Madam...
You are a role model for your sincere service towards cows. Remarkable idea.😚🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hats off ur effort to restore the nature in a highly industrialised world
Must read once for the environment🙏
The main causes of climate change are:
Humanity’s increased use of fossil fuels - such as coal, oil and gas to generate electricity, run cars and other forms of transport, and power manufacturing and industry
Deforestation - because living trees absorb and store carbon dioxide
Increasingly intensive agriculture - which emits greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide
1. meat 15% greenhouse gas emissions.
2. 77% of agricultural foods are used in the meat industry
3. There is a lot of water waste in the meat industry.
So overall the biggest enemy of the environment. Non-veg eater. and Unknowingly dairy products Because most companies sell cows and buffaloes. Later, they sells meat and things made from them in the market. And still people are not understanding the cycle of nature. Educated, but cannot see the truth. And there is extreme lack of emotions. About nature. Stop killing creatures. The virus is teaching something. Just do it enough.
And how many viruses and diseases have come from animals to humans, think something
Data and research source - ourworldindata.org/
Be vegetarian / vegan and save the environment. Add as much tree-based food to your diet.
We have to promote more and more environment friendly business. And in farming also we should end chemical farming. And start promoting traditional farming and seeds. Stop subsidizing chemical farming.
Renewable energy should get more subsidy and further research should be done so that it also does not waste any more in future. Implement Solid Waste Management across India. It should be added to education and management of waste and taught to children from there.
We should also introduce a carbon credit scheme in our country. So that whatever pollution is done, give carbon credit to the government. And it should be supervised before the Supreme Court. Along with this they also came under the Right to Information
Also oppose a poor draft like eia draft 2020. Also, the export of beef and meat etc., which we are going up, is also the biggest reason for pollution. Due to such useless law, floods occur in places like Bihar and Assam etc. Chemical factories spread poison in cities. The reason for this is also such a weak law.
I also tell you the side of religion in it. religion is not against nature. All religions also talk about nature, so you think that now one who goes against nature will be against the values of religion. Do some thinking and study honestly from all sides. 🙏
Beyond taste, think about this nature, about animals, about their suffering, do not do anything that goes against nature. If you study in religion and you will know yourself. This permission is given and you are also given discretion. Religion is allowed according to the time and situation, but you have made it mandatory without understanding it.

I have no words to express ma'am . I love your idea of dung pots.
There are so many farmers who are rain dependent..
Pl share this with those people who can at least survive and make ends meet

We are in Tamilnadu, In Tamilnadu there is one small cow available ...we called "Punganur Cow"...only 3 feet to 3.5 feet.
Stop converting people please. Let them remain who they are.
Wonderful. Aparna is a wonderful human being. Thank you
She doing a great job thank you ma'am
Excellent idea.. amazing products...this knowledge must be used by every farmer of India so that cows n environment will be protected. Aparna ..you being a lawyer could think of having training centres or programs for farmers all over India. Government of India must recognise this brilliant idea n make a rule that farmers must have this kind of training to improve the economy as well as save gomatha n mother earth. Thanks Aparna to make me feel that somewhere people are trying sincerely to save our gomatha n mother earth.🙏🙏🙏 Great job!!! Keep it up...

amazing ...hats off to Aparna ! Thankyou Downtoearth for the information.
It's really inspiring to see someone work so passionately for indigenous breeds of India and for looking ways in which marginal farmers can benefit.
Nice work. Keep it up.👍🏻
My grand mother used cow dung to heat water for bathing....we had cow at my home....
95% of us have done this. Nothing new buddy.
You don’t even have enough money to buy a water heater. And Indians still say that they are rich and can compete with superpowers like China and America. Using cow dung to heat up your bath water. Ffs
@@Fish-ey9lt we have electric grinder and still my mum and grandmother choose to use the stone ones to do the work. Learn to respect other's choices.

Aparna ji, could you help in setting up a similar set up in southern part of India
Definitely I agree or she can make a team with govt assistance to educate our village who rely on cows .
This can add up extra revenue.

Amazing, amazing, really thought provoking... Thanks, I feel it can exchange many more items that you have shown in this videos.
I really appreciate your work madam, kindly check the possibility to change wood pulp paper/Cardboards to cow dung mix, may it cannot fully change the use of trees but may have significant reduction in the use of normal wood.

A gentle reminder madam, there is a dwarf breed called PUNGANUR. This is native to chittor / vellore districts of Andhra pradesh, Tamilnadu.
BTW abishekam to tirupati Balaji is done with this milk.
HATS OFF MAAM. India needs such entrepreneurs like you. The work you do is hundred percent GOOD. KEEP IT UP.
Focusing on indigenous cow breeds and generating revenue from cow dung products is great thing to see. No one would have thought about this but these guys showed this in reality. This shows how generation of revenue form non milk products could be done while protecting native breeds of cows, which are disappearing rapidly.
I hope this will encourage others and be replicated elsewhere. Thank to DTE team for such useful and unique content 👍👍
Beyond amazing. Not only u need heart to help, u need the mind too, to sustain that help. Aparana u r doing piooneering work!! Who cud imagine products off dung ?? That dung log is a wonder product - this should scale to help reduce deforestation. When cow is considered sacred in India, how come not ath coming off it wud b sacred? It cud help sustain them and their caretaker.
Aparnaji, I remember by grand mother making the buffalo dung patties that are mixed with rice husk. This patties are used for cooking. May be an experiment can be done to check it's calorific value. After this patties are burnt, the next day morning, this are used to clean teeth. I still remember cleaning teeth when I was around 8 years, it had a very clean feeling.
Excellent suggestion!....

Madam, I have no words to express how innovative you are. God bless you immensely. The statement that 'cows have life beyond milk', is superb. The former CM of Karnataka Sri Siddaramaiah, has recently said, what can we do with old cattle, because Karnataka is bringing ban on cow slaughter. I think Smt Aparna Rajagopal is the answer for this, having proved that it is not milk, but cow dung, which gives additional income much more than milk since she is supporting indigenous breeds of cattle. Kudos. Kudos, Kudos.
