Rajasthan CM Bhajanlal Sharma unveils Cow Service Policy 2026 to enhance cow protection, support farmers, and strengthen rural economy with wheat MSP bonus and gaushala grants.
The Rajasthan government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, has taken a significant step to strengthen cow protection, development, and welfare with the announcement of the Cow Service Policy 2026. The new policy aims to enhance cow welfare, support livestock development, and empower rural farmers, women, youth, and laborers, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for holistic development.
The Cow Service Policy 2026 is designed to accelerate cow protection and welfare programs, ensuring better management of cow shelters and providing substantial assistance to farmers and livestock owners. Under this initiative, registered gaushalas will receive daily grants of ₹50 for large cattle and ₹25 for small cattle, ensuring a direct benefit to the rural economy.
Over the past two years, the Rajasthan government has consistently worked toward animal welfare through initiatives such as the Mangla Animal Insurance Scheme, Rajasthan Cooperative Gopal Credit Card Scheme, and the Chief Minister Dairy Producer Support Scheme, providing financial security and support to cattle rearers.

Apart from livestock welfare, the state government has also taken notable steps for farmer empowerment. Through the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi and Chief Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi, farmers in the state have received approximately ₹11,000 crore directly in their bank accounts, with annual payments of ₹9,000 per farmer. For the upcoming financial year 2026-27, the state has allocated ₹1,19,408 crore as the agriculture budget, prioritizing farmer welfare.
In a move to ensure better returns for wheat growers, CM Bhajanlal Sharma announced a bonus of ₹150 per quintal over the minimum support price (MSP), taking the effective wheat procurement price to ₹2,735 per quintal. This measure fulfills the government’s commitment to farmers and ensures guaranteed MSP of ₹2,700 per quintal, as promised in its electoral pledge.
CM Sharma highlighted that the Cow Service Policy 2026 is expected to simultaneously promote rural development, strengthen the agricultural economy, and ensure better living conditions for livestock, creating a model for sustainable development in the state.
“The Cow Service Policy 2026 is not just about cow protection; it is about empowering farmers, supporting rural livelihoods, and realizing our commitment to the welfare of women, youth, and laborers,” said CM Bhajanlal Sharma. “This initiative reflects our government’s dedication to integrated rural development and sustainable economic growth.”
The policy has already been welcomed by farmers, livestock owners, and social welfare experts, who see it as a step forward in combining traditional animal welfare with modern economic and rural development strategies.
