JCI Mysore Royal City celebrates 25th Foundation Day 

Mysuru: JCI Mysore Royal City celebrated its 25th Foundation Day at the Mysore Pinjrapole Society premises, foot of Chamundi Hill, Mysuru, on Nov. 8. The celebration was marked by a noble initiative dedicated to the welfare and protection of cows.As part of the celebration, green fodder, jaggery and other nutritious food were offered to the cows sheltered at Pinjrapole.  

The organisation also extended financial assistance by handing over a cheque to the office-bearers of the Society towards the maintenance, fodder and feeding arrangements for the cows. 

Addressing the gathering, Vinod Khabia, Secretary of Mysore Pinjrapole Society, explained the important role played by the institution in protecting and sheltering cows rescued by the Police while being transported to slaughterhouses. Such cows are provided safe shelter at the Society as per court orders. 

He highlighted that although the Society plays a significant role in the service of cows, providing regular food, water, healthcare and other essential facilities for the increasing number of sheltered cows is a major challenge. 

He further informed that the Society incurs an expenditure of approximately Rs. 2.75 lakh every day towards the care, feeding and protection of the cows. These expenses are largely met through the generous contributions of cow devotees, philanthropists and donors.  

CA Umedraj Ranka provided an overview of the activities, initiatives and contributions of JCI. 

The programme was attended by JCI Mysore Royal City President JC Himanshu Achha, Secretary JC Puneeth Jugraj, Project Chairman HGF Rajan Baghmar, Project Coordinators JC Gaurav Jain and JC Smitha Pagariya, Project Director Vikas Darla, Immediate Past President JC Swarupa Jain, Prakash Srisrimaal, Jayesh Shah, Hitesh Shah, Umedraj Ranka, Mahendra Jain, Prakash Dak, Rahul Kanted, Seema Porwal, Madanlal Maru and Amarchand Dak and Vimal Pitliya from Terapanth Sabha, former JITO President Vinod Bakliwal, along with Mysore Pinjrapole Society President Sumathilal Pagariya, Secretary Vinod Khabia, Treasurer Ashok Kumar Dhoka, Surendra Jain and a large number of cow devotees.
