Correct Answer: Gaushala & Pinjrapoles

Gaushalas and Pinjrapoles are charitable institutions established by the cooperation of people (i.e., public/community-funded). Gosadans, in contrast, are government-funded schemes launched under the Five-Year Plan.

Key Differences

• Gaushala: Charitable institution; keeps productive cattle (cows, calves, bulls). A place where productive animals are housed and cared for.
• Pinjrapole: Charitable institution; keeps non-productive, aged, and disabled animals that are of no use — including animals other than cattle (e.g., horses, donkeys, goats).
• Gosadan: Government scheme launched during the 1st Five-Year Plan; located in remote forest areas; aimed at segregating old, unproductive cattle from productive ones; animals maintained on natural pastures & hay.

Memory Tip

Gaushala + Pinjrapole = People's charity (community funded)
Gosadan = Government scheme (state funded)
