Lucknow, July 1

As per the information provided in a presentation during a video conference with Chief Secretary Durgashankar Mishra, the Yogi government has decided to make payments for the feeding and nurturing of cows at both active and under-construction cow shelters as well as the maintenance of the shelter in the state through the Go-Ashray Portal using DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer).

Updates on Portal 

The data for 5,919 cow shelters has been uploaded and locked on the Go-Ashray portal. On July 5, training for master trainers for DBT will take place, while on July 7, training for all relevant Block Development Officers, Gram Panchayat, Development Officers, and Accountants will be conducted. The process of fund transfer through DBT will commence from July 10. 

DBT Requirements

The Aadhaar feeding is very low in Lalitpur, Chitrakoot, Jhansi, Bulandshahr, Jaunpur, Farrukhabad, Meerut, Jalaun, Bahraich, and Fatehpur. Meanwhile, many shelters in Hapur, Firozabad, Agra, Banda and Gorakhpur are operated by the same NGO with a single account number. Notably, a separate account for each shelter is required for DBT.
