Today, there are more than 1100 indigenous cows in his gaushala ‘Heta’. These include desi breeds like Gir, Sahiwal, Tharparkar and Himalayan Badri. Aseem not only serves these cows, but also produces more than 130 products from their milk, cow urine and ghee. Such as soap, shampoo, medicines, incense sticks, herbal products and manure. There is a demand for these products across the country. His annual earnings have now been more than Rs 10 crore. The most important thing is that today more than 130 people are getting employment in Aseem’s unit. Everyone from the youth of the village to the women are running their homes in some form or the other.
Aseem believes that it is very small thinking to consider desi cows as only low milk animals. They say that if you save the indigenous cows, you will save, then not only society, the whole nature will be saved. He believes that desi cows are very important for Indian agriculture, health and environment. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also appreciated his hard work and dedication. Aseem has received the National Gopal Ratna Award, which is the biggest honor given in the field of cow rearing in the country. Apart from Ghaziabad, now his cowsheds are also in Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh and Champawat in Uttarakhand.
