Panjrapol: A Sanctuary for Animals
In Gujarat, cattle shelters, known as ‘Panjrapol,’ serve as vital facilities for the care and treatment of animals. These shelters are supported through individual contributions, community service, and philanthropy to ensure a continuous supply of fodder and veterinary care throughout the year. Special attention is given during droughts and natural disasters to safeguard and care for cattle and other animals.
Unn Panjrapol Project
The cattle shelter in Unn, Banaskantha, was established to house 1,500 cattle after a severe flood damaged the previous enclosure. Situated on an agrarian belt
near a small village lake, the new site benefits from existing neem trees and local species, which guided the design to maximize natural shade and environmental harmony.
