Sonu Sood, the real-life hero of many, has once again proven his mettle beyond the silver screen. The actor has pledged Rs 22 lakhs to a gaushala struggling to provide for 7000 cows, ensuring their survival amid economic pressures.
Reports indicate the donation was made swiftly after Sood learned about the gaushala’s dire situation through social media appeals. With expenses skyrocketing due to inflation and supply chain issues, the shelter was on the brink of closure.
The funds will be utilized for procuring high-quality fodder, conducting health check-ups, and upgrading facilities to better accommodate the large bovine population. This comprehensive support package addresses both immediate and long-term needs of the animals.
Sood’s history of aid during the COVID-19 pandemic earned him folk-hero status, and now he’s channeling that same energy into animal welfare. ‘Every life matters, be it human or animal,’ a statement from his team quoted him as saying.
Experts in the dairy and animal husbandry sector highlight how such contributions stabilize rural economies, where cows play a pivotal role. The gaushala, located in a key agricultural belt, supports hundreds of local farmers indirectly.
Community leaders are urging more high-profile figures to follow suit. Sood’s involvement has already sparked donation drives online, amplifying the impact. This episode underscores the power of individual action in fostering collective good.
As the cowshed bounces back, Sonu Sood’s name will echo as a savior in the annals of compassionate giving.
