A tribute to the silent nurturer of India – the cow, and the journey of seva led by Mr. Shivam Sharma.

In Indian tradition, the cow is not merely an animal — she is a sacred symbol of motherhood, nourishment, and abundance. Referred to with reverence as Gau Mata, she has given selflessly to humankind for centuries — offering milk, strength, and sustenance.

But in today’s fast-paced, concrete world, her plight often goes unnoticed. From being worshipped in scriptures to being left abandoned on the streets — the journey of the cow in modern India is filled with pain and neglect.

It was in 2020, when the world was in lockdown, that Mr. Shivam Sharma, founder of Unimax Foundation, witnessed firsthand the silent suffering of these gentle beings — and took a vow that would transform thousands of lives.

🌿 The Beginning of a Mission (2020)

During the pandemic, as roads emptied and human activity paused, thousands of cows that relied on leftover food and kindness from passersby began starving. Many chewed on plastic, fell sick, or roamed dehydrated under the harsh sun.

Mr. Shivam Sharma couldn’t turn a blind eye. With just a few volunteers and limited resources, he began feeding stray cows daily with roti, green fodder (chaara), water, and seasonal fruits. This wasn’t a project — it was a calling. And what began as a small act of seva soon snowballed into a movement of compassion.

🛤️ Growth into a Nationwide Initiative (2021–2022)

By mid-2021, Unimax Foundation had scaled up to feed over 5,000 cows across multiple cities — including Delhi-NCR, parts of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab.

Key milestones during this phase included:

1. Launch of Cow Feeding Zones in residential areas

2. Setup of Roti Donation Drives ("Roti Bank")

3. Partnerships with gau-shalas for consistent fodder supply

4. Emergency rescue support for injured and abandoned cows

Each cow was treated not as a task — but as a soul to be served.

🩺 Medical Help and Rescue Operations (2023)

With the team expanding, Unimax Foundation began a dedicated Cow Rescue and Treatment Wing in 2023.

This involved:

1. Street rescues for cows hit by vehicles

2. On-call veterinary support for injured animals

3. Nutritional rehabilitation for sick and malnourished cows

4. Collaborations with local animal hospitals and shelters

One heart-touching story was of Ganga, a cow suffering from an open wound and severe weakness. With immediate care, regular feeding, and love, she not only survived — but became the face of the campaign.

📈 Impact at Scale: Over 20,000 Cows Fed Regularly (2024–2025)

By 2024, Unimax Foundation had grown into one of India’s largest organized Gau Seva movements, serving between 10,000 to 20,000 cows every single day.

This scale was achieved through:

1. Over 300 Cow Feeding Points established in 20+ districts

2. Deployment of fodder vans carrying 2–3 tons of green feed daily

3. Installation of 500+ clay water pots in urban heat zones

4. Activation of 5,000+ community volunteers via schools, RWAs, and colleges

Unimax also integrated tech by launching a mobile app for reporting injured cows, locating feeding points, and donation tracking.

🙏 Why Gau Seva Is More Than Tradition

For Mr. Shivam Sharma, this movement is not just about tradition — it's about restoring a moral balance in our urban lifestyle.

“She fed us before we even knew hunger. She gives without expectation. The least we can do is serve her with dignity, not pity.” — Mr. Shivam Sharma, Founder, Unimax Foundation

Feeding and caring for cows also reduces garbage pollution, as many die consuming plastic from dumps. Cow dung is also repurposed for organic farming and eco-products through SHGs supported by the foundation.

🧭 Vision for 2030

Looking ahead, Unimax Foundation aims to create a self-sustaining Gau Seva Ecosystem by:

1. Setting up Gau-Grams (cow villages) for abandoned cows

2. Creating roti-making machines for mass food supply

3. Establishing cow ambulances in 10 Indian states

4. Educating 1 million youth on cow protection and eco-harmony

🌟 Conclusion: A Mother’s Blessing Multiplies

In a society that often measures worth by voice, movement, or productivity, the cow reminds us of silent strength. She does not protest, she does not leave — she endures.

Through the Gau Seva initiative, Unimax Foundation has not only fed thousands of cows — it has revived a culture of gratitude, service, and compassion.

Nourish her right, and she’ll bless you twice — once with milk, and again with peace. - Mr. Shivam Sharma, Founder, Unimax Foundation
