Explanation:

Gaushalas or Goshalas are protective shelters for cows in India. Goshalas focus on treating cows well, because of their religious significance in Hinduism and consequent cultural sensitivity towards their welfare.

India's first goshala is thought to have been established in Rewari by Rao Yudhishter Singh Yadav.There are now goshalas all over India.

The first Gaurakshini sabha (cow protection society) was established in the Punjab in 1882.The movement spread rapidly all over North India and to Bengal, Bombay, Madras presidencies and other central provinces. The organization rescued wandering cows and reclaimed them to groom them in places called gaushalas. Charitable networks developed all through North India to collect rice from individuals, pool the contributions, and re-sell them to fund the gaushalas. Signatures, up to 350,000 in some places, were collected to demand a ban on cow sacrifice.Between 1880 and 1893, hundreds of gaushalas were opened.
