In the appeal issued to the farmers, he had said that instead of burning the para in the fields after harvesting the paddy, instead of burning para in the fields, donate para to the Gauthan committee of your village. This will make it easier for the committees in arranging fodder for cows. On the appeal of Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, farmers are donating para for cow fodder. So far more than 7 lakh 32 thousand 886 quintals have been collected through donations in Para Gauthans. The value of which is about Rs 20 crore at the rate of Rs 200 per quintal.
