Shuddh Ghee Deepak Abhiyan – A Movement to Empower Villages, Protect Cows & Revive Temples

 ✨ Introduction:

  Have you ever imagined what would happen if every temple in India lit even one diya (lamp) each day using pure desi cow ghee instead of adulterated oils?

 Shuddh Ghee Deepak Abhiyan is not just a ritual revival—it’s a national movement connecting cow protection, rural livelihoods, women empowerment, organic farming, and temple economy under one mission.

⚠️ The Problem:

Millions of diyas are lit every day in temples across India. However, most use cheap, adulterated oils or synthetic ghee, which leads to:


Decline in indigenous cow rearing


Lack of market for pure cow ghee


Missed opportunity to support rural livelihoods and organic practices

🌟 The Vision: Shuddh Ghee Deepak Abhiyan

We propose that:


Every Indian temple should begin lighting diyas using 100% pure desi cow ghee


This will revive demand for indigenous cows, creating rural jobs and boosting desi ghee production


Women Self Help Groups (SHGs) can become central to this production movement


Cow dung can be used for compost and biogas generation


Temples can become economic hubs, not just spiritual ones

📊 The Potential Impact:

India has over 5 lakh temples. If just 25% of them adopt 1 diya/day with pure cow ghee:


18,000+ desi cows will be needed


Over ₹182 crore will flow into rural economy yearly


If scaled to 5 diyas per temple, it could support 91,000 cows and generate ₹900 crore+ annually


This will create thousands of jobs in ghee production, cattle care, and farming support

  

🔗 Tech + Transparency:

To ensure trust, scale, and transparency:


Supply chain tracking apps can be used to trace ghee from cow to temple


Blockchain-based donations can make temple funding fully transparent and tamper-proof


Mobile platforms can connect temples with local SHGs, dairy farmers, and suppliers

 🪔 Spiritual Meets Sustainable:

This movement isn’t just about worship—it’s about using temples as engines for village economy, sustainability, and cultural pride.

Each diya becomes a symbol of cow protection, rural income, and Bharatiya wisdom.
