The Rajasthan government has increased the daily subsidy for registered gaushalas from FY 2025-26. The support is now ₹50 per cow per day instead of ₹44, and ₹25 per calf per day instead of ₹22. The change is linked to the Rajasthan Budget 2025-26 and should be read in the context of livestock welfare, support to cow-protection institutions, and sustainable agriculture.
The same budget also provides annual assistance of ₹30,000 to small and marginal farmers who continue traditional bullock-based farming. This makes the update wider than a gaushala subsidy measure: it connects with the rural economy, animal husbandry, and state-level welfare policy. For exams, the key facts are the amount, beneficiary category, and financial year.
For RAS and other Rajasthan exams, budget provisions like this can be asked directly in factual questions, such as the revised per-cow and per-calf daily subsidy amounts. Mains answers can use it as an example of livestock welfare, support for traditional farming, and rural livelihood protection.
Rajasthan allocated ₹1,204.90 crore to 3,043 gaushalas up to December 2025. This indicates the state's fiscal priority for the gaushala network. In the context of Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma's livestock welfare and sustainable agriculture agenda, candidates should remember the daily subsidy rates, eligible registered gaushalas, and the rural livelihood linkage.
