Maavadi Gaushala · Surat
Serving Cows, Preserving Our Heritage
Maavadi Charitable Trust protects cows with shelter, food, and medical care, and keeps the practice of Gau Seva alive in Surat.
The Trust
A Surat home for cows, and a place of service
Maavadi Charitable Trust is the public name of Maavadi Gaushala Trust, a non-profit registered in Surat under number E/9964/Surat. The Gaushala stands beside Gabi Hanuman Mandir on Vesu Canal Road.
Its first duty is the cow: protection, a roof, daily fodder, and treatment when an animal is injured or unwell. Around that work, the trust also keeps religious and spiritual life, and supports education, food distribution, and other charitable efforts.

Our Mission
Care for the cow, and care that reaches outward
Food, Shelter & Medical Care
Fodder, clean water, a shaded shelter, and veterinary attention are the ordinary work that makes Gau Seva real.
Compassion and Gau Seva
Service here is quiet and repeated: feeding, cleaning, watching an animal heal, and treating the cow as a charge, not a commodity.
Serving Society Through Charity
Beyond the shed, the trust takes part in religious life, education, food distribution, and other help for the community.
Our Gaushala
Maavadi Gaushala
A gaushala is a shelter kept for cows, not a dairy built for output. At Maavadi Gaushala the animals at the centre of that promise are cows, sheltered for protection and care.
Day to day, the work is feeding, shelter, and care. Animals that need rescue are brought in for rest and treatment. Visitors who wish to offer seva, or simply to understand the place, are welcome to come to the address beside Gabi Hanuman Mandir.

Our Activities
What the trust undertakes
Six strands of work, held together by one intention: protect the cow, and let that care spill into the life of the community.
Why Maavadi Trust
A steady place for seva
A registered trust
Maavadi Gaushala Trust is registered in Surat as E/9964/Surat. The name on this website is its public name.
Cows, first
The shelter is devoted to cows: their safety, feeding, and care.
Care you can picture
Feeding, shelter, rescue, and medical treatment are the work. Nothing here depends on invented numbers.
Rooted in Vesu
The Gaushala is on Vesu Canal Road, opposite Pujan Plaza, where neighbours can visit and take part.
Offer support
A gift that keeps the day’s care going
Fodder is bought every day. Medicine is needed without warning. A shelter needs repair, water, and people to tend it. A contribution toward any of these keeps Gau Seva from becoming occasional.
Give online through the trust’s Razorpay checkout. UPI and bank details will be added only after the trust verifies them.
