Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan brings in age-old tradition to Hyderabad

Hyderabad: Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan has established a Gaushala on the Raj Bhavan premises on the occasion of her birthday on Tuesday.

According to the Governor's office, government authorities had provided the animals for the Gaushala. The idea behind setting up of the Gaushala was to encourage the village tradition where revenue is generated with dairy products. The Governor also took up a plantation drive by planting saplings of fruit-bearing plants in the Raj Bhavan. She later awarded prizes to children who excelled in the 'Connect Chancellor' campaign, which was initiated by her. It was an opportunity for University students to project their creativity in the form of articles, stories and poems on topics like role of print and electronic media during the Covid-19 pandemic.
