Due to extreme droughts, villages in Pali weren't able to provide enough food and water to their animals. Cattle were suffering from malnutrition. The poor villagers, who couldn't afford to keep the cattle, let it out on the streets. Only the ones which gave milk were kept in the houses.
The deserted cows, as no one took care of them, went through hard times finding food and water for themselves. Most of them were at dying stage roving through the empty streets. Kishore Khimawat had once come across this situation and he took actions to protect these animals. The Trust also takes care of the retarded cattle by specially constructing Gaushalas and by making other arrangements for them.
