Delhi LG Opens Tihar Gaushala and Digital Reforms to Advance Inmate Rehabilitation

Officials say the measures strengthen rehabilitation through cow therapy alongside digital oversight and market access.

Overview

  • Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena inaugurated a cowshed and three ICT tools at the Tihar Jail complex on November 19 with Delhi home minister Ashish Sood in attendance.
  • The new gaushala in Jail No. 7 houses 10 Sahiwal cows for breed preservation and supervised cow therapy for inmates facing isolation, with officials citing Delhi’s heavy stray-cattle load as context.
  • Tihar Bakery products are now listed on ONDC and the My Store platform for home delivery, with officials noting the public can search for “Tihar se” to find items.
  • A real-time inventory management system launched to monitor essentials such as food and medicines, trigger reorder alerts, and improve transparency and efficiency.
  • A new NGO portal opened for free registration and activity disclosures, as Sood proposed a larger state-supported gaushala and allowing Tihar Bakery goods in government offices, proposals that await approval.
