FUTURE ROADMAP
Aspirations & Way Forward
BGM envisions becoming a national Centre of Excellence for indigenous cattle, rooted in Maharashtra, with a mission to advance animal husbandry, education, and community development. The initiative promotes the well-being of cows while uplifting farmers, women, children, and youth through knowledge-sharing and skill-building. Serving as a rural innovation hub for sustainable agriculture and ecological learning, BGM also fosters community-based agro-enterprises and skilling hubs, empowering local communities, preserving indigenous breeds, and driving sustainable rural livelihoods.

Our Aspiration
Traditional and modern practices adopted over the years have been invaluable in enhancing the farm’s sustainability. These efforts have led to notable genetic improvements in the herd in the past decade, reinforcing the value of continued investment in indigenous cattle rearing.
Masterplan Of The Farm
The Betegaon Farm masterplan presents a comprehensive spatial strategy for the 350-acre site, balancing cattle welfare, sustainable agriculture, ecological preservation, and community engagement. The layout is thoughtfully organised into zones that reflect key programmatic functions, as illustrated in the zoning plan.
The masterplan clearly reflects BGM’s commitment to land stewardship, with development concentrated in the southern portion of the site to intentionally preserve the largest contiguous area for fodder cultivation and agricultural use. This approach ensures that the farm’s core purpose, supporting indigenous cattle rearing through sustainable agriculture, remains intact, while enabling transformational change that integrates ecological conservation, social impact, and long-term agricultural resilience.
Furthermore, as part of a cooperative understanding, transmission towers of national importance by MAHADISCOM and POWERGRID Corporation of India continue to be installed on the farmland. Due to this, the presence of high-tension power lines imposes restrictions on structural development, making these areas best and most sustainably used as fodder fields and managed grasslands.
As fodder availability becomes an increasing challenge due to shrinking land parcels, BGM intends to retain these areas specifically for agricultural use. As a result, all built infrastructure has been strategically limited to agriculturally non-viable zones, ensuring that fertile land dedicated to fodder cultivation remains protected and undisturbed.
