100 tonnes of paddy straw donated to TTD Gosala

Tirupati: Demonstrating continuous devotion to cow protection, Amalapuram-based Srinivasa Seva Trust Chairman Nimmakayala Satyanarayana donated 100 tonnes of paddy straw to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Gosala on Tuesday. Expressing his intention to transform fodder contribution into a permanent family service, Satyanarayana formally requested TTD administrative authorities to grant necessary permissions for regular, year-round paddy straw supplies to the gosala.

Satyanarayana has a notable history of philanthropic contributions toward TTD initiatives. He previously donated 2,000 safety helmets worth Rs15 lakh, customized with the Srivari logo, for TTD employees.

Furthermore, after donating 38 truckloads of straw in 2025, his trust collaborated with the Jyothula Nehru Foundation in May 2026 to supply 1,600 tonnes of dry fodder in 180 truckloads, providing three months’ worth of feed for TTD cows in the presence of Jaggampeta MLA Jyothula Nehru.

Dr AVN Sivakumar, Director of Sri Venkateswara Gosamrakshana Shala, commended Satyanarayana for his steadfast commitment to Srivari Seva and cattle welfare. He also expressed gratitude to the Jyothula Nehru Foundation and the Srinivasa Seva Trust for their sustained logistical and financial support toward bovine nutrition.

Concluding the event, Dr Sivakumar made an appeal to Lord Venkateswara’s global community of devotees to actively participate in the Govinda Go Seva program and contribute toward the protection, health, and nourishment of cows managed by the trust.
