Concern over decreasing Indigenous cows
Highlighting various breeds of cows found across India, the Maharashtra government also raised concern over the decrease in the number of indigenous cows. In its official order, the govt also emphasised the use of cow dung in agriculture through which the human gets nutrition in staple food. Considering the religious and cultural importance along with the socio-economic factors related to the cow and its products, the government encouraged the cattle rearers to rear Indigenous cows.
Notably, in India, the cow is given the status of mother and is worshipped in Hinduism. Apart from this, its milk, urine and dung are considered sacred and are used in abundance. Cow milk is very beneficial for the human body, while cow urine is claimed to cure many diseases.
