The Rajasthan government has taken a big decision regarding cows. The words used for cows will be banned and a new word has been suggested for this. Animal Husbandry and Dairy Minister Zoraram Kumawat said, “Now the word ‘stray’ will not be used for cows in Rajasthan.” Responding to the debate on the grant demand of the Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Department in the Rajasthan Assembly on Wednesday, Zoraram Kumawat said that from now on the word ‘niraashrit’ will be used for stray cows.
According to the agency, the minister said that “the state government is committed to make livestock farmers economically self-reliant by developing valuable animal wealth and increasing livestock production. The state government is also working sensitively for the protection and promotion of cows and bulls.”
After discussion in the House, the Assembly passed the grant demands of the department by voice vote.
