The cow is considered very sacred in Indian culture due to its multi-disciplinary utility. Cows and its progeny have been the backbone of our rural economy for ages. The owners of
cows are abandoning them resulting in a huge population of stay cattle. The welfare of stray cattle needs an urgent attention.
