Cow Dung & Urine Can Strengthen Indian Economy, Says Shivraj Chouhan

Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said on Saturday that cows, their dung and urine, can play a crucial role in strengthening India’s economy.

“A lot of work cannot progress without cows or ox. Therefore, they are very crucial. Cows, their dung and urine can help strengthen the economy of the state and the country if a proper system is put in place,” Singh was quoted as saying by news agency ANI while addressing a convention of the women’s wing of the Indian Veterinary Association here.

“We are trying our best to lend support. And with the contribution of women in this field, I am sure that we will succeed. From cow dung and urine, you can make a range of important substances, starting from pesticides to medicines,” Chouhan added.

The state has India’s first cow sanctuary whose foundation was laid by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat.

It may be recalled that last year, the state had announced the constitution of a “gau cabinet” (cow cabinet) with ministers of six departments who would work towards the protection of cows and promotion of cow produce in Madhya Pradesh.

Tripura CM Biplab Deb had stressed rearing cows as means of employment for the youth in 2018, and said that unlike setting up big industries in which “one has to invest Rs 10,000 crore for employing 2000 people”, giving 10,000 cows to 5,000 families will help people start earning in “6 months”.
