Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that promoting cow rearing in Madhya Pradesh is contributing to the economic empowerment of farmers and cattle keepers. He said that cow-sheds will be established in cities to care for cows, replacing the traditional Kanji Houses. Dr. Yadav highlighted efforts to boost milk production across more than 51,000 villages in the state, aiming to make Madhya Pradesh the leading state in dairy production nationwide. Additionally, he emphasized the goal of advancing from third to first place in the upcoming livestock census. The Chief Minister also mentioned a new initiative to provide credit cards for cow rearing. Recognizing the tradition of Govardhan Puja, which farmers and cattle rearers celebrate after Diwali, he noted that for the first time, these ceremonies are being organized at the government level across the state to honor and preserve the state’s ancient cultural heritage and respect for cows. Dr. Yadav conveyed his best wishes to the citizens gathered for Govardhan Puja during the state-level celebration at Ravindra Bhavan in Bhopal. He inaugurated the festivities by lighting a lamp on the Ravindra Bahiranga stage.
