The Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government on Monday issued an order and declared cow as ‘Rajya Mata’.
The government took the initiative, citing the cultural importance of cows in the Indian tradition. The official order said that cows have been an important part of the Indian tradition and hold a spiritual, scientific and military significance since time immemorial.
Reacting to the order, DCM Devendra Fadnavis said: “Indigenous cows are a boon for our farmers. So, we have decided to grant this (‘Rajya Mata) status to them. We have also decided to extend help for the rearing of indigenous cows at Goshalas.”
