Addressing a conference of the Women’s Wing of the Veterinary Association of India in Bhopal, she said that without a cow or a bull, a lot of work cannot go ahead. Therefore, they are very important.
Cows, their dung and urine can help in strengthening the economy of the state and the country if proper arrangements are made. We are doing our best to extend support, he said. And with the contribution of women in this field I am sure we will be successful. You can make many important substances from dung and urine, ranging from pesticides to medicine.
