‘Awara’ and ‘Besahara’ words not be used for cows, says Kumawat
Jaipur: In Jaipur, Animal Husbandry and Dairy Minister Joraram Kumawat held a meeting with officials from Gopalan Dept to discuss new directives regarding cattle welfare. Following the meeting, he addressed the media, announcing that terms like “Awara” (stray) and “Besahara” (abandoned) will no longer be used to describe cattle. Instead, “Nirasharit” (destitute) will be adopted in government records.
Kumawat emphasized the cultural significance of cows, stating, “Cows are our mothers, providing us with milk and other products.” He condemned the societal tendency to neglect cattle and highlighted the responsibility to protect them. Furthermore, he noted that the department is studying Maharashtra’s recent decision to elevate cows to status of ‘Rajmata’, and will present findings to the Chief Minister Bhajana Lal Sharma for the further consideration.
