BHOPAL: The Madhya Pradesh is going high tech in terms of Cow care, the gau-healthcare and day-to-day care of a cow is being moved to an app that will link cow owners with animal husbandry officials and field teams.
Animal husbandry minister Lakhan Singh Yadav while speaking to the TOI stated that “Through the app, the government will monitor all its plans and projects for cow protection. Apart from healthcare details, it will have real-time information on how many stray cattle were rescued from streets and shifted to cow sheds. We will set it rolling in less than a month.”
