Undergraduate students in Haryana will learn why cow is being given the status of mother. Haryana Gauseva Aayog chairman, Bhani Ram Mangla will visit universities across the state to give lessons on the benefits of cows to humans.
“The young students need to be taught the importance of cows so they grow up respecting the animal and work for its protection,” Mangla told HT. “I am also in the process of publishing a book on importance of cows, which I will distribute to these students and try to get it included in their syllabus in some form,” he added.
Mangla was waiting for the admission process to get over so that he could begin his lectures. Aayog chairman will begin with Deenbandhu Sir Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology in Murthal.
“Why cow, and not buffalo, has been regarded the status of mother by our forefathers? What are the benefits of A2 milk, cow urine among others to humans? Answer to all these questions are scientifically backed, which our students need to know,” Mangla added.
The Haryana Gauseva Aayog works with an aim of implementing total ban on cow slaughter. It sees these lectures teaching as a long-standing arrangement towards cow protection. The government will open gaushalas in jails to “reform prisoners” on Aayog’s idea. “The first gaushalas will come up in Karnal jail,” Mangla said.
