Rajkot: In order to provide the fast-growing dairy industry in various districts of Saurashtra with more milk-yielding indigenous breed of cattle, Junagadh Agriculture University (JAU) in Junagadh will soon establish a Bull Mother Farm for indigenous Gir cattle and Jaffrabadi buffaloes at Amreli.

As many as 150 organisations will participate in a huge convention at Malleswaram on July 20 at 11 am, to lay pressure on the Legislative Council to pass the Bill against cow slaughter.

Addressing a press conference, Dayananda Swami said cows are significant from religious point of view and are pivotal to rural economy, as they help generate additional income.
