He pointed out the differences in the culture, governance and administrative methods of western countries. He reminded the participants about the cow culture, children playing with the calves and the emotional attachment with animals, which brings a general well-being to the family members. He mentioned the recent trends of cow-cuddling in western countries.

He underlined the importance of value addition to the cow products to increase the income of farmers and employment generation of rural youth and women. He gave information about the various projects and Training programmes of MAFSU in association with the State Government of Maharashtra, NDDB and Mother dairy. Fifteen districts have been identified in Marathwada and Vidarbha for farmer-to-farmer training at Micro-training Centres established by MAFSU.

Dr Paturkar gave a standing invitation to all the participants to visit the departments and office of MAFSU, Nagpur in case of any further   He specifically mentioned that all patent information of products is freely available at the Kendra so that anyone interested can take benefit of their research and development in cow-based technologies and start their own enterprise.

Dr Anil Bhikane, Director of Extension, Maharashtra Animal & Fishery Sciences University (MAFSU), brought to the notice of the gathering that there is an alarming depletion in the number of indigenous cattle of India. There is a decrease of 18% of the native breeds all over the country. He also mentioned about the important survey of suicide in farmers, where in it was observed that 97% of male farmers committed suicide due to various difficulties.

The survey also revealed that in all over India, those farmers who were keeping animals along with farming did not commit suicide, because of the economic, social and emotional support of the Mother Cow. He also mentioned that mostly in the rural areas, the women in the family take care of the cattle, sheep, and goats and get economic as well as emotional benefits from the animals in return. Therefore, the cow industry must be strongly supported by the persons in various related Industries like VIA. Indian breeds like Red Sindhi, Tharparkar, Gir, Deoni, Gaolao must be protected and improved with the help of sorted semen, Open Housing and promotion of the cow-based industry through Goshalas and Industrial Associations.
