Maharashtra Declares Cow as ‘Rajmata-Gomata’

The Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government has accorded the indigenous cow the title of “Rajmata” ahead of the state’s assembly election. Officials claimed the decision emphasizes the cow’s spiritual, scientific, and historical value in Indian civilization.

“Keeping in view the status of the indigenous cow in Indian culture since Vedic times, the usefulness of the milk of the indigenous cow in human diet, the important place of cow dung and cow urine in Ayurveda medicine, Panchgavya treatment system and organic farming systems, it has been approved to declare the indigenous cows as “Rajmata Gomata” from now on,” sources said after a cabinet meeting.

The news was made earlier today via a Government Resolution signed by Maharashtra Governor CP Radhakrishnan.

“Cows have been an important part of human life since ancient times. Since time immemorial, the cow has been given the name ‘Kamarrenu’ in recognition of its historical, scientific, and spiritual significance. We find different breeds of cows across the country; however, the numbers of indigenous cows are declining rapidly,” the resolution read. 

“The decline in the number of Indigenous cows is a matter of concern… Taking the background into account, livestock farmers are being urged to rear Indigenous cows. And in view of this, the government is declaring the indigenous cow as ‘Rajmata-Gaumata,” the resolution added.
