In an effort to introduce students to the significance of cows, Rajasthan Education Minister Madan Dilawar has announced plans to incorporate information about cows into primary school curricula. "We will talk to scholars and experts and, if possible, will try to add information on cows in primary school books," says Madan Dilawar, stated in a report by ABP News.
Further, the minister also mentioned efforts to screen educational films on cows to enhance students' understanding. This announcement follows a directive from the Animal Husbandry Department, which recently advised officials to use the term "destitute" instead of "stray" when referring to cows.
The move has sparked discussions as political tensions rise ahead of the by-elections, with many debating the motivations behind the initiative.
