    A nice Step in good direction. Please consider Goshalas and fine grazing grounds for cows. They should live peacefully and Milk production in our Nation increase day by day. Development and Multiplication of Native Cows and its products must also be included in this budget Package. All the best Modiji.

    That milk powder is not a product of Native cows. We need milk of Native cows only.

    Milk is to feed its own bodies and and animals to its offspring’s to survive intially . Latter the offspring’s of animals must live by their own.

    Cow milk is for cow babies.

    It is not designed for humans.

    In fact much research has shown that cow milk can be very harmful to humans.

    So, do yourself a favour. Cut down milk consumption to no more than one glass per month.

    Do not steal from cow babies. That is cruelty.
