Incapacitated cows would be provided proper care and facility in gau shalas for which the state government would extend every possible assistance, he said, adding, cows were held in very high esteem in Indian culture due to the utility of their urine, dung and other products which had been scientifically proved.
Stating that his government had banned cow slaughter in the state, Singh said special efforts would be made for research on cow products.
Bio-farming was also being promoted in the state in a big way, Singh added.
