The Karnataka budget for 2006-07 presented by the new BJP-JD(S) coalition government has come in for praise for a different reason "" research on medicinal effects of cow urine! | |
| A few years ago, a report submitted by the national commission constituted by the Centre had suggested research on medicinal properties of cow urine. |
| |
| Many states in the country are already working in this direction, says the Akhil Karnataka Gau Raksha Sangha of Mysore. |
| |
| In a press release, Sangha president S K Mittal said many animal welfare organisations, including itself, are propagating this. |
| |
| The Mysore Pinjrapole Society has already taken effective steps in collecting cow urine and improving cow breed for the purpose. |
| |
| He thanked chief minister H D Kumaraswamy and deputy chief minister and finance minister B S Yediyurappa for addressing the long-awaited demand of animal lovers by facilitating research on the medicinal effects of cow urine. |
| |
| Announcement of subsidy on purchase of bullocks and bullock carts will save the dumb animals. The announcement on large-scale organic farming will prove the economic viability of cattle and will save them from illegal slaughter, Mittal said. |
| |
| He appealed to the government to constitute a state animal welfare board as a nodal agency for the purpose. |
