Giriraj Singh's cow factory plan
Earlier in September, in a bid to boost India's milk production, Union Animal Husbandry Minister Giriraj Singh, stirred controversy while addressing a rally in Nagpur, claiming that the Centre will set up a cow factory. He further claimed that using 'technology superior to IVF' they will inject cows to produce milk. Touting India's milk revolution Singh pronounced that he will solve issues related to cows unable to give milk using embryo-transplant. He said that this would accelerate India's pathway to the global milk market.
"Within three years, we will ensure that no Vidarbha's youth who are involved in cattle-rearing will face issues with cows not producing milk. We will establish a cow factory which will produce cows. People will ask how is this possible. We will use technology superior to embryo-transplant. Those cows unable to give milk will be injected with an embryo through IVF of those cows which give 20-litre milk. We will bring about such a revolution that Indian milk will be priced the best compared to world milk prices," he said.
