The main objective of this initiative is to foster a sense of love and respect for cows among students. It also aims to educate the younger generation about cattle's religious and scientific importance. Shri Rathi highlighted that a significant portion of the population has become disconnected from cattle, leading to a decline in cattle-rearing practices. This has resulted in cattle often roaming the streets, causing daily road accidents and endangering cattle and humans.

In addition to the ‘Gau Vigyan’ exam, the Chhattisgarh State Cattle Preservation and Development Committee will launch a comprehensive 5-month public awareness campaign on various cattle-related aspects. This campaign will feature events such as exhibitions in schools, seminars, lectures, and Gau Seva Sangam programs, all aimed at highlighting the importance of cattle. The organisers intend to reach households across the state to educate the public about the significance of ‘Gaumata.’

Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai extended his best wishes for the initiative and urged the people of the state to actively participate and support the success of this campaign. A large number of ‘Gausevak’ from across the state attended the event.

Early intervention services and follow-up care are provided at the district level to children suffering from identified selected health conditions.
