A Press Conference was held in Chennai on 5.1.2017 by ‘Gow Sewa Sangamam’ addressed by Shri Sankarlal, Senior RSS Leader and All India Incharge for Gow Sewa work. He described the importance of Gow Seva work and Protection of Desi cows. This event will be commenced at Rameshwaram (being one of the jyothirlingam of South) and will be conducted at all jyothirlinga places for the welfare of our country.
Highlighting about the cross breeds of Jersey, Holstein Friesian, Holstein, F.S with that of Yak, Urus, he criticized that the milk from these breeds are not milk at all and it is not good for health which multiplies diseases. These breeds are not fit for agriculture; maintenance cost is high whereas yielding is low. These breeds can give birth to 6-7 calf only whereas indigenous cow can give birth to 15-23 calves thereby more milk can be yielded. If properly maintained, indigenous cows can give 20-30 litres of milk a day. Desi cows are mobile medicine.
