Ahead of Valentine’s Day, the Animal Welfare Board of India has urged people to observe ‘Cow Hug Day’ on February 14. Highlighting the significance of cows in the Indian culture and rural economy, the board wishes to celebrate Cow Hug Day to bring emotional richness and happiness to people.
The day is celebrated to learn about cows and celebrate how they are the backbone of India’s society and economy. We all know that cow is the backbone of Indian culture and rural economy; we need it for our life. It represents livestock wealth and biodiversity.
It is called ‘Kamadhenu’ and ‘Gomata’ because of its motherly nature. She is the giver of all wealth to humanity, the board said in a statement issued on February 6. A day like this is needed because western culture is causing the extinction of Vedic traditions. “
