‘Gau Mitras’ to connect Gen Z

The Uttar Pradesh government plans to train around 10,000 ‘Gau Mitras’ to connect Gen Z and young people with cow conservation, natural farming, biogas and rural employment. The announcement comes days after a viral video from a government school in Gehrauli Khurd, Hamirpur, Uttar Pradesh, reportedly showed children being served rice with water and turmeric under the mid-day meal programme. While the Gau Mitra campaign focuses on cow conservation and related economic activities, the incident raises questions about the implementation of existing welfare schemes.
