The Madhya Pradesh government has allotted Rs. 11 crore to the animal husbandry department for the financial year 2020-21, leaving the department with a shortfall of 90 per cent from the Rs. 132 crore that was allotted to it the previous year. The drastic drop in the budget leaves the department with Rs. 1.60 per day for the upkeep of over 1.8 lakh cows in the 1,300 shelters that are dependent on the money across the state.
