Cow Culture Museum to Showcase Cultural, Spiritual, and Scientific Significance of Cows
Agra Divisional Commissioner Nagendra Pratap said the museum will highlight the religious, cultural, and spiritual importance of cattle while also demonstrating their scientific utility and the benefits of their products. “This confluence of tradition and science will promote a holistic understanding of cow conservation,” he added.

On February 14, 2026, senior officials, including Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad Vice-President Shailajakant Mishra, District Magistrate CP Singh, Mathura-Vrindavan Development Authority Vice President Lakshmi N, CEO Suraj Patel, Environmental Advisor Mukesh Sharma, and Dr. Amit Shukla from the veterinary university, inspected the proposed site and discussed project plans.

Promoting Cow Conservation and Cultural Heritage
Officials emphasized that the museum will highlight the cow’s spiritual significance in Indian culture, portraying it as a “mother” in the Sanatan tradition. The project will demonstrate that cow conservation is intertwined with religious values, virtuous lifestyles, and public welfare—not merely an economic or agricultural concern.
Following directives from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, this Cow Culture Museum is expected to enhance the cultural identity of the Braj region and serve as a milestone for promoting a cow-based economy with scientific and sustainable practices.
