Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, who visited Bikaner last week, signed two MoUs on July 27. The first was meant for a cow sanctuary in Napasar and the second was for development of Nandishala in Bikaner.
There are plans to project the sanctuary as a tourist destination, said Mr Vij adding that adequate quantity of fodder will be available there.
The state already has a ministry dedicated to the welfare of cows. In June, the state government levied a 20% surcharge on stamp duty to gather funds for cow protection.
