The institutes to be involved in the activity are Junagadh Agricultural University (JAU) and the newly set up Kamdhenu University having its offices at Karma Yogi Bhawan in Gandhinagar.

The total cost of the project is estimated to be over Rs 64 crore in the first phase.

JAU vice-chancellor A R Pathak said that the basic purpose of the project was not only to preserve Gir and other breeds of cows in the state but also increase their milk yield to increase income for the farmers.
