Holy cow! If you always thought cows were about milk and milk products only, think again. The domestic animal is shaping the lives of poor students in parts of Bihar. How?
Well, as innovative thinking goes, this one takes the cake. An engineering institute in the state is accepting cows as admission fee from students who cannot afford to pay in cash. All they have to do is to deposit just five cows. The move, the authorities say, will help the poor talented children from the rural areas fulfill their dream. However, the offer comes with a rider. The cows must be from the homes of the students. Since the farming class breeds cattle at home for agricultural and business purposes, this should not be a problem, the authorities add.
