Approximately one year ago, a cow named Gauri suffered a severe fracture in her front left leg in three places after being struck by an unknown vehicle at Ghoda Ghati in Nathdwara, located in Rajasthan's Rajsamand district.

Acting on the advice of Dr. Laxman from Nedach village, the severely injured leg had to be amputated, making it extremely difficult for the animal to walk.

Special prosthetic limb developed

The Prosthetics and Orthotics Department of the Narayan Seva Sansthan subsequently prepared a special artificial limb for the cow.

According to Sansthan President Prashant Agarwal and Department Head Dr. Manas Ranjan Sahu, the cow is now fully capable of walking and roaming in fields with the help of the prosthetic leg, and currently yields about 8 litres of milk daily.
