Since the announcement, Twitter has been flooded with amusing comments, memes, and videos commemorating Cow Hug Day.










"The Cow Goddess took her revenge on me. I made fun of Cow Hug Day yesterday, and then my daughter called me from college and demanded money to pay for her boyfriend's Valentine's Day gift! "Cow Karma, I tell you!" wrote one user.

In our country, Valentine's Day is known as "Cow Hug Day," according to another user.

The government advisory body criticised the "dazzle of western civilization" and emphasised how Vedic traditions are in danger of disappearing because of the "progress of western culture over time." In light of this, the welfare board urged people to embrace cows, which it described as the "backbone of Indian culture and rural economy".

The authority claims that "hugging a cow will make us feel emotionally rich, which will boost both our individual and societal happiness." Therefore, all cow lovers are welcome to observe February 14 as Cow Hug Day while remembering the value of mother cows and their contribution to the happiness and positive energy, according to an advisory from the AWBI board.
