Mysuru: The five-yearly livestock census has begun in city following the Centre’s directive to States and Union Territories.
The 20th Livestock Census, delayed almost by a year (it was to be held last July), assumes significance because it is the first-ever enumeration of domestic animals since the Narendra Modi government came to power in May 2014. Interestingly, in Mysuru, the first animal census was conducted in 1897 by the then Maharaja.
