Selfies are a craze in the social media and an NGO in Kolkata has come up with a novel 'Selfie with a Cow' contest to raise awareness about the importance of the bovine animal.

The 'Selfie with a Cow' or 'Cowfie' contest in the city has been arranged by an NGO named 'Go Seva Pariwar' and according to its officials the response is "very good".

"Cow protection should not be mixed with religion or politics. Cow protection needs to be done for social and scientific use," Abishekh Pratap Singh, an official of the NGO, said.

Singh said that every product from cow and even its waste had scientific value and need - be it milk, urine or dung.
