It costs US$300 to maintain a cow for one year. The average lifespan of a cow is twenty years, thus the cost to maintain a cow for it's entire life is US$6,000. However, when US$3,333 is placed in a fixed deposit in India, it generates enough interest per month to maintain a cow, and when the cow passes on, the funds remain in our account to maintain another one.
