Vilas Naik claimed that Gajendra drinks 15 liters of milk daily, besides grass and sugarcane, four times a day.

Mahesh Kharade, the district head of Maharashtra-based farmers’ union Swabhimani Shetkari Sangathan, said, “This buffalo has become our agricultural pride. It costs lakhs of rupees because he will reproduce good-quality buffaloes. Inspired by Gajendra, the farmers of our village are beginning to implement practices to rear healthy animals, so they get a new source of good income.”

It is necessary to take such initiative to develop the economic condition of the farmers, he added.
