New Delhi, July 24 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday gifted 200 cows to villagers who do not yet own a cow, under the Rwandan Government's Girinka Programme.

The function to mark the handing over of cows was held at Rweru Model Village, in the presence of Rwandan President Paul Kagame.

Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister appreciated the Girinka Programme, and President Paul Kagame's initiative in this regard.

He said people in India too would be pleasantly surprised to see the cow being given such importance as a means of economic empowerment in villages, in faraway Rwanda.

He spoke of the similarity in rural life in the two countries.

He said that the Girinka Programme will help transform villages in Rwanda.
