Prime Minister Modi shared his delight through a series of posts on X, where he not only announced the arrival of Deepjyoti but also shared videos and photos of himself interacting with the calf.
The name ‘Deepjyoti,’ which translates to ‘Lamp of Light,’ was chosen due to a distinctive light-shaped mark on the calf’s forehead, symbolizing enlightenment and prosperity.

The arrival of Deepjyoti has been celebrated on social media, with many expressing their admiration for the Prime Minister’s personal touch in governance and his respect for traditional values.
