NATIONAL DAIRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD The metallic seal of National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) is adapted from the famous Bull Seal of Harappa with its inscriptions. This emblem appropriately takes off from the heritage of cattle farming skills known from the time immemorial and used for the development of dairy establishments in India. I feel, this one emblem of India is more representative than any to inform the user of its knowledge and skills. 

BIHAR ANIMAL SCIENCES UNIVERSITY Bihar Animal Sciences University (BASU) was established in Patna through an BASU Act No. 15 of 2016 of Bihar Government and notified in the Bihar Gazette on August 29, 2016.

The gear wheel is inscribed by its name in Devanagari and English and on the banner, its motto in Sanskrit ‘ज्ञानम् परमम् ध्येयम्’ meaning ‘Knowledge is the Supreme Goal’ is inscribed. The bull is symbolic of the university’s educational domain and the lotus symbolises purity, enlightenment,

SATAVAHANA UNIVERSITY In June 2008, the Postgraduate Centre of Osmania and Kakatiya Universities were upgraded as Satavahana University. It is named after the Satavahana dynasty that ruled this region. The emblem is designed incorporating the inscriptions on various coins and objects of archeological importance found during the excavations carried out in the district, which represent the ancient culture of Karimnagar district. Most of them are representatives of the then prevalent Buddhist culture. The upper half of the column has six arms, representing the arrow, fish and hooks. This is taken from a coin found during excavations. Immediately over this, four crescents around a dot are found on a square block. The columns are joined with a beam containing a design of leafless trees in the gateway. The beam is decorated by bulls in the two extremes supported by two beetles. A pair of peacocks sit above the beam. Triratna, a Buddhist symbol, is placed inside the gateway. All t

NANDIPADA The Nandipada ('foot of Nandi') is an ancient Indian symbol, also called a taurine symbol, representing a bull's hoof or the mark left by the foot of a bull in the ground. The nandipada and the zebu bull are generally associated with Nandi, Shiva 's humped bull in Hinduism. The Nandipada symbol also happens to be similar to the Brahmi letter 'ma'. The Nandipada symbol saw later evolution, especially with branches becoming more decorated. It is sometimes associated or confused with the Buddhist Triratna symbol. The term is also often used in numismatics. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nandipada#:~:text=The%20Nandipada%20(%22foot%20of%20Nandi,s%20humped%20bull%20in%20Hinduism . https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=7501716  

NANDI The name Nandi, which means 'happiness', designates the sacred bull belonging to Shiva, the Hindu god of creative power. In traditional Indian sculpture Shiva is often shown mounted on or leaning against the animal. As a symbol of Shiva, the Nandi represents power, virility, joy, and delight, as well as a controlled potential for destructiveness. When carved as a free-standing figure, the Nandi is always shown in a resting position that emphasizes the calmer aspect of its power. Shiva and Nandi's association in Hindu scriptures and art can be traced to very early Indian culture, where dairy farming was the most important occupation, thus explaining the importance and sacredness of the cow and bull. Vahanas symbolise or complement the energy or character of their deity. The white colour of the bull symbolizes purity and justice. Nandi images are found in abundance at Shiva temples. Nandi is a symbolism of eternal waiting, because waiting is consi

STATE EMBLEM OF BHARAT (INDIA) The State Emblem of Bharat (India) is an adaptation from the Sarnath Lion Capital of Asoka which is preserved in the Sarnath Museum. The Lion Capital has four lions mounted back to back on a circular abacus. The frieze of the abacus is adorned with sculptures in high relief of an elephant, a galloping horse, a bull and a lion separated by intervening Dharma Chakras. The abacus rests on a bell-shaped lotus. The profile of the Lion Capital showing three lions mounted on the abacus with a Dharma Chakra in the center, a bull on the right and a galloping horse on the left and outlines of Dharma Chakras on the extreme right and left has been adopted as the State Emblem of India. The Bell-shaped lotus has been omitted. The motto ‘Satyameva Jayate’ - 'Truth alone triumphs' written in Devanagari script below the profile of the Lion Capital is part of the State Emblem of Bharat. The government adopted the emblem on January 26,, 1950, the day when Ind
