Though primarily based in Chennai,
Rajavel Nagarajan hails from Thiruvarur district. His hometown is also home to a unique breed of cows and bulls – the Umblachery.
The
Umblachery is an Indian breed of
zebuine cattle (those that have a hump on their backs), unique to the Cauvery delta districts of Thanjavur, Thiruvarur, and Nagapattinam in Tamil Nadu. However, due to their low milk production as compared to other cattle, and subsequent low demand, their numbers have kept dropping.
Disheartened at this state of affairs, Rajavel decided to
quit his career as an RJ, and move back to his hometown to take care of this breed. He also encourages other farmers to use this breed.
