Oct. 13: Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog (RKA) chairman Vallabhbhai Kathiria unveiled a ‘chip’ made of cow dung and claimed that it reduces radiation from mobile handsets and that it would be a safeguard against diseases. Speaking at the launch of a nationwide campaign ”Kamdhenu Deepawali Abhiyan”, which is aimed at promoting cow dung products, Vallabhbhai Kathiria said: “Cow dung will protect everyone, it is anti-radiation… It is scientifically proven…This is a radiation chip that can be used in mobile phones to reduce radiation. It will be safeguarded against diseases.” The “chip”, named Gausatva Kavach, is manufactured by Rajkot-based Shrijee Gaushala.

While launching Kamdhenu Deepawali Abhiyan, Kathiria unveiled other cow dung-based products like earthen lamps, candles, incense, paperweights, idols of gods and goddesses. He said RKA aims to reach 11 crore families to light 33 crore diyas made of cow dung this Diwali.

“You must have heard a few days ago that the actor Akshay Kumar… He has eaten cow dung. You can eat it. It’s a medicine. But we have forgotten our science,” Kathiria said, referring to the actor’s recent remarks that he drinks cow urine every day for Ayurvedic reasons. “Now we have started a research project. We want to have research on these subjects we consider a myth,” Kathiria said.
