Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog Chairman Vallabhbhai Kathiria on Monday unveiled a chip made of cow dung and claimed that it significantly reduced radiation from mobile handsets, The Indian Express reported.
Kathiria said that the chip would have to be kept inside a mobile handset and claimed that using it will help one avoid diseases. He made the remarks at the launch of “Kamdhenu Deepawali Abhiyan”, a nationwide campaign aimed at promoting cow dung products.
“You must have heard a few days ago that the actor Akshay Kumar… He has eaten cow dung,” the commission’s chief said at the event. “You can eat it. It’s medicine. But we have forgotten our science.” Kathiria’s statement was in reference to the actor’s remarks that he drinks cow urine every day for “Ayurvedic” reasons.
The chip, called Gausatva Kavach, was manufactured by Shrijee Gaushala, an animal shelter in Rajkot, Gujarat. The agency is a part of the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying and was set up on February 6, 2019, by the Centre.
Kathiria said that the Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog has initiated a research project on cow dung. “We want to have research on these subjects which we consider a myth,” he said.
The commission’s chief said that over 500 gaushalas are manufacturing the anti-radiation chips. “They are available for Rs 50 to Rs 100 each,” he said. “One person is exporting such chips to the United States, where it is sold at about $10 each.”
Kathiria said they were trying to popularise the “anti-radiation properties of cow dung.” He said that all cow-dung products are anti-radiation. “All this has been approved by science,” he added.
When asked whether the chips were certified by a government laboratory, he said that the chips were not certified but tested and one can conduct the test even at a college laboratory.
The Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog is aiming to reach 11 crore families to ignite 33 crore cow dung diyas (earthen lamps) during the Diwali festival. “The feedback received so far is very encouraging and approximately 3 lakh Diyas will be ignited in the holy city of Ayodhya alone, 1 lakh diyas will be lit in holy city of Varanasi,” it said in a statement. It added that the cow dung products will help make the environment cleaner and healthier and also make gaushalas self-reliant.
The process to manufacture cow dung-based products such as diyas, candles, incense sticks, paper-weight, hardboard, wall-piece, and idols of Ganesha and Lakshmi has already begun.

Rahul Gandhi has tea with 'dead' voters from Bihar, thanks EC for experience
New Delhi, Aug 13 (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said he had a unique experience of having tea with some "dead" voters from Bihar and thanked the Election Commission for it.
A group of seven voters from Bihar met the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha at his residence and shared their experience of how they were declared "dead" by the EC and their names removed from the electoral rolls.
"There have been many interesting experiences in life, but I never got the chance to have tea with 'dead people'. For this unique experience, thank you Election Commission!" Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on X.
He also shared a video of his meeting with the "dead" voters. In it, Gandhi is heard telling them to move around and see Delhi as the "dead" cannot even be charged tickets.
In the video, some of them told Gandhi that they came to know that they were "declared dead" by the EC during the special intensive revision (SIR), and were among the 65 lakh voters whose names have been removed from the electoral rolls of poll-bound Bihar.
The group also told Gandhi that they appeared before the Supreme Court on Wednesday to get their voting rights back. The apex court is hearing petitions against the special intensive revision of electoral rolls in Bihar.
In a statement, the party later said that seven voters from Bihar, all very much alive, shared tea with Rahul Gandhi today, even as the Election Commission's SIR list had them as "dead".
Ramikbal Ray, Harendra Ray, Lalmuni Devi, Vachiya Devi, Lalwati Devi, Punam Kumari, and Munna Kumar all belong to Tejashwi Yadav's constituency, Raghopur.
"They have been removed from the electoral rolls despite having completed the requisite paperwork for the SIR.
"The Election Commission has not openly published lists of the people whom it has declared dead, migrated, etc. Our teams on the ground were able to identify these people only because they managed to informally get EC's internal report in two to three polling booths," the Congress said.
These seven represent only a fraction of "unjustly" deleted voters in two to three polling booths in the constituency, it added.
"This is not a clerical error — it is political disenfranchisement in plain sight.
"After 'Vote Chori' was exposed in Bengaluru, it is clear that the Bihar SIR exercise is also compromised. When the living are struck off as dead, the death certificate is issued to democracy itself," the Congress said.
