New Delhi: A chip made of cow dung will reduce radiation from mobile handsets and protect users from various diseases, a government official has claimed.
“Cow dung will protect everyone, it is anti-radiation… It is scientifically proven,” asserted Vallabhbhai Kathiria, chairperson of the Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog (RKA, national commission for cows).
He made the claim October 12 while unveiling the chip as part of ‘Kamdhenu Deepawali Abhiyan,” a nationwide campaign to promote cow-dung products during the upcoming festival season.
According to Kathiria, the “Gausatva Kavach” is “a radiation chip that can be used in mobile phones to reduce radiation. It will be safeguarded against diseases.”
The chip is produced by Shrijee Gaushala, a firm based in Rajkot in the western Indian state of Gujarat.
The RKA, set up in 2019, aims to conserve, protect and develop cows and their progeny. The commission comes under the ministry of fisheries, animal husbandry and dairying.
Kathiria appealed to people to avoid using China-made diyas this Diwali (festival of lights). He says the campaign launched by the commission will also boost the ‘Make in India’ concept of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ‘swadeshi movement.’
Diwali or Deepavali falls on November 14 this year.
