New Delhi: Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog (RKA) chairman Vallabhbhai Kathiria displayed a ”chip” made of cow dung claiming that it will reduce radiation from mobile handsets and also safeguard against diseases if kept in phones.

“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,” Kathiria told reporters.

He was speaking during the launch of a nationwide campaign ”Kamdhenu Deepawali Abhiyan”, aimed at promoting cow dung products.

The ”chip”, named Gausatva Kavach, has been developed by Rajkot-based Shrijee Gaushala.

Set up in 2019, the RKA aims to conserve and protect India’s cattle population.

The Aayog, which comes under the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, has started a nation-wide campaign to encourage the use of cow dung-based products during festivals.

Vallabhbhai Kathiria further appealed to people to avoid using China-made diyas this Diwali, stating that the campaign launched by the RKA will also boost the ”Make in India” concept of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ”swadeshi movement”.
