Uttar Pradesh Launches Pilot Cow Urine Collection Project Amid Opposition Criticism
The Uttar Pradesh government has launched a pilot project in Bulandshahr to collect cow urine from farmers across 15 villages, aiming to boost rural incomes and use the urine as an agricultural input potentially replacing chemicals. Around 500 litres are collected daily, with plans to raise the purchase price from Rs 10 to Rs 20 per litre. Rural women earn commissions by assisting in collection. The opposition Samajwadi Party criticized the scheme, alleging it is a political scam, while officials emphasize its economic and environmental benefits.
