After cow dung, Chhattisgarh will now buy bovine urine

In what appears to be a role reversal over cow politics in Chhattisgarh, the Congress government in the State has approved the procurement of bovine urine, and extend its Godhan Nyay Yojana.

“We will launch the pilot of the scheme under the Godhan Nyay Yojana, a part of Narva Garva Ghurva Bari initiative, under which we have already been buying cow dung and converting it into compost. We will now also buy cattle urine at ₹4 per litre. The scheme has been approved by the Cabinet and will be launched in two places in each district on July 28, the auspicious day of Hareli [a farmer’s festival],” Pradeep Sharma, planning and policy adviser to Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, said on Friday.
