“You must have heard a few days ago that actor Akshay Kumar… has eaten cow dung. You can eat it. It is a medicine. But we’ve forgotten about our science, ”Kathiria said, referring to the actor’s recent comments that he drinks cow urine every day for“ Ayurvedic ”reasons.
“Now we have started a research project. We want to have research on these topics that we consider a myth, ”said Kathiria.

When asked if the government provided funding for the development of cow dung chips, Kathiria said: “Our concept is to popularize the anti-radiation properties of cow dung … It protects from radiation from mobile phones.” When asked if the chips are certified by a government lab, Kathiria said: “These are not certified, but tested.
