    Amid soaring fuel prices, government body suggests using cow-dung CNG
  • India's national cow commission has suggested the use of cow dung-based compressed natural gas (CNG) as a cheaper and indigenous fuel.

    The commission, called the Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog or RKA, has also encouraged "cow entrepreneurship" through bull semen banks, cow tourism, etc.

    The suggestions were made in a document uploaded to RKA's website for the "cow science examination" on February 25.

  • "The cow entrepreneurship concept got discussed in many of RKA's webinars," the document stated, "Many entrepreneurs across the globe have started exploring these evergreen possibilities utilizing new-age technology with age-old wisdom."

    "Biogas has been used for a long time as fuel. They are filled in cylinders and could be used for cooking. The energy from cow dung could also be used in transportation."

  • The RKA suggested generating cow dung-based fuel on a bigger scale, which could then progress to the establishment of CNG pumps for cheaper, made-in-India energy.

    In Delhi, petrol prices have reached Rs. 89.29 a liter, while diesel is priced at Rs. 79.70 a liter. In regions such as Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, the prices have already breached the Rs. 100-mark.

  • Among other suggestions, the RKA pitched the idea of semen banks for bulls.

    The commission highlighted that cow rearers and entrepreneurs prefer high-quality pedigree bulls and end up paying a hefty sum to procure the animals.

    Separately, it also discussed "cow hugging" for health benefits.

    It further mentioned that "cow tourism" was becoming increasingly popular in India.
