Kamdhenu Aayog to pitch for cow education in schools
Ahmedabad: To increase the knowledge about cows among schoolchildren, the Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog plans to approach the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT).
The aayog will urge the council to include in school syllabi the varied uses and benefits of products made with cow milk, urine, and dung.
The aayog’s chairman, Vallabh Kathiria, said: “Lessons on the cow can be part of language, history, and science textbooks. We have prepared a whole set of booklets which will be handed over to the NCERT.”
The majority of the participants at a webinar organized by the aayog earlier this week said that the benefits of gomutra have been scientifically documented.
They said cow dung is used to make a wide range of products, including fuel.
The speakers, however, said that the present generation of students have little or no knowledge of the value of products from the cow.
Amitabh Bhatnagar, one of the participants, said: “That is why I wrote a book on this topic and used paper made from cow dung.”
