Lucknow News: In a groundbreaking move towards combating plastic pollution, the Uttar Pradesh government headed by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has launched an initiative to turn cow dung from stray cattle—54 lakh kg generated daily—into sustainable products like bioplastics, bio-polymers, bio-textiles, eco-friendly clothing, paper, board, biogas, compost, and nanocellulose. The innovative step not only combats plastic pollution, but also promotes rural employment, organic farming, and energy self-reliance under the “Har Gaon Urja Kendra” model. 

Chairman of the Gau Seva Commission, Shyam Bihari Gupta, emphasized that the scheme is a direct reflection of the Chief Minister’s model for rural energy and economic empowerment. Dr. Anurag Srivastava, OSD of the Gau Seva Commission, informed that Dr. Shuchi Verma, Assistant Professor (Biotechnology) at Ramjas College, University of Delhi, is the technical advisor to the project. She has developed an effective technology for producing bioplastic from cow dung and has presented her research to the Commission.

This pioneering initiative is expected to generate employment for lakhs of rural youth and provide entrepreneurial opportunities for women, while also generating revenue for the state government. It will make gaushalas self-reliant and catalyze strengthening the rural economy.

Cow protection remains a top priority for Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. With this innovative step, Uttar Pradesh is not only setting an example in tackling plastic pollution. Still, it is also poised to emerge as a national and global model for environmental sustainability.
