Cows are vital for farm economy due to gobar which enriches the soil and gaumutra, which acts as both fertiliser and antiseptic. Organic farming depends heavily on cowdung. But that’s not all: entrepreneurs across the world are making furniture and other products from cowdung.
This is a student from Birmingham.

From Switzerland.

From India. A machine that converts cowdung into strong wood-like logs, a potentially amazing and cheap solution to deforestation for wood.

High end international eco furniture design with cowdung as one of the components.

Paint based on cowdung. Was launched by @nitin_gadkari earlier this year.

Nitin Gadkari has in fact declared himself the brand ambassador for this paint. 🙂

Diyas and pots made from cowdung. They can’t make them fast enough to keep up with the demand.

I have stopped using agarbatti at home as it triggers cough. Switched to this excellent dhoop made from cowdung and naturally scented oil. Was skeptical at first, but it’s a great product.
Highly recommend it.
Also for a range of cosmetic products based on cowdung, you can check out cowpathy.com a Mumbai based store that also sells online.
Can’t end this thread without introducing you to my beloved cows, Ganga and Nandini 🙂

Standard policy of the state govt and BMC is to do audit, detect serious lapses, promise funds to rectify them, and then do absolutely nothing further till next audit. This is only the latest, several have already been done earlier with similar results. Short thread follows.
Audit from April 2021 - same story. It will cost 150 crores to rectify, money is no problem etc etc. and then nothing done.
m.timesofindia.com/city/mumbai/fi…
Fire audit from Jan to March 2021 - again the same story. Lapses, we will rectify and take action etc.
Nothing done.

CoWin is a top class portal for vaccination. Have seen it functioning from both ends: as a person availing vaccination for self and family, and from the perspective of our hospital being a vaccination centre. But some aspects of the portal make it even more special.
Short thread.
The portal has a special provision for people with disabilities. They don’t need to submit any document at all, only enter their unique disability registration number and that’s it. Contrary to popular belief, you can get vaccinated without aadhar.
If your certificate has errors, you can apply online for corrections. If you’re travelling you can add your passport details in your certificate. If you accidentally got two first dose certificates, you can get them merged. And of course you can easily download your certificate.

While Uwe Hahn has been a great athlete and coach, he cannot be given credit for Neeraj Chopra’s Olympic performance as Neeraj had stopped training with him since 2019. The rightful credit goes to Bartonietz who has been with him all the way. hindustantimes.com/sports/olympic…
Also Hohn had quit as coach of the Indian Olympic team before #Olympics2020 due to differences with the sports authorities on remuneration terms, and joined Australia as women’s team coach.
But more importantly, his wards Shivpal Singh and others were also unhappy with him.
Shivpal Singh was upset that Hohn made radical changes to their throwing style but more upset with his behaviour on overseas trips. He also alleged that Hohn coached players from other countries on the side, a serious conflict of interest.

Just finished reading the 163-page Task Force Report. Did not want to post my opinion without reading it, and my considered view after reading it is that Delhi ka raja is the most pathetic scumbag ever to occupy the Delhi CM chair. Just one image should explain why.
This table sums up the reason for the dispute. Data given by Delhi govt added upto 1140MT, even though Delhi govt itself calculated it as 391-568MT. There was obviously some major mistake, as excess demand came from just four hospitals: Singhal, Aruna Asaf Ali, Liferay and ESIC.
This is the justification given by Delhi govt - that GOI calculation was an underestimate as it took only 50% of non-ICU beds as oxygen beds. I would probably agree with this point. But the supply was actually done as per the Delhi govt's estimate and not the GOI's.

Let’s pause for a minute to see how big a violation of the law this is.
It seems donations (domestic or international) are being channelled to the lady’s personal account. Individuals cannot take donations, it’s completely illegal.
opindia.com/2021/05/rana-a…
If any funds have been collected as donations by an individual, it is illegal and punishable by jail term. If it is crowdfunding for a cause, the funds going to the individuals account will not count as donation. It will be accounted as their personal income in tax books.
If an unregistered body accepts foreign funds, it constitutes a grave violation of the FCRA Act and is again punishable by jail term. If an individual channels funds from overseas into their own account, it’s their income. Donor is cheated by labelling it donation.

I’m bringing some good news today on the rural vaccine hesitancy front. But first, a short summary of our visit to a cluster of tribal villages at the base of Bhimashankar on Friday for planning our next series of rural health projects. #Thread
These tribal villages are the last cluster in Raigad district, before Pune District. About 15km from Kashele. On virtual meeting with locals, we got an impression that health related requirements were not significant. But site visit showed a completely different picture.
Most deliveries even today at this cluster are done at home. Emergency care is non existent because:
No ambulance services
Poorly equipped and staffed “district hospital” at Kashele which is hardly better than a PHC
Most patients get referred to either Karjat or Mumbai.
