The Uttar Pradesh government has started a pilot project in Bulandshahr to buy cow urine from farmers through Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs). Around 500 litres are being collected daily at 15 village centres, with women receiving Rs 2 per litre as commission. The government says women could earn up to Rs 2 lakh annually. It plans to raise the procurement price to Rs 20 per litre and expand the model across the state to promote natural farming. The Samajwadi Party has criticised the move, calling it an election fund-raising scam. Party spokesperson Manoj Yadav reminded the BJP of its unfulfilled promise to generate electricity from garbage.
