A 13-year-old school girl studying in 8^th class generated electricity from cow’s urine. Sakshi Dashora, a student of Gadvada Vyas Academy, Mavli made a project ‘Importance of cow breed in 21^st century’ entailing the scientific use of cow’s urine and cow dung.

Under Ministry of Science and Technology’s Inspire Award, the project will get international recognition. This project will be represented in Japan at a 7-day seminar after 2 months. Sakshi will be giving a lecture at the event.

Sakshi informed that cow urine has sodium, potassium, magnesium, sulphur and phosphorous. In her project, she immersed copper and aluminum electrode in one liter urine which was attached to LED watch via wires.
