Mumbai: Remarks by the Director of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, V Kamakoti, where he claimed that cow urine has "anti-bacterial" and anti-fungal" properties, has been unequivocally condemned by the scientific community and activists.
The article discusses the backlash against IIT Madras Director V. Kamakoti for his comments on cow urine during a public event.

They are concerned that such endorsements from a respected academic figure could undermine scientific education and research. The controversy has sparked a broader debate on the intersection of traditional beliefs and modern science in educational institutions.
