Overview
- The Madhya Pradesh-funded project at Nanaji Deshmukh Veterinary Science University launched in 2011 with Rs 3.5 crore to study Panchagavya for treating serious illnesses, including cancer.
- Investigators allege about Rs 1.92 crore was spent on cow products and basic materials that should have cost roughly Rs 15–20 lakh at market rates.
- The report questions non-approved spending, including a vehicle worth around Rs 7.5 lakh, further fuel and maintenance costs, furniture and electronics near Rs 15 lakh, and 23–24 air trips.
- The inquiry says the project produced limited documented outcomes, with no significant breakthrough reported over the years under review.
- University officials deny wrongdoing, citing open tenders, audits and full documentation, while authorities weigh administrative or legal action after the divisional review.
