Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that, along with increasing milk production, equal emphasis must be placed on better branding of dairy products, proper cattle care, training in the veterinary sector and development of advanced infrastructure. He directed that the expertise of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) be utilised to the fullest in these areas. By 2030, dairy network expansion must be ensured to 26,000 villages of the state, leading to the collection of 52 lakh kilograms of milk. To ensure optimal utilisation of the enhanced milk collection, state-of-the-art dairy processing infrastructure should be developed and dairy products from Madhya Pradesh must be established with strong national-level branding.
CM Dr. Yadav was addressing a meeting at Mantralaya on Tuesday regarding the activities of NDDB and the state’s milk unions.
