Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has stated that our resolve is to increase milk production from 9 percent to 20 percent in the state. For this, it is essential to ensure that the benefit of the expertise of the National Dairy Development Board in the dairy sector is equally available to the entire state. Consultancy should be provided to both cooperative unions and private dairy operators as required. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav mentioned that to increase milk production in the state, the process of bringing better breeds of cows and buffaloes from other states and making them available to farmers should be simplified and made more convenient. It is also essential to ensure that dairy products should only go outside the state after value addition to the milk produced in the state.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav was reviewing actions taken after the agreement between the National Dairy Development Board and the M.P. State Cooperative Dairy Federation at the Samatv Bhavan. The meeting was attended by Minister of State for Animal Husbandry and Dairy (Independent Charge) Shri Lakhan Patel, Chief Secretary Shri Anurag Jain, Additional Chief Secretary Dr. Rajesh Rajoura, National Dairy Development Board's head Shri Minesh Shah, Executive Director Shri S. Raghupathi, General Manager Shri Sanjay Gobani, and other officials.
