| Yogi Govt takes several initiatives to support cattle farmers | | |  Agencies
Lucknow, Dec 9: As per the Basic Animal Husbandry Statistics 2023-24, India’s total milk production has reached 239.30 million tonnes, with Uttar Pradesh leading the nation by contributing approximately 16% of the total output—the highest among all states.
Following Uttar Pradesh are Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Punjab. This data highlights Uttar Pradesh’s continued supremacy in milk production.
A key reason for Uttar Pradesh’s continued dominance in milk production is the personal interest of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in the dairy sector and the steps taken for the welfare of the cattle farmers at both the state and district levels.
The government has introduced awards such as Nand Baba and Gokul awards to honour progressive cattle farmers.
Recently, the Australian government expressed its willingness to collaborate with the state government to boost milk production through breed improvement. To support this effort, the Yogi government is implementing sex selection technology, which boasts a 90 per cent likelihood of producing female calves.
Additionally, the upcoming Government Veterinary College in Gorakhpur is expected to play a significant role in strengthening the breed improvement initiatives.
PCDF and Milk Union urged to realize the slogan “Prosperity Through Cooperation”
The slogan “Prosperity Through Cooperation” is the government’s guiding principle, highlighting the transformative potential of collaboration in the dairy sector. The success of Amul, the world’s strongest dairy brand, stands as a testament to the power of cooperation, and the government is focusing on implementing this model. |
