July 2: Assam has set a target of producing 10 lakh litres of milk per day to strengthen its dairy sector and boost rural livelihoods.
The initiative aims to increase milk production by improving dairy infrastructure, expanding milk collection and processing facilities, and promoting modern dairy farming practices. The government also plans to support farmers through better breeding programmes and enhanced animal healthcare services.
Officials believe the initiative will help reduce dependence on milk imports, generate employment, and improve the income of dairy farmers, while contributing to the long-term growth of Assam’s livestock and agricultural sectors.
