New Delhi, Nov 22 (KNN) National Dairy Development Board has sanctioned 42 sub-projects with a total outlay of Rs. 22102.72 lakh for 12 States, namely, Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and West Bengal.
Out of this amount Rs 15895.02 lakh has been sanctioned as grant assistance and Rs 6207.70 lakh as share of End Implementing Agencies (EIAs), an official release said.
These 42 sub-projects would be implemented for activities like fodder development (9 projects), ration balancing programme (13 projects), village based milk procurement system (14 projects), embryo transfer (4 projects), import of bulls (1 project) and strengthening of semen station (1 project).
The projects have been sanctioned under the National Dairy Plan-I (NDP-I), which was launched during March 2012 for implementation during 2011-12 to 2016-17 with the objective to help increase the productivity of milch animals and thereby increase milk production to meet the rapidly growing demand for milk.
The projects would also help provide rural milk producers with greater access to the organised milk-processing sector.
The scheme is being implemented by NDDB through end implementing agencies (EIAs) comprising State Government, State Livestock Boards, State Cooperative Dairy Federations, District Cooperative Milk Producer Unions, Cooperative forms of enterprises such as Producer Companies, Trusts (NGO’s, Section 25 companies), subsidiary of statutory bodies, ICAR Institutes and Veterinary/Dairy Institutes/Universities and any other entity as may be decided by the National Steering Committee to be set up under the Plan.
NDP-I would focus on areas with higher potential in the 14 major milk producing States of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Kerala constituting 90 per cent of the milk production. Coverage of NDP I will however be across the country in terms of benefits accruing from the scheme. (KNN/ES)
