Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah today announced that the government is aiming to boost the income of cattle rearers by twenty per cent over the next five years by implementing a circular economy model in the dairy sector.

 

The Minister made the announcement while addressing a public meeting in Sanadar, Gujarat, after inaugurating a Bio-CNG and Fertiliser Plant of Banas Dairy and performing the groundbreaking ceremony for a state-of-the-art 150 TPD Milk Powder and Baby Food Plant of Banas Dairy.

 

 Highlighting the successful implementation of the circular economy by Banas Dairy, Mr. Shah reiterated that the government is working to replicate this model across all dairies in India. 

 

The Minister vowed to ensure the success of White Revolution 2.0, focusing on four major targets: the National Gokul Mission, Animal Husbandry infrastructure, National Animal Disease Control Programme, and revamped dairy development. 

 
The Minister noted that a delegation of parliamentarians is currently visiting Banas Dairy to review the growth story of Asia’s largest dairy.

 

The Union Home Minister is scheduled to chair the 3rd meeting of the Parliamentary Consultative Committee of the Ministry of Cooperation at Banas Dairy later today.

He will then visit the new Bio-CNG and Fertiliser Plant at Agthala and hold an interaction with women milk producers.

The Minister is also slated to review livestock initiatives and visit the oil mill, flour, and honey plant facilities in Palanpur, Banaskantha.
