There is always a demand for milk and its products across the country. But the supply of milk is always less than the demand. In view of this shortage of milk, the government is trying to increase milk production through government schemes that benefit farmers. Many such schemes are being run by the government with the help of which dairy business is provided help. The name of one such scheme is “Nandini Krishak Samridhi Yojana”, through this, a bumper subsidy is given to the farmers wishing to open a dairy.
Through this scheme, the government gives 50% of the total cost as a subsidy for starting a dairy business with 25 milch cows. The government has fixed the cost of Rs 62,50,000 for setting up a dairy business with 25 milch cows. This means that the farmer taking advantage of this scheme will get a maximum subsidy of up to Rs 31,25,000. Under this scheme, benefits are available on rearing cows of Gir, Sahiwal, Tharparkar and Gangatiri species. It is worth noting that this scheme is being run by the Uttar Pradesh government, so farmers and milk producers of this state can also take its benefits.
