Madhya Pradesh pushes milk cooperatives, Gaushalas, and veterinary services under CM Dr. Mohan Yadav ’s new dairy development initiatives.

Dr. Mohan Yadav, the chief minister, has instructed that Gaupalan be encouraged throughout the state. The number of milk cooperative societies must steadily rise, and the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairy should strive to double milk production in all of its initiatives. Over the last two years, dairy development has made significant strides, and these efforts need to continue.

These directions were given by Chief Minister Dr. Yadav on Tuesday at a review meeting at the Secretariat of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairy. Departmental officials, Principal Secretary for Animal Husbandry and Dairy Shri Umakant Umrao, Additional Chief Secretary to the Chief Minister Shri Neeraj Mandloi, Chief Secretary Shri Anurag Jain, and Minister of State for Animal Husbandry and Dairy (Independent Charge) Shri Lakhan Patel attended the meeting. The gathering noted that 585 formerly dormant milk cooperative organizations were resurrected and that almost 1,000 new ones had been established in the preceding year.

Pay Attention to Veterinary Services

Dr. Yadav, the chief minister, emphasized the value of veterinary care and demanded that veterinary services be expanded. He said that having enough veterinarians and support staff will create job chances for young people. The Chief Minister examined the state’s 1,065 veterinary hospitals and dispensaries as of right now.
