Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that animal husbandry plays a vital role in increasing farmers’ income. The state government is undertaking inclusive initiatives and innovations to boost milk production, promote the conservation and development of cattle, and encourage livestock farmers, with the aim of making Madhya Pradesh the country’s Milk Capital. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that the CM Vrindavan Gram Yojana, being implemented across all 208 rural Assembly constituencies, would serve as a model and inspiration for other villages. The initiative is expected to play a significant role in expanding cattle rearing and milk production across the state. He directed all concerned departments to work in coordination for the effective implementation of the scheme.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav issued these directions while reviewing the scheme at a meeting held at Mantralaya. Water Resources Minister Shri Tulsiram Silawat, Revenue Minister Shri Karan Singh Verma and Chief Secretary Shri Ashok Barnwal attended the meeting. The meeting was informed that milk cooperatives had been formed in 129 villages, with dairy union activities underway in 70 of them. The Animal Husbandry and Dairy Department is bringing all Vrindavan Gram villages under the Ksheer Sagar Yojana, which will cover activities such as breed improvement, animal nutrition and veterinary care. The meeting also reviewed the gaushalas operating in Vrindavan Gram villages and the initiatives being undertaken for their development.
