Additionally, there was an 8.5% loan interest subsidy for a period of five years on loans taken, and a subsidy of Rs. 43,200 was available for insurance premium payments.

UNDER PROGRESSIVE ENTERPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME A STEP TOWARDS COMMERCIAL DAIRY FARMING:

To achieve success in any business, it is essential to have foundational training. In our region, milk producers are involved in this business by raising a substantial number of milching animals. To make dairy husbandry a profitable venture, it's crucial to leverage the experiences of successful milk producers and incorporate technical guidance from experts to maintain scientific standards. By encouraging these milk producers to expand their businesses and become role models for others, a five-day intensive training program has been designed. This program includes a comprehensive technical manual and, for a more practical understanding, visits to large and successful dairy farms in other districts have been given top priority by the Union.

In our area, there are 331 milk producers who supply more than 50 liters of milk are included in this program. Each month, experts from our union offer on-site farm consultancy during their visits to these farms to improve the profitability of animal husbandry businesses. We are moving forward with a clear vision, intending to include more such milk producers in the coming years, with the potential to double their income.
