DAIRY DEVELOPMENT

PROGRAM

Comments on Dairy Development Project

Dairy development has a good potential in the region as the economy of the people depends on the rain fed agriculture and livestock rearing. In Churu comparatively larger land holdings are available for grazing.The dairy activities will improve the socio economic conditions of the people in the villages of Churu district. In an effort to remove the poverty dairy routes particularly in the more remote places is required. Further the competitive price for the milk along with the animal care services at the remote village should also be given top priority.

Implemented by BCT

This activity was initiated by Trust during February 2002 – June 2004 to provide a sustainable and regular income to the farmers of the region. Milk was collected from 90 villages of Rajgarh block and, during the peak period, average milk collection was 10000 liters/day. Presently, Dairy Union is continuing this program.
