Uttar Pradesh, India chief minister issues directions for improved operations of cooperative dairy organisation

To boost cooperative dairy in Uttar Pradesh, India, the state's Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, has issued directions to enhance the operations of the Pradeshik Cooperative Dairy Federation.

Reviewing plans to expand its reach and increase its membership on December 2, Adityanath said there should be healthy competition among milk cooperative societies and dairy unions.

He added that employees associated with milk cooperative societies should receive the necessary training for their work so that cooperatives can be run efficiently. Milk cooperative societies should establish communication with every village and farmer to enhance their operations, while farmers should be made aware of maintaining high-yield dairy animals to increase milk production.

Adityanath stated that farmers should be scientifically trained in the care and management of dairy animals.

"Women play a crucial role in all these activities, and the dairy sector has proven to be a powerful means of enhancing self-reliance for women," he said. "The Balini Milk Producer in the Bundelkhand region is a prime example of this. The participation of women in milk cooperative societies and dairy unions should be further encouraged."

To ensure the proper working of the cooperatives, the chief minister stressed the need to fix accountability at every level in dairy unions and establish work targets. The capacity for milk collection should also be increased, and the quality testing of milk should be improved.
