Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Saturday launched the Doodh Protsahan Yojana and a freight subsidy scheme from the Arki Assembly constituency in Himachal Pradesh’s Solan district.
Under the Doodh Protsahan Yojana, farmers registered with private milk cooperatives and selling milk to them will receive an incentive of Rs 3 per litre, directly credited to their bank accounts via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), a statement issued here said.
The freight subsidy for milk collected by private cooperatives has been increased from Rs 1.50 to Rs 3 per litre. Sukhu said the move would benefit thousands of farmers. He added that milk processing facilities are being expanded through MilkFed.
