The National Program for Dairy Development also seeks to increase organised milk procurement, processing, value addition, and marketing while also raising the quality of milk and milk products.
The Intensive Dairy Development Programme, Strengthening Infrastructure for Quality and Clean Milk Production, and Assistance to Cooperatives were combined to form the NPDD, which was introduced in February 2014.
To improve the quality of milk and milk products and increase the share of organised procurement, processing, value addition, and marketing, NPDD was restructured in July 2021. This restructuring will take effect between 2021–2022 and 2025–2026.
The minister asserted that the country’s milk production climbed from 146.31 million tonnes in 2014–15 to 221.1 million tonnes as a result of the department’s implementation of these programmes.
