- Amit Shah inaugurates mega dairy, talks of Nandini, Amul brands cooperation
- Government led by Bommai is transferring ₹ 1250 crore annually through DBT to the accounts of milk producing farmers, also to remove malnutrition among children through the Ksheer Bhagya scheme, milk is being provided to 65 lakh children in 51,000 government schools and 39 lakh children in 64,000 Anganwadis
The Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) will get all technical support and cooperation from Amul, he said, adding that if Karnataka and Gujarat come together in this direction, it will benefit the farmers all over the country.
The Union Minister announced that he is giving an assurance from the platform of Mandya to the farmers and cooperative workers in the country that his government will not let them get cheated or meted with injustice.
“This is the decision taken by the Indian government,” he said.
“After independence, Indian farmers had demanded a separate ministry for the Cooperation sector. If someone had separated it from the ministry of Agriculture, the fate of farmers would have been different today.”
Shah explained that Prime Minister Narendra Modi fulfilled this demand finally. He maintained that Karnataka is in the forefront in the cooperative and dairy sectors.
The state had come a long way and made good progress from 1975 to 2022.
In 1975, Karnataka processed 66,000 kilo milk and now it is processing 82 lakh kilo milk. The federation’s turnover per year is 25,000 crores and nearly 80 percent of the money goes to farmers, he said.
Union Cooperation Minister appreciated the Government of Karnataka under the leadership of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai for ensuring depositing Rs 1,250 crore directly to bank accounts of milk producing farmers through DBT at the rate of Rs 5 per liter during the year.
Amit Shah said, “ The Karnataka Government led by Bommai is crediting Rs. 1,250 crore annually through DBT to the accounts of milk producing farmers and also to remove malnutrition among children through the Ksheer Bhagya scheme, milk is being provided to 65 lakh children in 51,000 government schools and 39 lakh children in 64,000 Anganwadis.”
Amit Shah congratulated the Chairman of Mandya Milk Producers Committee for his efforts to increase the income of all the farmers of Mandya district through dairy.
Former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda stated that Shah has taken note of mismanagement of cooperative societies and banks in the country and this is not a political programme, he said.
“I have great respect for Amit Shah as he has reciprocated well for the implementation of the projects in the state,” he said.
Sri Adichunchanagiri Mutt pontiff Nirmalananda Natha Swamjji, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai were present on the occasion.
