Dairy with 10 cows will be hi-tech

The breed of cows selected under the scheme will be evaluated on the basis of their production capacity and quality, so that more milk production can be achieved.
Cattle shed will be constructed

Puff panels will be used in these structures, so that the animals can be protected from the adverse effects of weather and their health remains better. Apart from this, modern training will also be given to cow farmers, so that they can manage and care for their animals using new technical means. Preference will be given to farmers with three years of experience in cow rearing. So that the benefits of the scheme can reach the real needy.
