Nand Baba Milk Mission Scheme

June 7, 2023

In an effort to bolster milk development and production in Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has launched the Nand Baba Milk Mission. With a budget of Rs 1,000 crore, this initiative aims to empower milk producers and provide them with opportunities to sell their milk at reasonable prices through dairy co-operative societies.

Objective and Empowering Milk Producers

The primary objective of the Nand Baba Milk Mission is to empower milk producers in Uttar Pradesh. By establishing dairy co-operative societies, the mission aims to provide producers with a fair and reasonable price for their milk, thereby ensuring their economic well-being.

Establishment of Dairy Farmer Producer Organizations (Dairy FPOs)

As part of the Nand Baba Milk Mission, there is a proposed plan to set up Dairy Farmer Producer Organizations (Dairy FPOs) in 5 districts of the state. These organizations will play a crucial role in facilitating the sale of milk directly in producers’ villages. The involvement of women in Dairy FPOs is an important aspect of the plan, promoting gender inclusivity and empowerment.

Strengthening Rural Economy and Agro-based Infrastructure

The Dairy Development Department is leading the efforts to strengthen the rural economy and ensure remunerative prices for farmers’ milk. Through the establishment of Dairy FPOs, the mission aims to enhance the sale of milk in villages, contributing to the growth of the agro-based infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh.
