Prefer on

Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying (DAHD) is implementing “National Programme for Dairy Development (NPDD)”scheme across the country since Feb-2014. The scheme has been restructured/ realigned in July 2021 for implementation from 2021-22 to 2025-26with the following two components:

(i)   The Component ''A'' of NPDD focuses on creating/strengthening of infrastructure for quality milk testing equipment as well as primary chilling facilities for State Cooperative Dairy Federations/ District Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union/SHGs/Milk Producer Companies/Farmer Producer Organizations.

(ii) The Component ‘B’ of the NPDD scheme "Dairying through Cooperatives” aims to increase sale of milk and dairy products by increasing farmer’s access to organized market, upgrading dairy processing facilities and marketing infrastructure and enhancing the capacity of producer owned institutions.

Details of major achievements of the NPDD scheme since its inception are as follows:

  1. 19.09 lakh additional farmers enrolled, 22,865 dairy cooperative societies (DCS) organised/revived and 111.04 Lakh Kilogram per day additional milk procured.
  2. 47,857 Dairy Cooperative Societies at village level equipped with Automatic milk collection units/Data processing units and Milk Analysers and 6,266 Dairy Cooperative Societies at village level (cluster level) equipped with Electronic Milk Adulteration Testing Equipment.
  3. 5125 Bulk Milk Coolers with 113.30 lakh litres cooling capacity created at village level dairy cooperatives.
  4. 27.53 lakh litre per day milk processing and 30 metric tonnes of Value Added Products Capacity created and about 82 dairy plants strengthened/refurbished.
  5. 231 cooperative dairy plants at district/regional level (not having electronic adulteration testing equipment) equipped for adulteration detection equipments and 15 State Central Laboratories approved/equipped to test all Milk Parameters, Adulterants, Residues, Heavy Metals, Microbiological etc.
  6. 25 Milk Parlors and 4 Walk–in-cold Store have been established and 125 Visi-Coolers and 1234 Deep Freezer have been installed for strengthening marketing infrastructure.
  7. The above interventions have contributed to improvement in milk quality and minimising loss/wastage.
In addition to various programmes/schemes/initiatives of State, Union Territories and DAHD, Government of India, NPDD had also contributed in increasing Milk Production in the country from 146.31 MMT in 2014-15 to 230.58 MMT in 2022-23.

 

NPDD scheme is not beneficiary oriented. However, indirect benefits to the enrolled Milk Producers/farmer-members of dairy cooperatives /milk producer institutions etc., are provided through State Milk Federations/Unions/Producer Companies thereby increasing their income.
