Sanchi urges MP govt to include milk in mid-day meal

Indore: Madhya Pradesh State Cooperative Dairy Federation has appealed state govt to include milk in its mid-day meal and aganwadi schemes since it is receiving more than 30 per cent surplus milk daily.

The federation assistant general manager Aseem Nigam said, “Milk supplies are high. We are collecting around 30 per cent more milk everyday. As against the daily sale of close to 7 lakh litre in the state, we are getting around 10 lakh litre.

This gap has resulted in mounting stocks. So, We have urged govt to include milk in the mid-day meal scheme.” More than 2.5 lakh farmers across 10,000 villages in Madhya Pradesh are associated with the federation.
