CM Bhagwant Mann Announces Monthly Milk Competition to Boost Dairy Farming in Punjab
The program is expected to strengthen the dairy sector in Punjab, motivate farmers to improve milk production and quality, and provide recognition to outstanding dairy farmers. By incentivizing innovation and excellence in livestock management, the state aims to make dairy farming a more profitable and sustainable livelihood for farmers.
With this step, the Mann government continues its focus on supporting agriculture and allied sectors, ensuring economic growth and prosperity for rural communities across Punjab.
Training sessions and workshops are planned alongside the competitions to educate farmers
The competition will also include awards and recognition for farmers who demonstrate the best practices in cattle care, hygiene, and milk quality. Officials from the Department of Animal Husbandry will supervise the events to ensure transparency and fairness. Training sessions and workshops are planned alongside the competitions to educate farmers on modern dairy techniques, feed management, and disease prevention.
This initiative is part of a broader effort by the Punjab government to modernize the livestock sector, increase productivity, and improve the income of rural households. By highlighting successful farmers and creating a culture of healthy competition, the program is expected to inspire more youth to take up dairy farming as a viable and sustainable career option.
CM Bhagwant Mann emphasized that such measures will not only boost the state’s milk production but also strengthen Punjab’s position as a leading dairy hub in India.
