COMMUNITY DAIRY FARMING SCHEME (AMENDED 2021)
INTRODUCTION
Government has noticed that the small units of around 10 cow dairy farms are not much profitable to take up as a business entrepreneur. The farmers with limited land holding also find it difficult to expand the existing units due to scarcity of land and other infrastructure requirements. After going through the feasibility of the schemes, a concept of community dairy farming has been under consideration for long time to facilitate group of people coming together with a common intention to take up dairy farming on a community basis with common infrastructure support.
