Community Dairy Farming (Amended 2021 )

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.
