00:00In Assam, we have decided three years back
00:28that will produce 10 lakhs liter milk for daily processing.
00:39There are already, we actually produce more milk, but those are for domestic consumption.
00:47But we want to process 10 lakhs liter of milk every day through the processing plant
00:55so that we can produce a lot of value-added product.
01:00We started with a small beginning.
01:05Last year, at this time, we have inaugurated a plant where capacity was 1.5 liter.
01:13Today, we are doing a bhumi pujan, whereby NDDB will increase the milk processing capacity
01:21of this plant to 3 lakhs liter.
01:24Simultaneously, government of Assam and NDDB jointly, we are already working in Silshar,
01:31Dibrugar, Tespur and Dhamaji and Jorhan for setting up more processing units.
01:40Amul is also coming forward to start a processing unit with daily capacity of 1 lakhs liter.
01:51So, I firmly believe that within the next three to four years, Assam will have the capacity
01:59of 10 lakhs liter milk processing capacity daily.
02:05In addition, Assam has launched a new scheme.
02:12We are going to give rupees 5 against per liter of milk which is produced by our cooperatives.
02:20So, that scheme will straightway benefit 20,000 farmers and I am very happy that Assam has
02:27started a new scheme targeting the specific goal of increasing milk production.
02:33So, this subsidy scheme will definitely contribute in enhancing the total milk production in our
02:40state.
02:41And I am sure that Assam will achieve the target.
02:42So, this subsidy scheme will definitely contribute in enhancing the total milk production in our
02:46state.
02:47And I am sure that Assam will achieve the target in a very short period of time.
03:08So, this subsidy will also be able to increase the amount of milk production.
03:15So, this subsidy will also be able to increase the amount of milk production.
03:17Thank you very much.
