A Massive Gathering of Milk Producers and Cattle Keepers in Ajmer Protests Government Neglect and Demands Pending Payments.
A large number of milk producers and farmers gathered at the “Shwet Kranti Sahakar Mahakumbh” (White Revolution Cooperative Mega-Gathering) in Ajmer, India, to voice their anger and frustration with the state government. Organized by Ajmer Dairy President Ramchandra Chaudhary, the event drew a crowd of farmers and cattle keepers who accuse the government of neglecting their concerns and failing to deliver on financial commitments.
A central issue for the protesting farmers is the non-payment of dues. The article notes that the milk producers feel “betrayed” due to pending payments, which are crucial for their livelihoods. This financial distress is a major factor driving the agitation and highlights the fragile dairy economics of small-scale producers who depend on timely government support to sustain their operations.
The event, held at Ajmer’s Kachhawa Garden, also saw the participation of political figures, including Leader of the Opposition Tika Ram Jully and Dharmendra Rathore. Jully acknowledged the “serious” problems faced by the cattle keepers and accused the government of ignoring their plight. He assured the protesters that their issues would be formally raised in the Vidhan Sabha, the state legislative assembly, giving the farmers a sense of political support.
The “Mahakumbh” was described by Dharmendra Rathore as a symbol of unity among the farmers. He issued a warning that if the producers’ demands were not met promptly, their agitation could escalate. The protestors, in turn, passed a resolution vowing to continue their demonstrations until all pending payments are cleared and their problems are officially addressed, signaling a long-term commitment to their cause.
This unified show of force by the milk producers serves as a potent case study for the international dairy community, demonstrating the power of grassroots organization in advocating for farmer welfare. The event underscores the critical relationship between producers, the government, and the dairy industry, and how financial and political neglect can lead to widespread discontent and organized protest.
