The project is backed by a substantial investment, with a total financial outlay of 22.75 crore. This funding is a joint effort between the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) and the government of Kerala. This partnership between a national development organization and a state government highlights the institutional commitment to this long-term vision, ensuring that the initiative has the necessary capital and support to be effective and scalable across the region.

The multi-phased initiative will be implemented over a three-year period and will focus on several key areas to boost milk yield. The article notes that the plan includes improving cattle health and welfare, providing quality cattle feed, and offering interest-free loans to farmers. These measures are designed to not only increase production but also to improve the overall operational efficiency and profitability for the producers, a critical factor for the long-term success of any agribusiness venture.

Leadership from the project is confident in its potential. Milma Chairman K.S. Mani is quoted, stating that they are “taking strong steps” to make the state self-sufficient and expressing confidence in the project’s success. The article also mentions that a pilot project has already been launched in the Nedumudi Panchayat in the Alappuzha district, and a committee, chaired by Mani himself, has been formed to monitor its progress. This shows that the plan is already in motion and being actively managed.
