At a meeting held in Rampur Mohalla, Nai Basti near Satwari Chowk in Jammu, Sabha President S. Manjit Singh and Youth Wing District President Shivam Choudhary urged authorities to secure land parcels where dairy operators can establish facilities for milk production, processing and allied services. The request is part of a local push to formalize and expand milk supply chains in the region.

Leaders emphasized that without access to designated industrial plots, small and medium-scale dairy entrepreneurs struggle to invest confidently in farm infrastructure, chilling units, milk collection centres or value-added processing units. Such limitations, they argued, also affect job creation and long-term dairy sector growth prospects in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Sabha’s appeal reflects ongoing grassroots advocacy for public-sector support to dairy value chains, aligning with broader national conversations about empowering producers and enhancing rural agribusiness ecosystems. Allocating land for dairy operations could improve logistics for farmers, processors and distributors by centralizing production hubs.
