Under the partnership, NDDB will provide technical support and institutional expertise to help enhance dairy productivity. The initiative aims to improve breeding programs, strengthen milk collection infrastructure and expand processing capabilities to better integrate small farmers into organized dairy supply chains.

Officials say the collaboration will play a key role in supporting rural livelihoods in Himachal Pradesh, where dairy farming represents an important supplemental income for many households. By improving efficiency and value addition within the sector, the program seeks to raise profitability for dairy producers and support long-term agricultural development.

The agreement also emphasizes capacity building and training for farmers and cooperative members. By adopting improved dairy management practices and modern technologies, producers are expected to increase milk yields while maintaining quality standards required for competitive dairy markets.
