Presiding over a high-level ministerial review in Itanagar, Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein demanded a critical and transparent audit of past agricultural initiatives that failed to generate lasting economic results. Mein urged departmental heads to pinpoint exact past shortcomings while designing a highly practical, commercially viable production blueprint. To accelerate the transition, the regional administration confirmed that the state’s highest budgetary and legislative priorities will be directed toward technical proposals engineered to achieve complete domestic milk self-sufficiency.

In response to this executive directive, the Department of Animal Husbandry, Veterinary & Dairy Development (AHV&DD) presented a data-driven master plan detailing historical milk yields, revenue tracking, and future production forecasts. This strategic roadmap incorporates the formal recommendations of a high-level task force to eliminate processing barriers and capitalize on expanding liquid milk markets. Officials highlighted that the domestic dairy sector requires immediate, state-backed processing interventions to satisfy escalating consumer demand, including the large-volume fluid requirements of paramilitary forces stationed throughout the strategic border state.

Departmental data identified the complete absence of an integrated regional cold chain network as the primary structural bottleneck crippling local dairy development. To unlock trapped production potential, the incoming corporate roadmap prioritizes the rapid installation of decentralized milk collection and village chilling centers alongside specialized transport logistics and fluid distribution networks. Furthermore, the state plans to formally execute Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with established dairy cooperatives to inject immediate technical training, processing stability, and organized market linkages into the state’s expanding milksheds.
