The government is advancing a mission-driven approach to increase milk output, combining investment, innovation, and stakeholder participation. Central to this plan is a commitment to procure all milk produced—both cow and buffalo—and ensure fair pricing for livestock farmers, alongside broader efforts to enhance income stability across the dairy value chain.

A series of infrastructure and animal health initiatives were announced, including a new Animal Wellness Centre in Gwalior, upgrades to existing veterinary services, and a new hospital in Dabra. These measures aim to improve livestock productivity and welfare, supported by expanded subsidies such as increased feed assistance and financial incentives for establishing cowsheds.

The state is also promoting integrated rural development through programs like the “Vrindavan Gram” initiative in every block, as well as collaboration with the National Dairy Development Board to scale milk collection. Daily procurement has already risen significantly, with ambitious targets to further expand volumes while improving breed quality and farm practices.
