A proposal is being made to give preference to children and dependents of dairy farmers in recruitment to various posts in Milma. The proposal will be applied to all vacancies from the Managing Director and below. Malabar Milma’s decision will be implemented by giving weightage marks in competitive exams.
The decision approved by the general meeting is under the consideration of the government. The Dairy Development Department has taken steps and will come up with a decision after examining the legal aspects.
In MILMA, hitherto, no such priorities were offered to the children of dairy farmers. However, reservations have been made for employees of dairy cooperative societies. The Malabar Milma Management Committee asserted their claim and made a strong appeal for reform as they said MILMA turned into such a sprawling business cooperation with the sweat of many such dairy farmers.
If implemented in Malabar, it will pave the way for implementation in Ernakulam and Thiruvananthapuram regional unions as well. In Malabar Milma, children of dairy farmers are given preference for temporary jobs such as plant attendants.
