Central to this transformative agreement is the provision of high-yielding cattle to local dairy farmers. The NDDB will supply approximately 4,000 top-tier cows, including renowned breeds such as Gir and Sahiwal, alongside other high-performing cross-bred varieties. This strategic infusion of superior genetics is designed to significantly enhance milk yield per animal, directly contributing to increased overall milk production and economic benefits for individual dairy producers.

Beyond just animal supply, the pact also emphasizes sustainable practices within dairy farming. With assistance from the NDDB, a dedicated cow dung gas plant will be established. This innovative facility will serve a dual purpose: generating clean fuel for energy needs and producing valuable organic fertilizer. Such initiatives promote a circular economy model, reducing environmental impact while simultaneously providing additional income streams and supporting sustainable dairy development.

The government has set ambitious targets for milk production growth in Odisha. The current output of 72 lakh litres is projected to more than double, reaching 165 lakh litres by 2036. Looking further ahead, the long-term vision aims for a monumental increase to 274 lakh litres by 2047. These targets underscore the state’s commitment to becoming a major player in India’s dairy industry and ensuring food security through increased domestic supply.
