To enhance milk productivity in the state and encourage the adoption of more milch cows, minister for animal husbandry Nilkanth Harlankar has directed veterinary officers throughout Goa to promote the Kamdhenu scheme in rural Goa.
Halarnkar has urged dairy farmers to participate in the scheme, while also enticing new farmers to embrace this opportunity.
“The veterinary officers will be tasked with identifying unemployed youth at the grassroots level by December and promoting various government subsidies to them. By encouraging the people in Goa’s hinterlands to embrace the Kamdhenu scheme, we can ensure that more dairy farmers in Goa adopt it,” he said.
The Kamdhenu scheme, designed to boost milk production and dairy farming, offers financial support and incentives to farmers. It is seen as a valuable opportunity for both existing dairy farmers and newcomers to the industry.
