The initiative will include women involved in milk procurement in formal employment, with payments made directly to their bank accounts.
The scheme aims to increase daily milk procurement from 660 lakh litres to 1,000 lakh litres through cooperative efforts.
A proposal involving two lakh primary agriculture cooperative societies (PACS), as well as dairy and fishery cooperatives, has been sent nationwide, with acceptance from all states.
The initiative aims to ensure that every panchayat has a PACS, dairy, or fisheries cooperative society, enhancing cooperative presence at local levels.
The creation of cooperative institutions at tehsil and district levels is expected to strengthen and energize state-level cooperative bodies.
