Objectives of the scheme

  • To modernise the milk processing plants and machinery and to create additional infrastructure for processing more milk.
  • To create additional milk processing capacity for increased value addition by producing more dairy products.
  • To bring efficiency in dairy processing plants/producer owned and controlled dairy institutions, thereby enabling optimum value of milk to milk producer farmers and supply of quality milk to consumers.
  • To help the producer owned and controlled institutions to increase their share of milk, thereby providing greater opportunities of ownership, management and market access to rural milk producers in the organised milk market.
  • To help the producer owned and controlled institutions to consolidate their position as dominant player in the organised liquid milk market and to make increased price realisation to milk producers.
