The Centre on Tuesday said consultation with State governments is in progress for finalising the National Dairy Plan (NDP), which aims to achieve 180 million tonnes of milk production by 2021-22.
“Consultation with State governments is in progress for finalisation of NDP-Phase 1,” the Minister of state for Agriculture and Food Processing, Mr Arun Yadav, said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.
The NDP phase-1, prepared by National Dairy Development Board, is a multi-State initiative to increase productivity of milch animals and thereby increase milk production to meet the growing demand, he said.
The minister said the government envisages to increase the share of organised sector in milk from the current 30 per cent to about 65 per cent of total marketable surplus of milk by year 2021-22.
