To develop dairy farming and encourage the youth to adopt it as a lucrative business, the Punjab Government has decided to give 25 per cent subsidy on setting up of a dairy unit.
An advanced institute of dairy farming in collaboration with Israeli firm Dairy Farming Solutions (DFS) would also be set up in the State.
The institute would provide the technique for the scientific handling and processing of milk.
The State Dairy Development Minister Sarwan Singh Phillaur said more hi-tech dairy units would be set up and the subsidy for the dairy units with 2-10 cattle would be deposited in the account of the beneficiary.
The minister said that to promote dairy as an alternative venture to the agriculture, the Dairy Development Department has also launched a comprehensive training programme for young dairy farmers in the State.
