Himachal Pradesh is taking a decisive step towards transforming its dairy sector with the establishment of new milk processing plants in Nahan, Nalagarh, Mohal and Rohru<\/strong>, a milk chilling centre at Jalari (Hamirpur)<\/strong>, and a bulk milk cooler at Jhalera (Una)<\/strong>. This comprehensive upgrade in infrastructure is aimed at strengthening rural livelihoods, modernising milk collection systems, and ensuring farmers receive fair and timely payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu<\/strong> emphasised that with over 90% of the state\u2019s population living in rural areas and engaged in farming<\/strong>, dairy development is a core economic priority. \u201cThese new facilities will increase milk collection capacity, ensure fair returns to farmers, and raise the quality benchmarks of milk procurement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a significant move to enhance operational efficiency and curb malpractices, the Himachal Pradesh Milk Federation (Milkfed)<\/strong> will soon roll out an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system<\/strong>. This state-of-the-art digital platform will empower farmers with mobile access to real-time data on milk collection volumes, payment status, quality testing results, and procurement rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By replacing manual record-keeping with a fully digital system, the ERP platform will minimise errors, prevent manipulation, and ensure faster payment processing<\/strong> directly to farmers\u2019 bank accounts. Farmers will be able to track every litre of milk supplied and every payment received, ensuring complete transparency in transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe earnest efforts of the state government have led to record-high milk procurement by Milkfed, while also improving the quality standards of milk collection,\u201d the Chief Minister noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A flagship project currently under construction \u2014 the Milk Processing Plant at Dhagwar in Kangra district<\/strong> \u2014 is poised to revolutionise the state\u2019s dairy economy. Once operational, it will produce a range of value-added products including curd, lassi, butter, ghee, paneer, flavoured milk, khoya, and mozzarella cheese<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This facility will help farmers earn more through the sale of high-margin dairy products, while providing consumers with high-quality, locally sourced goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a landmark policy move, Himachal Pradesh has become the first state in India<\/strong> to introduce a Minimum Support Price (MSP) scheme for milk procurement<\/strong>. Under the scheme:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This initiative not only guarantees fair and remunerative prices for dairy farmers but also provides a safety net against market fluctuations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the dual thrust of infrastructure expansion and digital innovation, Himachal Pradesh\u2019s dairy sector is set to become a model for other states. The combination of modern processing plants<\/strong>, transparent payment systems<\/strong>, and policy-backed price assurance<\/strong> underscores the state government\u2019s commitment to sustainable rural development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As Chief Minister Sukhu stated, \u201cThe State Government is committed to uplifting rural livelihoods through sustained investments in animal husbandry and dairy infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n With these reforms, Himachal\u2019s dairy farmers are entering a new era \u2014 one where technology, fair pricing, and value addition converge to create lasting prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #HimachalDairyRevolution #ThakurSukhvinderSinghSukhu #Milkfed #MSPForMilk #DairyFarmingIndia #HimachalPradeshNews #RuralDevelopment #ERPForFarmers #MilkProcessing #DairyEconomy<\/p>\n\n\n\n Himachal Pradesh dairy development, MSP for milk India, Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu dairy reforms, Milkfed ERP system, milk processing plants in Himachal, Himachal rural economy, milk procurement rates India, value-added dairy products Himachal, Jalari milk chilling centre, Dhagwar milk plant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Himachal Pradesh is taking a decisive step towards transforming its dairy sector with the establishment of new milk processing plants in Nahan, Nalagarh, Mohal and Rohru, a milk chilling centre at Jalari (Hamirpur), and a bulk milk cooler at Jhalera (Una).
