INSANE: Subsidy for dairy farmers societies minister | Rare Historical Photos

Dairy farmers and societies across the State will be given a subsidy of ₹4 per litre as Onam gift, said Minister for Animal Husbandry and Dairy Development J. Chinchu Rani in Kollam on August 16.

Inaugurating the sales of Milma Rich milk and Smart Curd and and their delivery through the online platform Swiggy, she added that the subsidy from last month will be made available directly through the banks.

"The Department is providing cows to increase domestic production. This year, twice as many panchayats have been selected for the 'Pashukidavu' scheme. A scheme is also being rolled out to give one cow to BPL card holders. A subsidy of ₹16,000 per acre is being given to promote fodder grass cultivation and Kerala Dairy Farmers Welfare Fund Board will offer a kaineettam of ₹250 to all dairy farmers," said the Minister.
