to increase productivity of milch animals to meet the rapidly growing demand for milk is being adopted under NDP. Cooperatives are also being supported in providing rural milk producers greater access to the organised milk processing sector.

NDDB has conducted three national-level orientation workshops on NDP-I for various stakeholders. State-level meetings have also been conducted in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan to orient EIAs (environmental impact assessment) on issues critical to implementation of NDP-I. Training programmes for farmers and officials of dairy cooperatives have been initiated and so far about 400 participants have been trained in 20 training programmes.

She mentioned that the focus will be on identifying and assisting EIAs in preparation and submission of proposals relevant to their needs and capacity-building of EIAs in remaining states. Information, communication and technology- (ICT) based systems have been developed to enable effective monitoring of the projects by the project monitoring unit of NDDB.
