Now consumers in Haryana will be able to get pure milk of desi cow as Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar launched a scheme at a function in Panchkula on Friday. Speaking at the event, Mr Khattar said that its sale points would be set up in Panchkula, Kurukshetra and in Delhi also.
Initially, the plant for A2 milk of ‘desi cow’ has been set up at Kurukshetra where 5,000 litres of milk would be processed and packed and it would be sold through ‘Vita’ brand booths.
The CM also launched two schemes — One Time Settlement Scheme 2016 for the settlement of NPAs of District Central Cooperative Banks and Micro ATM for distribution of pension and other allowances under the social security pension of Central Cooperative Bank, Haryana, an official release said.
Mr Khattar said that milk of desi cows would be purchased from the cooperative milk societies working at village level at an attractive price and would be taken to the plant at Kurukshetra where it would be processed and packed.
This would not only increase the income of milk producers but the consumers would also be able to get pure cow milk.
Besides, it would also promote the rearing of cows in the State, he said.
An MoU was also signed between Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) and Haryana Dairy Development Cooperative Federation Limited in the presence of the Chief Minister.
Under the pact, the Vita milk booths would be set up at about 1,500 petrol pumps of IOCL for the sale of milk and milk products.
Such MoUs would be signed with other companies also so as to promote cow milk, Mr Khattar said.
Describing it as a historical day, the CM said various steps have been taken by the State government for the promotion and conservation of cows. - PTI
