I am a dairy farmer in Jamnagar, what state government schemes support milk production and procurement?

Detailed Legal Analysis

Dairy development is supported under the Gujarat Rent Control Act 1999 dairy policy and the National Dairy Development Board framework in your state. The state provides subsidized cattle feed, artificial insemination, and veterinary services through the cooperative milk federation in Jamnagar.

The Gujarat High Court has held that the state must ensure fair procurement price to dairy farmers and cannot allow private players to undercut cooperative rates. You can become a member of the village-level milk cooperative society, which collects and procures milk at rates fixed by the federation.

The state may also provide interest-free loans for purchase of milch animals and construction of sheds. The Rashtriya Gokul Mission supplements state efforts for indigenous breed improvement.
