LE Asked by Legal Expert from India
Legal Information
Below is a comprehensive legal analysis based on Indian law for your question.
Dairy development is supported under the Meghalaya Rent Control Act 2014 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 Shillong. The Meghalaya 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.
