Kang for joint ventures in dairy farming Ludhiana, July 22 Mr Kang was addressing a function after inaugurating a mini milk plant with capacity of 20,000 liters set up jointly by four dairy farmers, Mr Daljit Singh Gill, Mr Kamaljit Singh Hara, Mr Balbir Singh and Mr Raj Pal Sandh at Kanganwal village here today. He said in the marketing of the milk and its products, the middlemen were making the fortunes, where as, the farmers after putting in a lot of labour and investment were getting very small returns from the dairy ventures. In the present era of privatisation and competition, the only way to make this profession a profitable venture was setting up of excellent marketing system at the level of the dairy farmers, he added. Appreciating the initiative of the four farmers for setting up their own milk progressive unit, Mr Kang said they had set an example for the others, who should also follow them to enhance their income. The minister said giving a desired push to the scheme of diversification in agriculture Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University
(GADVASU), had been set up at Ludhiana which would help in ushering in a ‘White Revolution’ in the state. Mr Kang said 22 per cent of the peasantry constituted of small and marginal farmers with less than 1 to 1.5 acres for which traditional agriculture was totally unsustainable and non-remunerative. He asserted that GADVASU would be instrumental in promoting the livestock production, health and prevention of diseases through integrated teaching research and extension programmes and certainly give a boost to the agriculture diversification.
