NABARD encouraged setting up Farmer Clubs to help dairy farmers of Bilaspur in overcoming hurdles related to
dairy farming in this region like lack of market, fodder shortage and inadequate animal health services. These
Farmer Clubs were later federated to Dairy Co-operatives.
> The Dairy Co-operatives today collect milk from farmers, have milk chilling and packaging facilities and sell
milk under brand name of ‘Kamadhenu Vyas’.
> NABARD supported this initiative by providing loan for setting up of cattle feed plant, a rural godown for
storing the feed and a Cattle Development Centre.
> Improved daily milk collection of 18000 litres.
> Farmers are now getting remunerative price of Rs 30 per litre.
