BJP To Introduce 'Gujarat Model' For Dairy Development In UP

LUCKNOW:  The BJP government in Uttar Pradesh is planning to implement an "improvised version" of 'Gujarat model' for dairy development in the state. Stating this, Cabinet Minister for Dairy Development Laxmi Narayan Chaudhary said that cooperatives will be strengthened and steps will taken "to put a blanket ban on all the merchanised slaughter houses."

He also alleged that schemes like Kaamdhenu Yojana initiated by Akhilesh Yadav government for dairy development were misused.

Pointing to the crackdown on illegal abattoirs by the new government, he claimed, "There has been a decrease in the count of milch cattle especially due to operations of the illegal slaughter houses and abattoirs. Chief Minister Yogi Aditynath has already started acting against the illegal abattoirs."

The government believes that dairy development would give a boost to the income of farmers, most of whom are solely dependent on agriculture for livelihood.

Speaking to PTI, Mr Chaudhary said, "Gujarat has been at the forefront of dairy development. It witnessed the White Revolution and Operation Flood.

"We would attempt to implement an improvised version of the Gujarat model of dairy development in UP. Our effort would be to directly link farmers' prosperity with dairy industry," Mr Chaudhary said.
