In line with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of building a prosperous and self-reliant India through the mantra of "Sahkar se Samriddhi," and under the leadership of Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah, the Ministry of Cooperation continues to strengthen the cooperative ecosystem across the country through modern infrastructure, technology-enabled systems and farmer-centric initiatives.

According to a press release issued by the Ministry of Cooperation, as part of these efforts, Shah will inaugurate the Madhur Dairy Unit-2 Automatic Milk Processing and Packaging Plant at Dashela, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, on May 17.

Bhupendrabhai Patel, Chief Minister of Gujarat, Harsh Sanghavi, Deputy Chief Minister of Gujarat and other dignitaries will also be present at the occasion.

The inauguration of the new dairy unit is expected to significantly enhance milk processing and packaging capacities in the region while strengthening the cooperative dairy network and improving value realisation for milk producers associated with the cooperative sector, the release said.

The initiative reflects the Government's commitment towards modernising the dairy cooperative ecosystem through advanced technology, quality assurance systems and efficient processing infrastructure.

During the programme, Shah will unveil the plaque of Madhur Dairy Unit-2 and visit the milk processing plant and viewing gallery. The Minister will also formally inaugurate the plant by launching the operational systems from the control room.

During the event, women milk producers associated with dairy cooperatives will honour the Minister with a Madhur Dairy product kit, highlighting the growing role of women in strengthening India's cooperative dairy movement.

The programme will also include the distribution of certificates to representatives of milk producer societies by the Union Home and Cooperation Minister, reaffirming the Government's focus on strengthening grassroots dairy cooperatives and empowering milk producers through institutional support and modern infrastructure.

The inauguration of Madhur Dairy Unit-2 is expected to further accelerate cooperative-led rural development, generate enhanced livelihood opportunities for dairy farmers and contribute towards strengthening India's dairy value chain through modern and sustainable cooperative models.

Hope this isn't just a photo op. We need to see if milk procurement prices actually improve for small farmers. Most dairy farmers are still struggling with fodder costs and water scarcity.

Amul and now Madhur Dairy - Gujarat's cooperative model is world-class. But we need similar infrastructure in states like UP, Bihar where farmers sell milk at cheap rates to middlemen. "Sahkar se Samriddhi" should reach every village.

Interesting to see such focus on dairy modernization. As someone from the US, I find India's cooperative dairy model quite innovative. Wish more countries adopted this farmer-first approach. Hope the new plant reduces milk wastage too.

Inauguration happening tomorrow but what about last year's promises for dairy farmers in Saurashtra? We need consistent policy, not just ribbon-cutting ceremonies. Also, what about organic milk production? 😕

Good move! This will create jobs too. The automatic packaging plant means our milk will be more hygienic and have longer shelf life. And the viewing gallery is a nice touch - transparency in operations.

The best part is women milk producers honoring the minister. Many women in rural Gujarat manage cattle and milk selling - empowering
