Great achievement no doubt, but I wish the government would also focus on supporting small dairy farmers who are the backbone of this sector. Awards are nice, but ground-level improvements matter more. Just saying.

The diversity of Indian cheese is incredible! From paneer to chhurpi to these award-winning varieties, we have so much to offer. But we need more branding and global marketing to really tap into this potential. 🇮🇳🧀
