₹350 crore investment for dairy farmers' welfare is commendable. Hope this actually translates to better prices for milk producers and not just corporate profits. The cooperative model has worked well in Gujarat, let's see if it can be replicated nationwide.

Great initiative! But I hope they maintain quality standards. Many dairy products in the market have preservatives. Should focus on natural, chemical-free products like our traditional dahi and lassi. Quality over quantity please!

While the project sounds good, I'm concerned about environmental impact. Large dairy plants generate significant waste. Hope they have proper waste management systems in place. Sustainable development should be the focus.

Wonderful to see women empowerment through cooperatives! 35 lakh women in Gujarat doing business worth ₹85,000 crore is inspiring. Hope Haryana's women farmers also benefit similarly. 👏🇮🇳
