In consonance with the White Revolution 2.0, to initiate milk procurement activities as an additional income generation in PACS/MPACS, NDDB has launched a scheme under which one-time financial assistance of Rs. 40,000/- per MPACS is provided to viable MPACS to initiate milk procurement activities. The financial assistance is routed through Milk Union/Federation/ Milk Producer Organizations operating in the region and they also provide forward linkage to these MPACs. As a pilot project, the scheme is to be rolled out in 1,000 MPACS. This scheme has now been extended to include MDCS also.
Under this scheme till date, projects worth Rs. 349.2 lakhs have been sanctioned to 12 milk unions and 1 Milk producer company supporting 873 MPACS/MDCS.
