The state of Odisha has made an important decision to launch a new scheme called 'Mukhyamantri Kamadhenu Yojana' worth Rs 1,400 crore. This announcement was made on Saturday by the Odisha government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi. The main objective of this scheme is to increase milk production in the state and improve the income of dairy farmers. The Law Minister, Pritihiviraj Harichandan, shared this news with the media after the cabinet meeting.
The cabinet meeting also approved seven different proposals, including the strengthening of OMFED (Odisha State Cooperative Milk Producers' Federation). The 'Mukhyamantri Kamadhenu Yojana' will be implemented for a period of five years, from 2024-25 to 2028-29, with a budget of Rs 1,423.47 crore. This scheme aims to benefit about 15,47,837 farmers and increase the milk production of the state.
Under this scheme, the state government will provide incentives to encourage people to rear cows and buffaloes for milk production. In addition, the government will bear 85% of the insurance for cattle, while the remaining 15% will be paid by the farmers as premiums. This will not only support the dairy sector but also benefit the farmers.
The cabinet also gave its approval for the construction of over 550 quarters for the employees of the Orissa High Court. This decision was taken to improve the living conditions of the employees. Moreover, the government has also decided to increase the fees of the Advocate General of Orissa for appearances before the High Court, Supreme Court, and other authorities and tribunals.
In conclusion, the 'Mukhyamantri Kamadhenu Yojana' is a significant step towards promoting the dairy sector and improving the lives of dairy farmers in Odisha. The government aims to achieve this goal by providing support and incentives to the farmers, thus contributing to the overall development of the state. This scheme will not only increase milk production but also boost the income of farmers, which will have a positive impact on the economy of the state.
