Circular Economy Model to Be Replicated Nationwide
Mr. Shah highlighted the success of Banas Dairy’s circular economy model, which efficiently uses livestock waste to produce Bio-CNG and organic fertilizers, reducing cost pressures and generating additional revenue for farmers.
He emphasized that the central government is working to replicate this model across all dairy cooperatives in India, strengthening the economic foundation of rural livestock owners.
The minister expressed confidence that the initiative would play a crucial role in achieving White Revolution 2.0, adding that it would open up new opportunities for innovation and sustainable agricultural growth.
White Revolution 2.0 Roadmap
Amit Shah outlined four key priority sectors under the government’s strategy for dairy transformation:
National Gokul Mission
Improved Animal Husbandry Infrastructure
National Animal Disease Control Programme
Revamped Dairy Development Initiatives
He stressed that these efforts would improve milk productivity, animal health, and farmer profitability, reinforcing India’s leadership in the global dairy industry.
Parliamentarians Delegation Reviews Dairy Excellence
Mr. Shah noted that a delegation of parliamentarians is currently visiting Banas Dairy to study the robust growth of Asia’s largest dairy cooperative and evaluate best practices for nationwide expansion.
Later today, the Union Minister will chair the 3rd meeting of the Parliamentary Consultative Committee of the Ministry of Cooperation at Banas Dairy. He is also scheduled to visit the new Bio-CNG and Fertiliser Plant in Agthala, interact with women milk producers, and review livestock and agricultural value-addition facilities including oil, flour, and honey plants in Palanpur, Banaskantha.
Boosting Rural Economy & Sustainability
The new initiatives are expected to:
Reduce dependency on chemical fertilizer
