Under this scheme, approximately 20,000 dairy farmers associated with 601 dairy cooperative societies across the State would receive assistance of Rs. 5 per litre of milk, for up to 30 litres per day.
This assistance applies to farmers supplying milk to organised dairy processing projects.
A provision of Rs. 10 crore has been made for the scheme in the financial year 2025-26.
Sarma, speaking on the occasion, observed that Assam's daily milk production stands at approximately 29 lakh litres; however, only 1 lakh litres of this is processed and made available through cooperative societies such as Purabi and Sitajakhala.
"In response, the government has resolved to raise the volume of processed milk to 10 lakh litres per day," he said.
