Sarma recently announced plans for establishing milk processing facilities in different districts on Sunday. This statement represents a big step toward the aim of generating 10 lakh liters of milk and providing dairy farmers with fair prices.
The Chief Minister stressed the value of helping regional dairy farmers during his earlier March 2 inauguration of the expanded West Assam Milk Producers’ Cooperative Union Ltd. dairy factory, also referred to as Purabi Dairy. Sarma expressed great pride in introducing the first batch of Purabi Ice Creams, emphasizing the excellent taste that comes from using milk that is produced locally.
