National Dairy Development Board (NDDB)
The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) has decided to support the Punjab government’s efforts to build 12 more milk processing plants in the state, at a cost of around Rs 900 crore. Punjab currently has 11 milk facilities that serve 6,000 villages. Following this, the state’s milk plants will number 23 and cover a total of 12,000 settlements. It would also aid in the daily acquisition of an additional 10 lakh litres of milk. Apart from that, the NDDB has promised to establish a Punjab-based institute on the lines of National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI).
