"एनडीडीबी (@NDDB_Coop) द्वारा लद्दाख मिल्क फेडरेशन की कमान संभालने के बाद डेयरी सहकारिता का दायरा 28 गांवों तक पहुंचा है, जहां 1700 से अधिक दूध उत्पादक इससे जुड़ चुके हैं। अब लक्ष्य है कि अनुकूल क्षेत्रों के 85% गांवों तक इस नेटवर्क की पहुंच सुनिश्चित की जाए, ताकि अधिक से अधिक पशुपालकों का जीवन स्तर बेहतर हो सके।
वर्तमान में दैनिक दूध खरीद लगभग 7000 किलोग्राम तक पहुंच चुकी है। इसे अगले चार वर्षों में बढ़ाकर 21,000 किलोग्राम करने का लक्ष्य रखा गया है, जिससे किसानों की आय और क्षेत्र की समृद्धि में उल्लेखनीय वृद्धि होगी।"

The @GST_Council has taken a landmark decision to reduce GST on various dairy products, making milk, paneer, ghee, butter, and other essentials more affordable for families across India.
This progressive step will encourage higher consumption of nutritious dairy staples, help millions of citizens strengthen their immunity, and ensure better incomes for dairy farmers.
This step will increase the consumption of dairy products and, in turn, help boost the immunity of millions of Indian citizens.
A truly commendable decision by the Government of India!
#NextGenGST #56thGSTCouncil #DairyProducts
We wholeheartedly welcome the landmark “GST 2.0” reforms announced by the Government of India. By simplifying the tax structure primarily into two slabs, 0% and 5%, the GST Council has set the stage for greater affordability, inclusivity, and rural prosperity.
We express our deep gratitude to the Government of India and the GST Council for this visionary step that will empower farmers, strengthen cooperatives, and carry prosperity to every corner of rural India, in line with the vision of “Sahkar se Samriddhi."
We extend our sincere congratulations to all stakeholders, farmers, cooperatives, allied sectors, and consumers for being part of this transformative journey.
