With a view to promote dairying and rural livelihoods in the Union Territory of Ladakh, the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) and UT Administration of Ladakh has signed an MoU for conducting a benchmark survey in the newly formed UT.
NDDB’s dairy potential survey will help prepare a road map to boost dairying in the UT and will help in enhancing income of the rural population in the mountainous border areas. NDDB Chairman Dilip Rath said that NDDB is happy to support the efforts of the UT Administration who have taken initiative for dairy development in the interest of milk producers in particular and the cooperative movement in general in Ladakh region. He further said that the Dairy Board has also offered managerial and technical support to promote producer-owned institutions that remain true to cooperative values.
