National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) Chairman, Dilip Rath mooted the idea of solar photovoltaic (PV) plant in each of the Dairy Cooperative Societies in the country for meeting their energy needs as well as earning extra money.
Speaking on the occasion of Mujkuva Dairy Cooperative Society’s 60th anniversary, Rath said it will allow the society not only to meet its own electricity needs but will also earn profit by selling surplus electricity to the grid.
NDDB has made over Mujkuva Dairy Cooperative Society (DCS) at Anklav Taluka in Anand and equipped it with state of the art facilities to showcase it as the success story of the Amul model to those visiting Anand.
The dairy society at Mujkuva will cater to 1,800 milk producers. NDDB has gifted a solar photovoltaic (PV) plant to the Mujkuva Dairy Cooperative Society (DCS).
With the support of National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI), NDDB also intends promoting digital payments by dairy cooperatives across the country, claimed its Chairman Rath.
