The Assam government has launched a Milk Subsidy Scheme to provide a subsidy of 5 rupees per litre of milk to farmers in a bid to boost the dairy sector in the state.
Milk production is made available through cooperative societies such as Purabi and Sitajakhala in Assam.
The Panjabari plant is the largest dairy processing facility in the Northeast.
It is operated by the West Assam Milk Producers’ Cooperative Union Ltd (WAMUL) under the Purabi Dairy brand.
