NDDB Demands ₹3,900 Crore From Madhya Pradesh Government
The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) is asking the Madhya Pradesh government for a large sum of money, ₹3,900 crore, to help with milk production.
This request came after the government aimed to collect much more milk from farmers.
Originally, the plan was to use loans.
Now, the NDDB wants the money as a grant.
The government is hesitant because the NDDB isn't saying how much profit each milk union will make.
The government is concerned about providing this huge amount.
NDDB demands ₹3,900 crore from the Madhya Pradesh government in grants.
The demand stems from an increased milk collection target set by the government.
The initial plan involved loans, but NDDB now seeks grants.
The government is hesitant due to the large amount and lack of profit disclosure.
Disagreement has arisen over NDDB not revealing profits of Dairy Unions.
