Addressing the people after the inauguration of development projects, the Prime Minister said, “Strengthening India’s dairy sector is one of the top priorities of our government. Talking about cows and ‘Govardhan’ has been made a crime by some people. The cow can be a crime for some people but for us, the cow is revered as a mother. People who make fun of cows and buffaloes forget that the livelihood of 8 crore families of the country is run by such livestock.”
He said that the production of milk in the country has increased by about 45 per cent compared to 6-7 years ago. He said that India’s share in the world’s milk production is about 22 per cent. The Prime Minister said that Uttar Pradesh is not only the largest milk-producing state in the country but is also ahead in the expansion of the dairy sector.

“I firmly believe that new energy in the white revolution of the country that is the dairy and animal husbandry sector can play a big role in changing the condition of the farmers. Animal husbandry can become a huge source of additional income for the small farmers whose number is more than 10 crores in the country. Dairy products of India have a huge overseas market and we have a lot of potentials to grow,” he emphasized.
Before the inauguration, the Prime Minister reviewed the development projects along with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh are slated for early next year
