Corruption and adulteration will not be tolerated under any circumstances – Minister Zoraram Kumawat
He said that corruption and adulteration in the dairy business will not be tolerated under any circumstances. And if any case comes to light regarding this, strict action will be taken on it. Along with this, he also talked about expanding the dairy business. He said that through this, economic empowerment of farmers, women and youth will be possible. For this, the network of milk producing cooperatives will be expanded from village to village. Along with this, the minister said that emphasis has also been laid on reducing corruption in the Chief Minister Dudh Sambal Yojana. He told that for this, the subsidy of Rs 5 per liter given under this scheme is now being transferred directly to the account of the animal husbandry through DBT, due to which there is no scope for corruption. Through this, an amount of Rs 525 crore has been paid so far.

He said that the state government is working with commitment towards the development of dairy and economic empowerment of livestock farmers.
