Scheme for Establishment of Modern Dairy Farms

Why it matters

Dairy farmers planning to scale up to a modern, larger dairy unit (up to 100 animals) can access dedicated state financial support announced in the 2026-27 budget.

What you get

Announced in the Haryana Budget 2026-27 with an outlay of Rs 10 crore, this scheme supports farmers in establishing modern dairy farms housing up to 100 animals, helping move dairy farming in the state from small backyard herds towards more organised, productivity-focused units. The scheme is implemented alongside expansion of milk booths and Vita-brand milk bars, with a 20% reservation for women from self-help groups, strengthening market linkages for the additional milk produced.
