National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC) has sanctioned Rs 252 crore for Ajmer Dairy for a project which will see a new modern technology processing plant.
The National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC) was established by an Act of Parliament in 1963 as a statutory Corporation under the Ministry of Agriculture.
The new plant will be able to process 10 lakh litres of milk and produce 30 metric tonnes milk powder per day.
Ajmer Dairy Chairman Ram Chander Choudhry told reporters today that NCDC has sanctioned Rs 164.23 crore and Rs 50.52 crore for Ajmer Dairy project.
The dairy will contribute Rs 37.90 crore from own source.
He added that with efforts of MP & National BJP General Secretary Bhupendra Yadav, this project has been sanctioned.
Choudhry said this will be first modern automatic plant in Rajasthan having capacity of 10 lakh litres milk per day processing.
At present, the dairy plant has the processing capacity of four lakh litres of milk per day.
After this plant, the dairy will produce their own more products as ice-cream, paneer, cheese and mawa etc.
He said that plant will be established and constructed by National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in two years. The work will starts from January 2017.
