In order to increase milk production in Rajasthan, a grant of Rs. 5 per liter of milk is given as an incentive to cattle herders. This is the Mukhyamantri Doodh Utpadak Sambal Yojana, under which earlier a subsidy of Rs 2 per litre was given, but the state government has increased the subsidy amount by Rs 3 to Rs 5 per litre. According to the statistics of the Rajasthan government, a grant of Rs 764.23 crore has been given so far under this scheme, which was operated from February 1, 2019.

Although the Chief Minister Milk Producer Sambal Yojana was started in the year 2013, but due to some reasons it was stopped midway. Once again on February 1, 2019, this scheme gained momentum and cattle rearers were given subsidies at Rs. 2 per litre of milk.

On 1 April 2022, the subsidy amount was increased from Rs 3 to Rs 5 per liter. In the year 2022 itself, the state government has made a budget provision of Rs 550 crore under the Chief Minister’s Milk Producer Sambal Scheme. Today this scheme is proving to be a boon for about 9 lakh cattle herders of the state.

If you are also an animal farmer of Rajasthan and supply milk to the cooperative milk producer unions of the state, then you can get a grant of Rs. Lakhs of farmers and cattle rearers sell milk to them, but these farmers are not given the benefit of Chief Minister’s Milk Producer Sambal Yojana. Although cattle herders who sell milk to private companies have also been demanding grants for a long time, this scheme benefits only cattle herders who sell milk to state cooperative unions.

Under the Mukhyamantri Dudh Utpadak Sambal Yojana, the grant amount is sent through DBT to the bank account of the cattle herders who sell milk to cooperative milk producer unions. Only the farmers and cattle herders of Rajasthan can take advantage of this scheme.

Milk producers can contact the dairy booth issued by the government to take advantage of the Sambal scheme. For more information, you can also contact the Animal Husbandry Department office of your district.
