3. 5125 Bulk Milk Coolers with 113.30 lakh litres cooling capacity created at village level dairy cooperatives.
4. 27.53 lakh litre per day milk processing and 30 metric tonnes of Value Added Products Capacity created and about 82 dairy plants strengthened/refurbished.
5. 231 cooperative dairy plants at district/regional level (not having electronic adulteration testing equipment) equipped for adulteration detection equipments and 15 State Central Laboratories approved/equipped to test all Milk Parameters, Adulterants, Residues, Heavy Metals, Microbiological etc.
