Ksheeradhare: raise the milk incentive for dairy farmers from Rs 5 to Rs 7 a litre
“Ksheeradhare - To increase the per litre milk subsidy for all dairy farmers from Rs.5 to Rs.7/-.”
The verdict
No increase was found: reports say the incentive stays at Rs 5 a litre. Payments were also delayed, with about Rs 800 crore pending in May 2024 and Rs 606.69 crore for June-October 2024 unpaid as later admitted in the Assembly. The deadline has not passed, but no step toward Rs 7 was found. Provisional rating.
Rule applied: In progress: deadline not reached; rating is provisional and not counted in the final score
“The milk incentive was promised a Rs 2 top-up; so far it hasn't even been topped up on time.”
