Arki MLA Sanjay Awasthi said that the state government is committed to the development of rural areas. Sanjay Awasthi was addressing the gathering today after inaugurating a milk testing laboratory established at a cost of 6.5 lakh rupees at the Animal Hospital in Kunihar, in the Arki assembly constituency.
On this occasion, he provided smart milk weighing kits to 12 milk producers of the district.
Sanjay Awasthi stated that the milk testing laboratory will benefit the district’s milk producers and facilitate milk quality testing. This will help cattle farmers improve their dairy businesses and increase quality awareness. He added that animal husbandry is an important pillar of the rural economy, and providing better facilities to cattle farmers is essential.
The MLA stated that under the sensitive leadership of Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, continuous efforts are being made to strengthen the rural economy. He added that the state government has increased the minimum support price of cow milk from Rs. 51 to Rs. 61 and the minimum support price of buffalo milk from Rs. 61 to Rs. 71.

In this regard, the government has launched various schemes to increase the income of farmers, gardeners, and livestock farmers.
