Union Home Minister unveils dairy infrastructure, cooperative initiatives in Ladakh
Srinagar, May 1: Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah today inaugurated various dairy infrastructure and cooperative initiatives for the Union Territory in Leh, Ladakh. On this occasion, Union Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh, Minister of State for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying S. P. Singh Baghel and Shri George Kurian, and Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh Vinay Kumar Saxena were also present. Addressing the gathering, the Union Home and Cooperation Minister said that under the cooperative model envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, multiple programmes are being implemented simultaneously in Ladakh. He said that today, in a high-altitude region like Kargil, the foundation stone has been laid for a dairy plant with a capacity of 10 TLPD (10,000 litres per day). Women of Kargil can bring prosperity into their lives through this dairy plant, support their families, and become self-reliant. Shah said that he comes from a region where women, through similar small dairy initiatives, have achieved a turnover of 1,25,000 crore. He expressed confidence that women here too have the potential to contribute to their families and childrens education. He said that the new 25 crore project will prove to be a blessing for the mothers and sisters of Kargil. The Cooperation Minister also said that daily production has begun at the milk plant already operating in Leh. Amit Shah said that ITBP and the Army are major buyers in Ladakh, with around 18,000 soldiers stationed at the borders. He expressed confidence that their requirements of milk, curd, and paneer will be met by this plant. He further stated that a mobile laboratory costing 45 lakh has also been launched, which will greatly help in maintaining milk quality. He said that the Android-based AMCS app has also been launched, enabling dairy farmers to transparently monitor their milk accounts on a single platform. This will also boost their confidence. He added that the five livestock farmers who were honoured today are an inspiration for all livestock farmers of Kargil and Leh. Amit Shah said that Ladakh Milk Federation and Mother Dairy have signed an agreement, which will connect Ladakh to national markets. He said that Ladakhs organic products should get access to the large market of Delhi. He urged the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) to facilitate a tripartite MoU with the National Cooperative Organic Limited. He added that while Mother Dairy products should be sold here, arrangements should also be made for marketing Ladakhs products across the country through Mother Dairy and other cooperatives. The Union Cooperation Minister said that dairy infrastructure in Ladakh will be expanded further. A new plant with a capacity of 50,000 litres per day will be established in Leh at a cost of 70 crore. This will tap the growing potential in Leh and will also complement the Kargil plant as milk production increases. Efforts will be made to provide high-yield breeds of cows and buffaloes suited to the regions climate. Approximately 500 such animals will be provided annually to boost milk production. He noted that Ladakh has extreme cold conditions and low oxygen levels, so research-based animal breeds suited to these conditions will be introduced. He said there is a plan to nearly triple the livestock population over the next 10 years and expressed confidence that people will respond positively. He added that after the agreement between Ladakh Milk Federation and NDDB, the network has reached 28 villages with about 1700 milk producers connected. He urged NDDB to expand its reach to as many villages as possible where animal husbandry is feasible and improve the livelihoods of livestock farmers. Amit Shah said that daily milk procurement has reached around 7000 kilolitres and should be increased to 21,000 kilolitres in the next four years to enhance farmers prosperity. He also mentioned that an existing dairy plant has been upgraded and its capacity doubled from 5 TLPD to 10 TLPD. The MoU with the Army will further benefit it. He said that since 2014, under Prime Minister Narendra Modis leadership, there has been a major transformation in Indias livestock and dairy sector, with several revolutionary reforms in the animal husbandry sector. He stated that Indias milk production was 146 million tonnes in 201415. From independence till 201415, it reached 146 million tonnes in 70 years, but from 201415 to 202425, it increased to 248 million tonnes. This means a 70% increase in just 10 years, with 50% of that growth in the last 5 years. He added that per capita milk availability has increased from 307 grams in 201314 to 485 grams now. He said that India has achieved this through 2,36,000 cooperative societies and nearly 2 crore milk producers. A target has been set to establish 75,000 new milk societies in five years, and efforts are being made to modernize 46,000 existing ones. Out of the 75,000, 21,000 new societies have already been formed. The Union Cooperation Minister urged the Ladakh administration to tap the potential of every village where dairy and animal husbandry are feasible. He added that cooperative societies related to pashmina, organic products, and honey will also be established in the coming days.

IPL 2026: Skipper Parag's 90 Lifts Rajasthan Royals To 225/6 Against Delhi Capitals
Skipper Riyan Parag: Rajasthan Royals' captain Riyan Parag led with a gritty and commanding knock, helping his team post a competitive total of 225/6 in 20 overs despite Delhi Capitals regaining crucial momentum thanks to a late burst from Mitchell Starc in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Friday. The highly anticipated contest began with an unexpected twist. While everyone expected a showdown between Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Starc, it was Yashasvi Jaiswal who stole the spotlight first. He hit Starc for a six on the very first ball he faced, but fell two balls later to a high full toss, lobbing a simple return catch. RR found themselves rocked early at 6 for 1 in 0.3 overs. Things got worse when Sooryavanshi, undone by a precise yorker, was bowled by Kyle Jamieson for 12, leaving them at 12 for 2 in 1.5 overs. With the top order shaken, Parag started to rebuild alongside Dhruv Jurel. Despite concerns about Jurels strike rate of 150.86 at No. 3, the pair steadied RR. They reached 56 for 2 at the end of the Power-play. Delhi Capitals tightened their grip immediately after, with Kuldeep Yadav delivering a solid spell. Axar Patel also recovered well after a rough start, limiting RR to 91 for 2 in 10 overs. However, Parag gradually shifted his approach. He scored a measured fifty off 32 balls, celebrating with a four and a stunning six off T. Natarajan. By the 11th over, he had reached 60 off 34, pushing RR to 106 for 2. Jurel showed flashes of brilliance with a six off Axar but fell for 42 off 30, leaving RR at 114 for 3 in 11.4 overs. A strategic move to promote Ravindra Jadeja up the order briefly worked in RRs favour. Parag dominated Jamieson, hitting 32 runs off just 12 balls against him. By the 16th over, RR were well positioned at 166 for 3, with Parag batting on 90 off 49. Just when RR seemed set for a big score, Starc changed the game. Using his pace and variations, he dismissed Jadeja with a slower short ball and followed it by removing Parag with a hard-length delivery. Parags impressive innings ended at 90 off 50, with RR slipping to 173 for 5, losing momentum at a critical moment. The innings got a late lift from Donovan Ferreira, who produced a remarkable cameo. After struggling against Kuldeep, Ferreira turned the tide, scoring 47 off just 14 balls. His assault included several sixes off near-perfect yorkers, as RR raced to 193 for 5 in 18 overs, rescuing what briefly looked like a stalled innings.
