Chandigarh, October 23: Being the first state in the country, Haryana government is planning to provide paying guest (PG) facility for the cattle. This new concept will be helpful for those people who live in urban areas but have a desire to rear cattle to produce “quality milk” for consumption. At first, about 50 to 100 acres of land would be allocated to set up ‘PG hostels for cattle’. The state’s agricultural minister Om Prakash Dhankar announced the facility.

This initiative will boost white revolution in the state. The dairy business is a profitable industry in India. Hence the idea will be helpful for that too. Along with cattle owners living in the small house, PG owners will also like the system as they would be getting the milk free of cost from those cattle.

To make Haryana the best state in milk production, a three-day Haryana Swarna Jayanti Cattle Fair will start from October 27. While Haryana governor Kaptan Singh Solanki will inaugurate the fair, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar will be present on the concluding day, October 29. About 2500 best cattle would participate in the fair.

The most important fore factors of the dairy industry- breed, technology, maintaining temperature and fodder, will be kept in mind for special mention. Those factors will be emphasized through seminars.
