This was revealed at a New Delhi curtain raiser event on Tuesday.
Dr. Sanjeev Balyan, Union Minister of State for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, and Dairying, expressed his delight at India hosting the World Dairy Summit for the first time in 48 years. Furthermore, Shri Atul Chaturvedi, Secretary, Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, stated that the World Dairy Summit is the International Dairy Federation’s first physical summit following Covid.
“We will benefit from the experience of the International Dairy Federation and the world leaders on dairy who will come to India, and the country will benefit by learning from them what they do for the dairy sector,” Shri Chaturvedi, who is also the Chairman of the IDF-Indian National Committee, said.
“IDF cares about the entire dairy chain, and we provide all science-based support to the dairy sector,” says Mr. Piercristiano Brazzale, President of the International Dairy Federation (IDF). This year’s summit will bring together technicians and experts from all over the world.”
“I am pleased to announce the launch of the new IDF Dairy Innovation Awards.” The awards will be presented on September 12th, 2022, the first day of the World Dairy Summit. The awards will be given out in 12 categories. All of the information is available on our website, https://idfwds2022.com, and you can register until July 1st,” he added.
According to Shri Meenesh Shah, Chairman of the National Dairy Development Board and Member Secretary of the Indian National Committee of the International Dairy Federation, the dairy sector is the most important sector for boosting India’s rural economy because it provides livelihood opportunities to about eight crore farmers, which is why the World Dairy Summit is important to Indian stakeholders.
Dairy is linked to not only farmers but also landless farmers. Milk is an important source of income in our country, according to Shri Shah.
