As changes in the environment and weather are seen, herders and farmers associated with the dairy industry should increase their reliance on native animals. There is no dearth of opportunities in Bihar, students should not run after jobs and work to set up enterprises. Dr. Kurien’s legacy will continue to inspire us. President Dairy Association Bihar Chapter, DK Srivastava, was present on the occasion as a special guest. He said that National Milk Day is not just a celebration but a decision to empower farmers, adopt modern technology and promote cooperative values. Dr. Kurien’s legacy will continue to inspire us. Dr. Kurien organized the farmers and laid the foundation of the cooperative movement through the Amul model, which gave India global leadership in the field of milk production, which is the result of Dr. Kurien’s visionary leadership and the historic success of Operation Flood. Initiatives like strengthening the milk sector infrastructure of Bihar, increasing milk processing capacity, advanced breed improvement and digital dairy management will improve the situation in the state. Dean of the institute, dr. Umesh Singh said that indigenous animal breed like Sahiwal and Tharparkar are very suitable for the environment of Bihar.
