The new headquarters building will be a 100 per cent green building

Amit Shah, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation laid the foundation stone of the headquarters of National Cooperative Dairy Federation of India (NCDFI) Limited in Gandhinagar, Gujarat and addressed the e-Market Awards 2023 ceremony. Many dignitaries including Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Gujarat Legislative Assembly Speaker Shankar Choudhary, IFFCO Chairman Dilip Sanghani, NDDB Chairman Dr Meenesh Shah and NCDFI Chairman Dr Mangal Rai were present on the occasion.

In his address, Amit Shah said that the dairy and especially the cooperative dairy sector in our country has achieved multi-dimensional goals. He said that if the cooperative sector does not do milk trading, then milk production remains limited to a middleman and the milk user. But suppose the cooperative sector cooperatively trades milk. In that case, many dimensions are integrated into it, because the aim is not to make profit only and it has multidimensional benefits to the society, agriculture, villages, milk producers and ultimately the country. He said India has experienced this success story in the last 50 years.

The Minister of Cooperation said that today India has reached first place in the world’s milk production with a 24 per cent share. He said that if a cooperative dairy is to be run, then many institutions will have to be formed to nurture it and NCDFI will do this work. In a way, NCDFI is doing the work of guiding all dairies. Shah said that White Revolution started in the village ‘Vasi’ and now the headquarters of NCDFI is going to be built in the same Anand district in an area of about 7000 square meters. It will be built at an expense of about Rs 32 crore and will be operated through a solar power plant. He said that the new headquarters building will be a 100 per cent green building.

IFFCO has commissioned three urea plants in a single year

Amit Shah, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation launched IFFCO Nano DAP (Liquid) in New Delhi. Several dignitaries including the Secretary of, the Ministry of Cooperation, Gyanesh Kumar, and the Chairman, of IFFCO, Dilip Sanghani were present on the occasion.

In his address, Amit Shah said that the launch of the IFFCO Nano DAP (Liquid) product is an important beginning to making India self-reliant in the field of fertilisers. He said that this effort of IFFCO is an inspiration for all the national cooperatives to research and venture into new areas. The launch of the IFFCO Nano DAP (Liquid) product will bring a paradigm shift in the agriculture sector of India, it will make farmers prosperous and India self-reliant in the field of production and fertiliser. Shah said that the use of liquid DAP, through spraying on the plant, will help increase both the quality and quantity of production as well as the conservation of the land. This will contribute a lot to restoring the fertility of the land and will reduce the threat to the health of crores of Indians caused by chemical fertilisers.

Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Minister Amit Shah appealed to farmers to use more effective liquid Nano Urea and DAP instead of granular urea and DAP. He said that the use of granular urea damages the land as well as the crop and the health of the people. He said that farmers have the maximum capacity to accept any new changes.  The effect of one bottle of 500 ml on the crop is equivalent to that of a 45 kg bag of granular urea.

Amit Shah said that 384 lakh metric tonnes of fertiliser are produced in the country, out of which cooperative societies produced 132 lakh metric tonnes. Out of this 132 Lakh metric tonnes of fertiliser, IFFCO has produced 90 Lakh metric tonnes. He said that cooperative societies like IFFCO and KRIBHCO have a huge contribution to India’s self-reliance in the fields of fertiliser, milk production and marketing. Shah said that instead of mass production, the main mantra of cooperation is mass production by the masses. It was believed that this mantra could not be successful after the decade of 1970-80, but, many cooperative societies like IFFCO and KRIBHCO have followed this mantra. Along with their professionalism in every field of cooperation, research, capacity and capability, they have kept the spirit of co-operative alive and have implemented it on the ground. He said that the biggest example and success story of a cooperative is that if today IFFCO earns Rupee 1, after the deduction of income tax, 80 paise goes directly to the farmers.

In this series, the cooperative society IFFCO has commissioned three urea plants in a single year.
