Ludhiana: Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Science University (Gadvasu), in collaboration with the Indian Dairy Association (IDA) Punjab Chapter, celebrated National Milk Day with great fanfare.
The event honoured Dr Verghese Kurien, the ‘Father of the White Revolution’, by organising a seminar on ‘Transformative Role of Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence in Dairying’. Experts highlighted the remarkable journey of dairy development in Punjab, transforming from a milk-deficit state to a frontrunner in dairy production, and its contribution to the national economy.
Dr JPS Gill, vice-chancellor of Gadvasu and chief guest, elaborated on the importance of the livestock sector in the agrarian economy, which contributes around 39% of Punjab’s total agricultural GDP. With only 2.16% of the national bovine population, Punjab contributes around 6.40% (13.40 MT) of milk annually to the national milk pool. TNN
