The Himachal Pradesh government signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Dairy Development Board on March 16, 2026, to strengthen its dairy sector. The agreement focuses on enhancing milk processing capacity, improving infrastructure, and supporting farmers by providing better facilities. A key component of this initiative is the development of the Dagwar dairy project, which aims to become a major processing hub. Additionally, the promotion of dairy products under the ‘HIM’ brand is expected to boost the state’s market presence and generate employment opportunities in the dairy industry.
