Foundation Day - 2023

Dr Ashok Dalwai, IAS former CEO National Rainfed Area Authority, Govt. of India and Chairman of Empowered body for Doubling the Farmers Income, Govt. of India was the Chief Guest of the 28th Foundation Day of ICAR‐NIANP on the 24th of November 2023.Dr.Dalwai's emphasis on the quantitative production of feed and fodder highlights the critical role it plays in India's dairy industry. Despite being the leading milk producer globally, the scarcity of quality feed‐both in terms of green fodder and concentrate‐poses a significant challenge. His suggestion to explore growing perennial grasses for livestock feeding is a promising solution, especially considering the depletion of common grazing areas. Dr.Dalwai's proposal to establish Pashu Vigyan Kendra to support livestock farmers emphasizes the need for dedicated centers addressing their challenges and disseminating knowledge and resources.

Dr. NH Kelawala,Hon. Vice Chancellor of Kamdhenu University, Gandhinagar, Gujaratcommendation of the institute for focusing on farmer-centric technologies like Harit Dhara, aimed at methane mitigation from ruminants, highlights the commitment to environmentally conscious practices in livestock farming.
