EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NDDB has proposed the National Dairy Support Project Phase II (NDSP Phase-II) for World Bank support with the broad objective ‘To enhance competitiveness, foster inclusion, improve resilience and reduce the carbon footprint of milk value chains, focusing on small farmers in project areas’. The Project will focus on less dairy developed States, which have been identified based on the supply infrastructure of Producer Owned Institutions (POIs) (functional Dairy Cooperative Societies (DCSs)/ Milk Pooling Points (MPPs) coverage, milk procurement share and processing capacity) and liquid milk marketing coverage. Overall interventions/activities defined under the project are grouped under four major components that includes: 1) Component A-Enhancing Institutional Capacity and Sustainability; 2) Component B-Strengthening Dairy Market Development, with specific sub- components on ‘strengthening the dairy supply chain s ystem’, ‘strengthening the sales and marketing system’, ‘enhancing food safety and quality, ‘strengthening dairy business operations through ICT support’; 3) Component C-Productivity Improvement and Enhancing Climate Resilient Rearing Practices with specific sub-components on ‘promotion of scientific feeding practices’, ‘demonstration of fodder production & conservation technology, ‘control of bovine mastitis & EVM’, ‘Renewable energy solutions and GHG mitigation interventions ; and 4) Component D-Project Management and Learning, focusing on placing robust monitoring and evaluation system. As per the World Bank’s Environment and Social Framework, Stakeholder Engagement needs to be carried out throughout the project cycle. Environment and Social Standard (ESS-10) lays a systematic approach and framework to identify the stakeholders and engage with them in a continuous process. The SEP is developed basis of ESS 10 requirements on ‘Stakeholder Engagement and Information Disclosure’, and it takes into account exiting institutional and regulatory framework that may be applicable in the context of the stakeholder engagement process for the project. The SEP is a guiding document and shall be updated at various stages of project life cycle. Updating and inclusion of new stakeholder will be done as a continued process. As per ESS10, project stakeholders are categorized into three groups: 1) Project affected parties, 2) Other interested parties, and 3) disadvantaged and vulnerable individuals or groups. For NDSP-Phase II, the SEP also includes project proponents. Stakeholder groups identified for the NDSP Phase-II Project is listed below. Project Proponents Project Affected Parties Other Interested Parties Vulnerable Groups ■ Department of ■ Dairy Cooperative ■ Veterinarian/ Veterinary ■ Women Animal Societies (DCS) / Milk hospitals/clinic at members of Husbandry and Pooling Points district/block/ panchayat community Dairying ■ Milk Unions/Milk Plant level engaged in (DAHD) ■ Milk Producer ■ Cattle Feed Plant/TMR dairy ■ NDDB Companies/Farmer Plant ■ Scheduled ■ World Bank – Producer Organisation ■ Transportation service Caste / Project lender (FPO)/Milk Producer provider Scheduled Organisation formed by ■ ICAR/Agriculture Tribes SHGs University/ Regional community ■ State Milk Federations Fodder Station/ members ■ Dairy Farmers/Milk Veterinary College ■ Landless Producers ■ NGOs labours/small ■ Village level functionaries ■ FSSAI (Food Safety and holder dairy such as AI technician, DCS Standards Authority of farmers secretary, Pashu Sakhis, India) ■ Dairy farmers Sahayaks, Animal Health ■ Other Government with disabilities department like Labour www.erm.com Version: Error!

Project Proponents Project Affected Parties Other Interested Parties Vulnerable Groups Workers and other Department, resource persons Environment department ■ Customer/retailers / etc.) distributor of milk & milk products/ Milk Booths ■ Workers engaged in operating BMCs, Chilling Plant, Dairy Plant, Milk Unions Based on assessment of potential impacts on the stakeholders and the influence that these stakeholder groups may have over the project, the engagement needs of these stakeholder groups have been identified. This SEP also discuss the engagement method, timing of engagement and disclosure of project information as well as responsible parties to ensure engagement with different stakeholder groups in the course of project implementation. One round of consultations undertaken during the preparation phase, were mainly to inform stakeholders about the Project details and to get their opinion, issues and feedback on the proposed project interventions for diary improvement. Key issues noted at farmers/milk producer level were pertaining to lack of dairy extension services; lagging awareness w.r.t animal health, disease control, scientific calf rearing, ration balancing, safe milking practices, process of accessing active government schemes on dairy sector etc.; lack of training and capacity building opportunities etc. Similarly, major issues noted in consultation with POIs were regarding requirement for upgrading and upscaling the infrastructure required in milk processing units (Milk Plants, BMCs, Chilling centers) and supply chain process. The Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) shall be informed by a set of principles like inclusiveness, meaningful dialogue, transparency, mutual respect, etc. that will be defining its core values underpinning interactions with identified stakeholders. The stakeholder engagement strategy will consider/refer to additional measures for specific circumstances during project implementation period. This will include; 1) SE mitigation measures from Resettlement Policy Framework perspective while dealing with voluntary land procurement, 2) additional SE measures while dealing with SEA/SH related grievances as per the GBV Action Plan, and 3) SE measures specific to the situation of engagement with IP community as per IPPF. Grievance Redressal Mechanism (GRM) is another important aspect of SEP. NDDB and respective Producer owned institutions (POIs) like District Milk Unions (DMUs), Producer companies etc., will designate one of their staff as Grievance Redress Officer (GRO) for the GRM as per the defined process. Estimated budget for SEP implementation for project lifecycle is approximately 12.0 million Indian Rupees and it will include activities like orientation program with POIs, physical and virtual consultations with different categories of stakeholders, development of IEC/ publicity material and cost of using social media for awareness generation, information dissemination, trainings and capacity building workshops. It will also cover the cost of documentation as well as conduct of physical and virtual trainings of direct project stakeholders including key staff members of NDDB and POIs. www.erm.com Version: Error!

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Description The proposed project will address key gaps and deficiencies in the dairy sector in focus states in India and support the sector’s transformation towards increased productivity, resilience, and profitability, while lowering emissions intensity. The project will also work closely with companion operation under development – Animal Health System Support for Improved One Health (AHSSOH) – to enhance animal health management and improve food quality and safety. By doing so, it will contribute to key aspects of the GoI and the Bank’s CPF strategic objectives related to faster and broader agriculture sector growth and inclusive development. Farmers have limited access to the organized milk processing sector. It is estimated that only about 34 percent of the marketable surplus is sold to the organized sector. Small producers, who account for 70 percent of milk production, are particularly affected. Also, milk processed and marketed by the organized sector is safer and less likely to be contaminated, which offers health and food safety benefits. In addition to the marketing and food safety challenges Productivity is low mainly due to poor nutrition, health, the low genetic potential for milk production, and the near absence of well-run genetic improvement programs. Animal nutrition is undermined not only by feed and fodder scarcity but also lack of farmers’ knowledge on how to better use existing feed resources. There is little extension advice available to farmers about improved animal feeding practices in particular. The project will help to increase milk production by improving nutrition and enhancing farmers' knowledge on how to better use existing feed resources and optimal use of feed and fodder. This would be achieved through support to extensive training of dairy farmers and doorstep delivery of ration advisory services, integrated with veterinary support, together with convergence with the DAHD program. The project will raise farmers' ‟awareness� about the importance of good quality milk and build their capacity for hygienic milk production, collection, and sale. The collective sale will strengthen farmers‟ negotiating power and reduce transaction costs for such a highly perishable commodity. The PDO is to enhance competitiveness, foster inclusion, improve resilience and reduce the carbon footprint of milk value chains focusing on smallholder dairy farmers in project areas. The Project Development Objective Indicators by end of the project period are: ◼ Increase in the share of milk sold to the organized sector. ◼ Increase in milk processing capacity under quality assessment systems ◼ Project beneficiaries adopting climate-smart practices (disaggregated by gender) ◼ Reduction in methane emission per liter of milk. The Project will focus on less dairy developed States, which have been identified based on the supply infrastructure of Producer Owned Institutions (POIs) (functional Dairy Cooperative Societies (DCSs)/ Milk Pooling Points (MPPs) coverage, milk procurement share and processing capacity) and liquid milk marketing coverage. Further, due representation has been given to the hilly & North-Eastern States. Accordingly, 6 States have been identified for the project, viz. Jharkhand, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Sikkim. The pilot activities envisaged in the project may be located within or outside the identified Indian states. The program is proposed to be implemented for a period of 5 years. NDSP Phase-II Project have four major components as summarized below; www.erm.com Version: Error!

Component A-Enhancing Institutional Capacity and Sustainability: focuses on institutional capacity development, extension and awareness generation, and resource allocation based on the gap assessment for effective implementation & monitoring of sub projects by POI. This will help in long-term sustainability with improved performance of the POI. Component B-Strengthening Dairy Market Development: having several interventions identified under four sub-components which includes:1) B1- Strengthening the dairy Supply Chain System, 2) B2- Strengthening the sales and marketing system, 3) B3-Enhancing Food Safety and Quality, 4) B4 - Strengthening dairy business operations through ICT support Component C: Productivity Improvement and Enhancing Climate Resilient Rearing practices: having several interventions under six sub-components which includes: 1) C1: Promotion of Scientific Feeding Practices, 2) C2: Demonstration of Fodder Production & Conservation Technologies, 3) C3: Control of Bovine Mastitis & EVM, 4) C4: Renewable energy solutions and GHG mitigation interventions. Under sub component C4 has interventions viz. Manure Value Chain Development Programme, Renewable Energy Solutions in Dairy and Evolving Green House Gas (GHG) Mitigation Strategies. Component D: Project Management and Learning: focus on placing a robust monitoring and evaluation system that will provide opportunities for learning and sharing good practices both in the project area nationally and internationally. This includes computerized MIS at NDDB and POIs level; External M&E (baseline survey, mid-term survey, annual surveys and end term survey surveys); other special surveys/studies; Third-party quality assurance of civil works under the project; and Support for project co-ordination and monitoring, etc. 1.2 Purpose of the Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) NDSP Phase-II Project is to be implemented in accordance with the World Bank’s Environment and Social Framework (ESF), 2016, effective from 2018; for managing and mitigating potential E&S issues. As per the requirements under ESS10 on ‘Stakeholder Engagement and Information Disclosure’, this plan has been developed to guide the engagement of various project stakeholders, including affected and interested parties with the project during its life cycle, spell the strategies and approaches that would be in place to ensure that all stakeholders are informed about all proposed project activities and their impacts in a culturally appropriate manner and mechanisms that would be developed by the project to systematically seek their feedback, while ensuring the engagement needs of the disadvantaged and vulnerable groups in the context of the project. The plan also outlines the grievance redressal mechanisms that will be made available to the project stakeholders to raise their concerns and provide feedback related to the environmental and social performance of the project. This Stakeholder Engagement Plan applies to the entire project lifecycle as outlined in the ESMF and shall be considered as an overarching guidance document with specific components that shall be updated regularly by NDDB, if required. It will be used by the Project Management Unit (PMU) of NDDB and the POIs as guidance for effective collaboration amongst the duty bearers, producers, consumers and the local communities in order to minimize and mitigate potential adverse environmental and social impacts of the project, enhance outreach and ensure that project benefits are equitably distributed among all target beneficiaries including those that are excluded, vulnerable or disadvantaged in partaking those benefits. This SEP shall serve the following purpose: ◼ Identify different categories of stakeholders in the context of this project and commensurate to the likely risks and impacts posed to them; ◼ Understand the requirements for engagement for each category of stakeholder under the project, including their information and engagement needs; www.erm.com Version: Error!

No text of specified style in document. ◼ Create opportunities for stakeholders to effectively participate in project activities and derive direct and indirect benefits from the project investments; ◼ Provide a roadmap for stakeholder engagement, including the strategies and approaches to be adopted and their timing through the project cycle; ◼ Provide guidance on the likely information disclosure and consultation strategies that the project could use based on a) their importance, b) the profile and needs of the targeted stakeholders- giving the stakeholders an opportunity to proactively participate and influence project planning/ design; ◼ Establish formal grievance/resolution mechanisms for the stakeholders; ◼ Define roles and responsibilities for implementation of the SEP, including the resource requirements; and ◼ Recommend the reporting and monitoring measures to ensure effective implementation of the SEP. 1.3 Approach to develop the SEP Social Standard (ESS-10 of WB ESF) lays a systematic approach and framework to identify the stakeholders and engage with them in a continuous process. This SEP is also developed with the similar approach wherein specific project stakeholders for NDSP Phase-II Project were identified based on detailed review of Project component & sub-components. Detailed stakeholder consultation undertaken as part of ESMF study for project informed the stakeholder identification process further and assisted in developing the understanding of engagement needs and method of engagement for different stakeholder groups identified for the project. Learnings drawn from NDP-I have also shaped the understanding to develop this SEP. The World Bank evaluation report titled as ‘NDP-I Implementation Completion and Result Report 1’ specifically highlights that NDDB’s leadership in undertaking massive training, capacity-building and promotion/dissemination program to position the project for the full investment phase and thus contributed to effective engagement with stakeholders. Thus training and capacity building program emerged as one of the key engagement methods with key stakeholder groups (like DCSs/MPPs member, dairy farmers, field level functionaries & other technical staff engaged in operation of POIs) for the success of project implementation. For project information dissemination, radio samvad is one the important methods to ensure last mile connectivity in the areas of project interventions. 1.4 Limitation This SEP document is currently not informed with the impact on stakeholders of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the project interventions, and it can be updated further after the finalisation of the ESMF document that will capture GHG emission-related impacts on stakeholders. Similarly, the present SEP document will be updated with the outcome of appropriate mitigation actions and/or exclusion criteria that shall be developed in the ESMF document to ensure that natural habitats remain unaffected due to the proposed operation. 1 https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/963861597014201705/pdf/India-National-Dairy-Support-Project.pdf www.erm.com Version: Error!

No text of specified style in document. 2. LEGAL FRAMEWORK AND REQUIREMENT FOR STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT 2.1 World Bank’s Requirement World Bank Environment and Social Framework (ESF) recognizes that effective engagement with the stakeholders can significantly improve the project outcomes and their sustainability through better acceptance and ownership by stakeholders, enhance the environmental and social sustainability of projects, and hence make a significant contribution to successful project implementation. NDDB, through the POIs, will engage with stakeholders throughout the project life cycle in a manner that enables meaningful consultations with various stakeholders on project design, and implementation. ESS10 emphasizes stakeholder engagement throughout the project life-cycle, and requires a Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP). It encourages early identification of stakeholders, both project- affected parties and other interested parties. Under ESS10, engagement must be proportionate to the nature, scale, risks and impacts of the project, and appropriate to stakeholders’ interests. It further specifies process and criteria for information disclosure and meaningful consultation and it requires an accessible and inclusive grievance mechanism, proportionate to risks and impacts. Requirement of stakeholder engagement is also underlined under ESS1, ESS4, ESS 5 and ESS7 which get addressed eventually refers to overarching SEP requirement under ESS10. 2.2 National Requirements Apart from the requirements under ESS10, this SEP also fulfills the requirements for information disclosure and stakeholder consultation prescribed under the legislations of the government of India, as discussed below; ◼ Right to Information Act, 2005: This is a progressive rights-based accountability and transparency enforcement mechanism available to citizens, which allows them to seek information related to government programs in personal or larger public interest and mandates the provision of this information within a stipulated timeframe. The Act is implemented in states through the office of the State Information Commissioners and Information officers designated for each public office. It makes the public offices and duty- bearers liable to providing correct and detailed information demanded by the citizen within designated timeframes, with mechanisms for appeals and sanctions if information provided is inadequate or incorrect. The act is applicable to the Project Proponents mainly NDDB and DAHD, GOI. ◼ Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RFCTLARR) Act, 2013: This Act requires that in case of involuntary resettlement, all project affected persons and families be duly consulted and engaged in the process of social impact assessment and the process mandatorily include community consultations to assess the nature and magnitude of impact. The Act also provides for seeking inputs and concurrence from the affected families, communities and Gram Sabha (village assembly) on the draft resettlement package prepared for them and incorporation of their suggestions and concerns in the final package. While under NDSP-II most of the POIs already possess land for upgradation and modernization, the POIs will ensure that land is available for setting up of any additional infrastructure and is free from encumbrances. Project doesn’t envisage any acquisition of private land and associated permanent rehabilitation or resettlement. However, RFCTLARR will be applicable in cases of temporary displacement or loss of livelihoods due to the project activities; www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document.

Page 4 ENVIRONMENT SOCIAL ASSESSMENT FOR NATIONAL DAIRY LEGAL FRAMEWORK AND REQUIREMENT FOR SUPPORT PROJECT PHASE-II STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT Error! No text of specified style in document. ◼ The Panchayat (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act 1996 : is enacted to provide for the extension of provisions of Part IX of the Constitution relating to the Panchayats in the Scheduled Areas {as referred to in Clause (1) of Article 244 of the Constitution}. The Act empowers Gram Sabha of the Scheduled areas to approve plans, programs and projects for social and economic developments before such plans, programs and projects are taken up for implementation at the village level. PESA is applicable to NDSP- II as many of the proposed project states and districts come under Schedule V; ◼ Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act 2006: seeks to recognize and vest the forest rights of forest dwelling Scheduled Tribes and other traditional forest dwellers, who have been residing in or accessing such forests for generations, but whose rights could not be recognised. The Act provides a key role of Gram Sabha in terms of according consent/approval for implementation of certain provisions of this Act such as; 1) Development Rights under Section 3 (2) of the Act, empowers Gram Sabha to seek developmental projects which may involve felling of trees or require diversion of forest land, 2) Individual and Community Forest Rights under section 3 (1) of the Act wherein Gram Sabha through the Forest Rights Committee (FRC) is empowered to initiate the process for determining the nature and extent of individual or community forest rights or both that may be given to the forest dwelling communities. The Act is applicable since legal access to common properties, like traditional pastures or customary grazing lands, access to seasonal forest resources to nomadic and pastoral communities or setting up community infrastructure/ centre are recognized under it upon the recommendation of the Gram Sabha. ◼ The Scheduled Caste and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act 1989: the Parliament passed the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 as a protective instrument. This Act underwent substantial amendments in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2018, and 2019. The SC/ST. This Act has been specifically enacted to deter acts of indignity, humiliation and harassment against members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The Act has been enacted keeping in view the express constitutional safeguards enumerated in Articles 15, 17 and 21 of the Constitution, with a twin fold objective of protecting the members of these vulnerable communities as well as to provide relief and rehabilitation to the victims of caste based atrocities. Applicable WB ESF requirements on stakeholder engagement commensurate to the risks and impacts from NDSP-II and national provisions related to engagement with project stakeholders will be adhered to as part of the SEP. www.erm.com Version: Error!

STAKEHOLDERS IDENTIFICATION AND MAPPING 3.1 Identification of Stakeholder Groups As per ESS10, project stakeholders are defined as individuals, groups or other entities who: (i) are impacted or likely to be impacted directly or indirectly, positively or adversely, by the Project or “affected parties�; (ii) have interests that may be affected by the project interventions and who have the potential to influence its outcomes or “other interested parties�; and (iii) persons who may be disproportionately impacted or further disadvantaged as compared to other groups due to their vulnerable conditions, and may require special efforts to ensure their participation and agency in the consultation and decision-making process or “disadvantaged and vulnerable individuals or groups�). As implementation of NDSP-II will require coordination and engagement across DAHD entities within the subject states, several NDDB teams and lenders, a specific stakeholder category on Project Proponents has also been created. Based on this guidance and the approach for stakeholder identification (Refer sub-section 1.3) the following project stakeholders have been identified: Table 3-1 Stakeholder Identification Stakeholder Category Stakeholder Stakeholders Group Project Proponents Project ■ DAHD - project proponent Proponent/Lenders ■ NDDB - project proponent ■ Project Lender and Financers, e.g. the World Bank Project Affected Local community ■ Dairy Farmers/Milk Producers, Parties ■ Customer/retailers / distributor of milk & milk products/ Milk Booths, Local Village group ■ Dairy Cooperative Societies (DCS) / Milk Pooling Points (MPP) POIs ■ State Milk Federations, ■ Milk Unions/Milk Plant, ■ Milk Producer Companies/Farmer Producer Organization (FPO)/Milk Producer Organization formed by SHGs, Dairy Sector ■ Village level functionaries such as AI technician, DCS Workforce secretary, Pashu Sakhis, Sahayaks, Animal Health Workers and other resource persons, ■ Workers engaged in operating BMCs, Chilling Plant, Dairy Plant, Milk Unions Other Interested Institutions ■ ICAR/Agriculture University/ Regional Fodder Station/ Parties Veterinary College Veterinary ■ Veterinarian/ Veterinary hospitals/clinic at institution/resource district/block/ panchayat level person ■ Cattle Feed Plant/TMR Plant Transport service ■ Transport service provider (Milk & milk provider products/seed/fodder etc.) Regulatory ■ FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) compliance department www.erm.com Version: Error!

STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS SUMMARY AND FEEDBACK RECEIVED 4.1 Stakeholder Consultations coverage As part of ESMF study, a number of consultations and focused group discussions were undertaken and these stakeholder groups can be broadly categorized as; ◼ Representatives of State level stakeholders like Federations, Animal Husbandry and Dairying Department etc; ◼ Representatives of District level government departments like Cooperative Registrar, Veterinary Department/Hospitals, Feed plants etc; ◼ Representatives of Milk Unions & Milk Plants, BMCs, Chilling Plants etc.; ◼ Members of Village level institutions like DCSs, Milk Pooling Points ◼ Members of Village level community groups such as farmers groups, vulnerable groups, women groups etc. Stakeholders covered in the consultations are listed in Annexure A of this document. 4.2 Methodology for stakeholder consultation Identification of stakeholders for consultations were limited to 15 districts across five out of the six project states in the study area as per the scope for ESA study for the project. Three districts were selected in each of the five states based on predefined criteria, which include 1) Presence of Dairy Cooperatives and Milk Unions, 2) Milk Procurement, 3) Cattle and buffalo population, and 4) Proportion of indigenous people. Selected districts for study are listed in the table below: Table 4-1 Sampled districts for study area across the five states State District Himachal Pradesh Mandi, Kangra, Shimla Uttarakhand Haridwar, Udham Singh Nagar, Dehradun Madhya Pradesh Bhopal, Shajapur, Sagar Jharkhand Garhwa, Palamu, Latehar Odisha Baleshwar, Cuttack, Bhadrak As part of methodology for carrying out the ESA study, a survey of 7500 household with milk producers at selected villages of 15 districts are being carried out. Total 10 villages in each selected districts were identified based on cattle and buffalo population at the village level. The other selection criteria is presence of indigenous population, women in dairying, POIs, extant of dairying infrastructure. Village selection were done in consultations with POIs in the selected districts. Further household’s selection in the villages has also been carried out in a way to capture the families engaged in dairying, or prospective beneficiaries, based on house listing with the local community and other factors such as Tribal and vulnerable population, APL/BPL, Women headed households, Small/medium/ large animal-holding. Besides household’s surveys, a survey of 3000 consumers is also being carried out across two urban centers for each of the fifteen selected districts. The initial list of stakeholders was prepared in discussions with NDDB which was updated after the field-testing process. Based on this, a preliminary list of stakeholders was developed along with FGD (Focused Group Discussion) checklists for each stakeholder group, in order to guide the consultations. The consultations were undertaken following three key steps; ◼ Step-I: To explain the purpose of the consultation and to share relevant Project information, www.erm.com Version: Error!

PROPOSED STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY 5.1 Principles The Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) shall be informed by a set of principles defining its core values underpinning interactions with identified stakeholders. Common principles based on “International Best Practice� include the following: ◼ Commitment is demonstrated when the need to understand, engage and identify the community is recognized and acted upon early in the process; ◼ Integrity occurs when engagement is conducted in a manner that fosters mutual respect and trust; ◼ Respect is created when the rights, cultural beliefs, values and interests of stakeholders and affected communities are recognized; ◼ Transparency is demonstrated when community concerns are responded in a timely, open and effective manner; ◼ Inclusiveness is achieved when broad participation is encouraged and supported by appropriate participation opportunities; ◼ Trust is achieved through open and meaningful dialogue that respects and upholds community’s beliefs, values and opinions. The SEP is an overarching guidance document that will need to be implemented throughout the project lifecycle. Certain sections and templates will need to be maintained by NDDB as a live document and additional measures, engagement strategies will be incorporated through the project cycle based on the experience gathered on the effectiveness of the existing methods of engagement and the implementation strategies. The engagement strategy proposed in this SEP is informed by mapping of relevant stakeholder groups identified on the basis of the review of project DPR and feedback received through extensive field consultations undertaken as part of the study. 5.2 Additional Standards to be considered The stakeholder engagement strategy will consider additional measures under specific circumstances during project implementation that includes: ◼ Voluntary land procurement: POIs will follow additional stakeholder engagement measures mentioned in Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) that will be developed as part of overall ESMF of the project; ◼ Livelihood Impact: POIs will follow additional measures mentioned in Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) that will be developed as part of overall ESMF of the project; ◼ SEA/SH Prevention and Mitigation: additional mitigation measures w.r.t stakeholder engagement under SEA/SH Prevention and Response Plan will be followed during project implementation ◼ Indigenous People: Indigenous People Planning Framework (IPPF) developed as part of ESMF will be referred to, while engaging with indigenous people under the project by POIs. 5.2.1 Voluntary Land Procurement Very limited number of project interventions (such as TMR plant, pilot on community milking center etc.) will require additional land footprint. It is also observed that mostly POIs possess excess land and POIs will ensure at the time of submitting sub project plan (SPP) that required land parcel is encumbrance free. While engaging with land owners for any additional land footprint requirement against the SPP, POIs will need to ensure that informed consent of land owners. www.erm.com Version: Error!

In such situation, specific requirement around stakeholder engagement as per ESS-5 includes; ◼ Engagement with affected community/individual be ensured through the process of stakeholder engagement as described in ESS-10; ◼ Decision-making processes related to resettlement and livelihood restoration will include options and alternatives from which affected persons may choose ◼ Disclosure of relevant information and meaningful participation of affected communities and persons will take place during the consideration of alternative project designs, and thereafter throughout the planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the compensation process, livelihood restoration activities, and relocation process. 5.2.3 SEA/SH Considerations As described in ESS10, the SEP is recommended to include SEA/SH-specific considerations regarding the process of conducting appropriate consultations. This should consider key aspects like elements like survivor centered lens, building on existing local knowledge, be evidenced-based, minimize harm to women and girls etc. Project will follow the SEA/SH specific stakeholder engagement process that will developed in the GBV Action Plan as part of ESMF document of the project 5.2.4 Indigenous Peoples Engagement mechanism with indigenous people (IP) will consider specific requirements mentioned under ESS-7 like undertake consultation with IP in culturally appropriate and gender and inter- generationally inclusive manner, involving IP’s representative bodies and organization, providing sufficient time for decision for decision making process etc. POIs will refer to Indigenous People Planning Framework (IPPF) for more guidance on engaging with IP community which will developed as part of ESMF of the project. 5.2.5 Reprisal Risks As per World Bank Commitments against Reprisals; reprisal and retaliation against those who share their views about Bank-financed projects is not tolerable. Any form of intimidation against people who comment on Bank projects, research, activities and their impact, goes against W orld Bank’s core values of respecting the people we work for and acting with utmost integrity. Responsible parties for SEP implementation will pay due attention to this commitment of WB during implementation period. 5.3 Stakeholder Engagement Methods The following mechanisms will be put in place by NDDB across the states/districts where project will be implemented, for engagement with project stakeholders based on the purpose of engagement. One level of consultations with some stakeholder groups have been carried out in sampled districts of five states that has informed preparation of this SEP document. NDDB will be required to drive the process of organizing detailed stakeholder engagement as per the engaged method discussed in the table given below. The feedback received through this engagement process should be suitably integrated in planning and implementation of the project by implementing agencies. www.erm.com Version: Error!

No text of specified style in document. 7. GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM A grievance would usually mean some form of concern by a stakeholder which needs to be redressed in order to continue smooth implementation of the project. NDSP Phase-II will need a system for redressal of grievances that may arise in the course of implementation from various stakeholders. The GRM to uphold the Project’s development outcomes as well as its social and environmental performance is designed to address concerns and complaints promptly and transparently with no direct or indirect retaliation on the aggrieved party. Grievances raised by stakeholders will need to be managed through an accountable and transparent process, at no cost. The GRM will work within the existing national and state’s legal and accountability frameworks and will provide an additional opportunity to stakeholders and interested parties to resolve their project specific grievances. The key objectives of this GRM will be: ◼ The grievance mechanism will be proportionate to the potential risks and impacts of the project and will be accessible and inclusive; ◼ Where feasible and suitable for the project, the grievance mechanism will utilize existing formal or informal grievance mechanisms, supplemented as needed with project-specific arrangements; ◼ Ensure availability of offline as well as online mechanisms which are simple to use and accessible by all the categories of stakeholders and by people with differing levels of literacy and awareness; ◼ To record, categorize and prioritize the grievances; ◼ Inform the stakeholders about the action taken or information sought and ensure that the grievances are adequately addressed and resolved within a specified timeframe; ◼ Provide a hierarchy and an appellate authority within the project management set-up for handling appeals on grievances perceived as being unresolved by the complainant; The types of grievances by stakeholders may include, but are not limited to: ◼ Grievances raised by milk producers such as issues related to membership for DCS/MPP, timely payment, milk supply, access to various veterinary services offered by POIs, doorstep delivery of veterinary services etc.; ◼ SEA-SH or any other kinds discrimination related grievances being faced by target beneficiaries in accessing the project interventions and workers/labours/Staff employed in implementation of NDSP Phase-II ; ◼ Customer’s complaint regarding quality of milk and milk products being supplied by milk unions, etc 7.1 Grievance Handling Procedure Any grievances of stakeholders related to NDSP Phase-II Project implementation, will be addressed in the accordance with the procedure defined in following sub-sections; NDDB would have a designated officer who will function as a ‘Grievance Redressal Officer (GRO)’ to deal with all matters relating to public grievances/ complaints. At the POIs level, an official will be designated to serve the role of GRO in order to facilitate in implementing the GRM for the project. The list of GROs (Contact numbers/ mailing IDs and address) would be displayed on the web site of NDDB and POIs and at other relevant locations (like notice board of DCS/MPP, Milk unions, POIs etc.) www.erm.com Version: Error!

No text of specified style in document. Page 35 ENVIRONMENT SOCIAL ASSESSMENT FOR NATIONAL DAIRY GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM SUPPORT PROJECT PHASE-II Error! No text of specified style in document. Every offices of the project should display at a prominent place/ notice board the name of GRO with location, Contact numbers/ mailing IDs and address along with the specific visiting hours for hearing / receiving the grievances/complaints. While receiving grievances either orally or in writing, following information should be recorded; ◼ Name, address and telephone/mobile number (if any) of the complainant; ◼ A brief description of the grievance along with any relevant supporting documents (if any) to substantiate the complaint/grievance; Grievances can be registered using the following mentioned channels (also refer Section 5.3 & 5.4 for detailed engagement methods) ; - Written/in paper: Using the Complaint Box kept at reception of offices of POIs. The Complaint Box should be opened on daily basis by the GRO; - Telephonic call at GRO’s contact number; - Through Email: Emails on Email IDs of the GROs of POIs/ NDDB - In person complaints: Written/verbal, directly to the GRO in office or to the concerned designated authority; In case the complainant is not satisfied with the response at a certain level, he/ she will be free to approach the next level. The complainants will also have the option to file their grievances anonymously, in case they fear retribution or if do not want their personal details to be disclosed. The grievance redressal process is delineated below; ◼ Every grievance/complaint received would be acknowledged with a unique reference number and copy of the acknowledgement with this reference number would be provided to the complainant within 3 working days of receipt of complaint (in case of online complaints) or handed over to person at the time of receipt for complaints submitted in person; ◼ The acknowledgment slip provided to the complainant, would be indicating the name, designation and telephone number of the official who is processing the case. The time frame in which a reply will be sent would also be indicated; ◼ The complainant would be quickly informed of the action taken within proposed response time suggested at each level; ◼ A record of all complaints received and action taken till disposal would be maintained at each level. ◼ A reply or action taken report on any grievance will cover all points raised and not address the grievance partially. If there is any follow- up action, it must be pursued- all partially processed grievances will remain pending in the system; ◼ No grievance is to be rejected without having been independently examined. At a minimum, this means that an officer superior, to the one responsible for the action, should examine the case as well as the reply, intended to be sent to the complainant; ◼ If a complaint is rejected, the reasons for such rejection must be made explicit and should be intimated to the complainant within the timeframe; ◼ The Complaints related to PMU will be dealt directly by the GRO of the NDDB and redressal will be done as per timeframe. The decision of the NDDB will be final and will be abided by. The GRO in the NDDB will prepare a monthly report which will include reports to be obtained from the GROs of each POIs. This report will be reviewed by the CPSC (Project Steering Committee) annually or as needed. Whenever required, the CPSC will provide guidance to NDDB, on ways to dispose of grievances in an effective manner. www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document.

The designated Environmental and social specialist at NDDB will analyze grievance records periodically. Escalations and timelines Grievances registered with GROs with NDDB and/or POIs will be addressed at three levels; ◼ Level 1: Appropriate action will be taken at the field level by concerned Field level officer (such as DCS secretary, Field Supervisor, Area Supervisor etc.) and responded back to the complainant within 7 working days from date of registration of the grievances and it will be closed; ◼ Level 2: Grievances requiring intervention from district level POIs (like Milk Union, Milk Plants, Producer Companies etc.) will be responded back within 15 working days from date of receipt of complaints at POI level and it will be closed; ◼ Level 3: If complainant is not satisfied with the action taken at level 1 & 2, then it will be forwarded to GRO at NDDB who will be expected to respond back within 30 working days from date of receipt of complaint at NDDB and whose decision shall be final and binding. If the complainant is dissatisfied with the final redress, s/he will have the freedom to adopt legal recourse to get satisfactory redress. Figure 7-1 GRM Flow Chart 7.2 SEA-SH Related Grievance Handling Women form an important part of the dairy supply chain in all the project states. In the cooperative structure their presence may be at the DCS level, as dairy farmers or at the Milk Union and Federation level as employees/institutional stakeholders. Apart from this, women are also involved as workers in the Dairy Plants, BMCs, Chilling Centres, Cattle Feed Plants, Seed Processing Plants, Biogas/Manure Plants, and other such institutions which are a part of the dairy supply chain. In the aniclliary supply chain women maybe engaged as veterinary service providers or animal nutrition officers or even training officers deployed by local NGOs/KVKs. The NDSP II project emphasis on the need for active involvement of women throughout the supply chain and has specific interventions such as deployment of Lady Extension Officers for this purpose. Keeping in mind the current and future role of women at different levels of the dairy supply chain it becomes necessary to account for their safety and ensure a formal process is put in place for any gender-based grievances (especially related to Sexual Exploitation/Harassment) that may arise. For grievances linked to SEA/SH, the survivor will be referred to the mapped service providers. Information collected by the grievance mechanism on SEA/SH should be kept to a minimum to protect the confidentiality of the survivor. Only three elements will be recorded in the grievance mechanism records : (1) the allegation in the survivor’s own words; (2) if the alleged perpetrator is, to the best of the survivor’s knowledge, related to the project; and, if possible, (3) the age and sex o f the survivor. www.erm.com Version: Error!

Table B1: Minutes of Stakeholders Consultations of Himachal Pradesh Cattle Feed Plant, Bhour, Hamirpur District| 13.12.2022 ◼ The plant was established in 2002, with an establishment cost of 1.5 crore. Land for the plant is owned by Dept of Animal Husbandry, Govt. of H.P. ◼ Main concerns: 1) Over 10% area of the state is under cultivation, of which 75 % is rainfed, facing frequent water scarcity. The soils are acidic and low in fertility. Hence, green fodder is one of the main concerns in Himachal, 2) Due to topographic hindrances, the place is very expensive. Most of the raw materials are transported from neighbouring states in avery expensive manner, 3) Feed Order issued by Govt. of India is still not is place in Himachal. As a result, various types of under specification cattle feed are available in market, which are cheaper (at least Rs. 200 per kg) than cattle fed produced by this plant, 4) Dairy farmers demand that the feed should be available at their doorstep in cheaper price, 5) Lack of training for the dairy farmers to provide knowledge about feed, fodder, milk production etc. ◼ Suggested interventions: 1) Plantation of more grasses into waste land or fallow land (which is not used for agriculture or horticulture purpose), 2) Introduction of grasses which can grow in rainfed areas as well (such as rabina, kharco, beul etc.), 3) The plant produces Cattle Feed Type II (with 20% protein and 12% fibre), Cattle Feed Type I (with 22% protein and 7-8% fibre), Mineral Mixture and Urea Molasses Mineral Mixture Block. 5) ◼ Production Capacity: Cattle Feed Type I: 100 quintal per month Cattle Feed Type II: 225 quintal per month Mineral Mixture and UMM Blocks: as per demand ◼ Market Rates: Cattle Feed Type I: Rs. 2700 per quintal Cattle Feed Type II: Rs. 2500 per quintal Mineral Mixture and UMM Blocks: as per demand ◼ Role of the Plant: Dairy co-operatives as well as Dept. of Animal Husbandry put the demand here. The plant produces 2 metric tonnes of cattle feed per hour. The machine runs for 8 hrs per day. If there is huge demand, then the machine runs for longer time. Anyone can come to see how the plant is operating (which is not the case for a private enterprise). The Plant has in-house laboratory facility. However, anyone can do the sampling if it is required (it is also mentioned in the cattle feed bag).The operational cost of the plant is INR 15,000 per day per 100 quintal which includes both direct and indirect cost. The plant consumes approximately 150 units of electricity per day. It also has an HSD fired DG set of 120 KW capacity for power backup. The feed plant does not face frequent power cuts (with prior intimation) and the DG set runs for 5-6 hours consuming 10 litres of diesel per hour. Currently there are no RE sources in the plant. The plant has two types of boilers, a diesel-fired and a wood fired, of 1000 kg capacity each. The diesel fired one requires 40 litres of diesel per hour while the wood one required 500 - 700 kgs of wood per day. The Plant has 5 solar panels to boil the water. They do not have plans to shift to biogas fired boilers in near future due to lack of availability of enough biomass/biofuel locally. The plant requires 1,000 litres of water per day which is sourced from a borewell. The plant does not generate any wastewater as such. No hazardous waste generated as such in the Plant except the used oil from DG set (which is used for lubrication purposes. ◼ Raw materials come under re-usable bags. www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document. Project No.: Error! No text of specified style in document. Client: Error! No text of specified style in document. Error! No text of specified style in document. ◼ There is an EHS officer and Plant Engineer in this plant. There is no formal waste management plan or HIRA. ◼ As per the discussion, the plant has an EC and all other licenses and permits are in place. ◼ Manpower – 19 workers are there in the entire unit which includes 1 woman. Out of the 19, 15 are contractual and the rest are permanent workers. PF and ESI provisions are there for both kind of workers. As per team’s observation the workers were not using any health and safety wares. DCS, Bain Village, Indora Block, Kangra District|15.12.2022 ◼ The VDCS was established in 1982 and is amongst one of the oldest DCS in the district and state. ◼ The DCS has 38 members/shareholders out of which 60 percent belong to General category and the rest belong to SC category. There are no ST members of the DCS currently. All the farmer members of the DCS are currently male. ◼ The DCS committee is made up of 5 members, amongst whom one member is the Pradhan. The secretary is a salaried employee of the DCS and is not part of the committee. The leadership rotation for the committee happens once every 5 years. Although there are equal opportunities for all members of the DCS to take up leadership positions, in the last few terms a General candidate has been elected as the Pradhan. ◼ Milk is supplied to the DCS from 40 – 45 HH on a daily basis. The milk supplied is mostly surplus milk left with the HH after keeping aside enough for personal use. The DCS is able to collect around 150 lpd during lean seasons and 350 – 400 lpd during flush seasons. The DCS does not collect or deal with any dairy products other than liquid milk. ◼ The rate for milk is dependent on the Fat and SNF content. Minimum requirement for fat is 3.0% and that for SNF is 7.3%. Based on the fat and SNF content of the milk being collected by the DCS, the average rate is around INR 30 – 31 per litre. Based on these rates and subject to the amount of milk supplied, the farmers ear between INR 2500 – 15000 per month. ◼ The region has a significant presence of dudhias and private milk vendors especially from Punjab. Since they provide better rates to the farmers, they are often preferred by the farmers. Thus, low rates for milk is one of the main challenges being faced by the DCS and HP Milkfed. ◼ The payment is made by the DCS to the farmers on a monthly basis, once it receives the same from the Milkfed headquarters (after processing of all receipts sent by the DCS). The payment is done in cash since the farmers find it difficult to travel to banks and withdraw money. ◼ For quality check of the milk collected (Fat and SNF), the DCS has been provided with an AMCU by the Milkfed. Apart from that the milk is checked for spoilage. This has been the practice for the last 12 years. Based on the milk quality sometimes milk is rejected by the secretary of the DCS. Rejection is more common during the summer and monsoon months. ◼ The DCS does not have any milk chilling or cooling infrastructure available with them. Milk collected is sent to the nearest BMC (8km away) on a daily basis. The collection vehicle collects the milk at 6:30 am every morning. ◼ The DCS has so far not taken up any initiatives to provide training or incentives to its farmer members. However, some occasional training have been organised by the Milkfed, although there haven’t been any in the last few years. ◼ The DCS does not have women members because women in this region are not so involved in dairy farming activities. Further, the DCS does not have any youth members because the younger generation does not find this to be an attractive business case or sustainable livelihood opportunity. ◼ The DCS is located in a single-storeyed building owned by the cooperative. ◼ The DCS has a water requirement of 20 – 30 litres per day which is sourced from piped water supply and used for cleaning purposes. The used water is drained in nearby land. www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document. Project No.: Error! No text of specified style in document. Client: Error!

Electricity is mainly consumed for lighting and AMCU purposes. DCS, Bargal Village, Shimla District | 09.12.2022 ◼ The DCS has 21 members/shareholders out of which 80 percent belong to General category and the rest belong to SC category. There are few ST families in the nearby areas, but they are not the members of the DCS currently. All the farmer members of the DCS are currently female. ◼ The DCS committee is made up of 11 members, amongst whom one member is the Pradhan. The election for the committee leadership happens once every 5 years. Although there are equal opportunities for all members of the DCS to take up leadership positions, in the last few terms a general candidate has been elected as the Pradhan. ◼ Milk is supplied to the DCS from 30 HH on a daily basis. The milk supplied is mostly surplus milk left with the HH after keeping aside 2 – 3 liters for personal use. The DCS is able to collect around 150 litre per day during flush seasons. The DCS does not collect or deal with any dairy products other than liquid milk. ◼ The DCS has taken up few initiatives to provide training or incentives to its farmer members. ◼ For example: Rs. 2000 cash incentives are given to the farmer who supply good quality of milk. ◼ The DCS does not have women members because women in this region are not so involved in dairy farming activities. Further, the DCS does not have any youth members because the younger generation does not find this to be an attractive business case or sustainable livelihood opportunity. ◼ The DCS has a water requirement of 150 litres per day which is sourced from piped water supply and used for cleaning purposes. The used water is drained in nearby land. ◼ The DCS pays an electricity bill of INR 300 – 400 per month. Electricity is mainly consumed for lighting and AMCU purposes. DCS, Bharaily, MPCS | 09.12.2022 ◼ The DCS has 31 members/shareholders out of which 90 percent belong to General category and the rest belong to SC category. There are few ST families in the nearby areas, but they are not the members of the DCS currently. All the farmer members of the DCS are currently female. ◼ The DCS committee is made up of 10 members, amongst whom one member is the Pradhan. The election for the committee leadership happens once every 5 years. Although there are equal opportunities for all members of the DCS to take up leadership positions, in the last few terms a general candidate has been elected as the Pradhan. ◼ Milk is supplied to the DCS from 170 HH on a daily basis. The milk supplied is mostly surplus milk left with the HH after keeping aside 2 to 3 liters for personal use. The DCS collect around 250 litre per day during flush seasons. The DCS does not collect or deal with any dairy products other than liquid milk. ◼ The DCS has a water requirement of 150 litres per day which is sourced from piped water supply and used for cleaning purposes. The used water is drained in nearby land. ◼ The DCS pays an electricity bill of INR 300 – 400 per month. Electricity is mainly consumed for lighting and AMCU purposes. DCS, Bargal, Shimla Block, Shimla District | 09.12.2022 ◼ The village has approximately 40 HH. Most of the HH own cattle. However, they are small dairy farmers mostly and have a herd size of 1-2 animals. Only few HH in the village have more than 3 cows. www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document. Project No.: Error! No text of specified style in document. Client: Error! No text of specified style in document. Error! No text of specified style in document. ◼ The average milk yield per cow is 12 litres per day in flush session but it reduces to 4-5 litre per day in winter. However, important to mention most animals have a lower-than-normal yield due to poor nutrition. ◼ The nearest DCS is the Bargal DCS which is located in their village itself. Approximately 10 – 15 HH supply milk to the DCS. The average income of these families range between INR 2500 – 9000 per month, depending on the quality of milk being supplied by them. ◼ The main concern of the farmers is low milk rates provided by the Milkfed. There are 2 to 3 dudhias in Bargal village. ◼ The challenges faced by the DCS are of similar nature as discussed above: high cattle feed prices, low milk prices, lack of training and awareness about ration balancing, less yield of milk due to low nutrition, high medical expenditures. CSK HPKV University, Palampur, Kangra District | 14.12.2022 ◼ HP is divided into 4 agro-climatic zones, i.e., plains, hills, mountains and alpine. ◼ In the Alpine zone mostly nomadic gujjars and gaddis with buffalo herds reside. The challenges include over-grazing and low nutrition amongst animals. The primary occupation in this zone is animal husbandry ◼ In the mountains and hills zone, horticulture and animal husbandry are the primary livelihood options along with limited agricultural activities. Here both cows and buffaloes (crossbreed and indigenous) are found. The main problems in this zone are of fodder scarcity due to undulated terrain and cold climate. Landholdings are small and fragmented here. 90 percent of the landowners here own less than 0.5 hectares of land. The Government land has mostly been acquired and forest land is out of bounds for fodder cultivation. Further, wild animals like monkey and wild boar tend to create menace and harm plants/crops. ◼ Most of the rural population in the state is migrating to nearby cities and states for jobs. This is why dairy farming as an activity is not so popular amongst the younger generation ◼ HPKV Veterinary College has pilots running of a feed plant, silage processing unit, silage in drums, silage in bags and fodder bank. The silage unit has an annual turnover of INR 9 crores and supplies to private as well as government agencies. ◼ Feed and fodder are a major challenge in HP. Dry fodder is expensive and difficult to procure. On the other hand, local dairy farmers prefer exotic breeds due to demonstration of high yield. However, due to poor nutrition these exotic breeds are not being able to provide the desired milk yield. Feed and breed go hand in hand. ◼ Animal husbandry has 04 key pillars, i.e., feed, breed, management, and health. ◼ Breeding has to be done using scientific techniques and keeping in mind the local climactic requirements. ◼ Climate Smart Dairying: They are working on feed supplements with locally available materials that will have lower methane emissions. The two products being developed by them are -Urea Molasses Block -Protein Energy Bolus ◼ They have been working on these for the last 25 years. What is needed is sharing the benefits of these with the farmers to ensure that they adopt these practices. ◼ They conduct direct trainings and capacity building workshops for farmers. But these are all sponsored programmes. The main topics covered include agro-climatic zone based dairy farming, feed and fodder management, balanced nutrition, feeding schedules etc. www.erm.com Version: Error!

No text of specified style in document. They are conducting research on ethno veterinary medicines for treatment of animal diseases at the University. A group of researchers who discovered anti- cancer properties (for animals) of the Kuth plant have also been given an award Dairy Farmer, Bain Village, Indora Block, Kangra District| 15.12.2022 ◼ Approximately 40 – 45 HH supply milk to the DCS ◼ All the HH own cattle. However, they are small dairy farmers mostly and have a herd size of 2-3 animals. Only 4 – 5 HH in the village have more than 5 cows. But these HH are not supplying milk to the DCS because of low rates. ◼ The average milk yield per cow is 12 – 15 litres per day. However, this is dependent on the feeding practices. Most animals have a lower-than-normal yield due to poor nutrition. ◼ The cow breeds commonly owned by the dairy farmers are Jersey and HF. Indigenous breeds are not generally preferred due to low milk yield. However, Feed and breed are currently not going hand-in-hand. Exotic/crossbreeds such as Jersey and HF have been introduced in HP for improving milk output. But due to lack of proper feed they are unable to provide the desired output. ◼ The animals are mostly productive for 14 – 15 lactation cycles after which they are taken care by the dairy farmer families till the die. ◼ Existing feeding practice in HP is mainly stall feeding. Grazing is very limited due to small landholdings. The constituents of cattle feed in HP are green/dry fodder (depending on availability), Turi (wheat straw) or paddy straw, green leaves, composite cattle feed, choker (wheat bran), jow ka atta (Dalia), calcium, tarameera/ yellow mustard husk/locally grown anaaj husk. ◼ Feed is mainly purchased from the local market and nearby shops. Many farmers are not aware about the feed manufactured by the Milkfed. Those who are aware feel that the feed is not suitable for all types of animals or is not producing the desired yield. However, the main challenge faced by the farmers is the high prices of feed and fodder. ◼ The average income of these families range between INR 2500 – 15000 per month, depending on the quality of milk being supplied by them. However, the profits are minimal since the expenditures incurred in rearing milch animals is high due to high feed and fodder rates in the region. ◼ The farmers feel that the milk rates provided by the Milkfed are very low, which is why they prefer selling milk directly in the market or to Dudhias or Private Dairies. Since the region is very close to the Punjab border there is a strong presence of such stakeholders in the area and the market is extremely competitive. There are approximately 10 dudhias and 1 private dairy operating in Bain village. ◼ The common diseases which affect milch animals in their village include FMD, Bovine Mastitis and Milk Fever. Treatment is locally available but expensive, according to the farmers. ◼ The women in the village are not so involved in dairy farming and hence the DCS does not have female dairy farmer members. The women of the HH are mostly only engaged in the milking process. ◼ The dung is mostly used by the farmers as manure for their fields while the urine is drained in nearby water drains Dariyari Village, Indora Block, Kangra District | 15.12.2022 ◼ Approximately 10 HH supply milk to the DCS. The average income of these families range between INR 4000 - 5000 per month Amongst milch animals, mostly cows are owned by dairy farmers here and the buffalo population is minimal. ◼ The average landholding in this village is 2 – 2.5 acres per family. The total land owned by each HH is mostly divided into three equivalent parts, one for fodder cultivation, one for agriculture and one for settlements. www.erm.com Version: Error!

This is primarily due to the harsh weather conditions during the winter season which is not suitable for the animals. ◼ Usually 40 kg of fodder, 4 kg of feed, 50 – 100 ml of calcium and 40 litres of water is required per animal per day. However, this also depends on the type of animal, milk output, age and specific requirements. ◼ Feed is mainly purchased from the local market and nearby shops. Many farmers are not aware about the feed manufactured by the Milkfed. Those who are aware feel that the feed is not suitable for all types of animals or is not producing the desired yield. However, the main challenge faced by the farmers is the high prices of feed and fodder. Due to the high rates of Turi and other forms of fodder the farmers are being compelled to compromise of the feed being provided to their animals which in turn is leading to problems of poor nutrition and milk yield. ◼ Ration balancing is not practised and feed is prepared based on cost economics, self-knowledge and local availability of roughage, concentrate, fodder and supplements. ◼ The farmers are aware about the Kisan Credit Card Scheme available for livestock purchase, wherein they can get a credit of up to INR 1.5 lakhs. 5 women dairy farmers in the village have also availed of this scheme and are happy with it. ◼ The common diseases which affect milch animals in their village include FMD, Warts, Bovine Mastitis and Milk Fever. Treatment is available in the nearby Veterinary Dispensary which is 2.5 km away and costs INR 400 – 500 per visit. The cows were also affected by the recent Lumpy Skin Disease epidemic and the village witnessed 4-5 mortalities. ◼ One of the major health problems being faced by the animals is difficulties in getting pregnant even after availing AI services. This can be attributed to poor animal nutrition according to the local Veterinary Pharmacist. ◼ Women in the village are mostly engaged in milking activities. ◼ All HH have refrigerators for storing milk after the milking process. They also undertake household level processing of milk to make Ghee which they sell in the local market. ◼ The dung is mostly used by the farmers as manure for their fields while the urine is drained in nearby water drains. ◼ The dairy farmers usually have bulbs, coolers and fans in their cowshed since it gets really hot for the animals during summers. They incur monthly electricity charges of up to INR 1000 for the same Dairy Farmer, Bhattladha Village, Palampur Block, Kangra District (Gujhredha DCS) | 14.12.2022 ◼ The village has approximately 60 HH, out of which 50 HH own milch animals. They are mostly small dairy farmers mostly and have a herd size of 2-3 animals. Only 3-4 of the milch owning HH in the village have more than 5 animals. Out of the 50 milch animal owning HH15 – 20 HH supply to Gujhredha. The rest sell to local dairies or dudhias. ◼ The average landholding in this village is 5-7 bigha per family. The total land owned by each HH is mostly divided into three equivalent parts, one for fodder cultivation (40%), one for agriculture (40%) and one for settlements (20%). ◼ The nearest DCS is the Gujhredha DCS which is located 1.5 km from their village. Approximately 15-20 HH supply milk to the DCS. The average rate of milk is INR 30 per litre. However, the profits are minimal since the expenditures incurred in rearing milch animals is high due to high feed and fodder rates in the region. ◼ All HH have refrigerators for storing milk after the milking process. They also undertake household level processing of milk to make Ghee which they use for self-consumption. www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document. Project No.: Error!

The dairy farmers usually have bulbs in their cowshed. ◼ The challenges faced by the DCS are of similar nature as discussed above: high cattle feed prices, low milk prices, lack of training and awareness about ration balancing, less yield of milk due to low nutrition, high medical expenditures. Dairy Farmer, Dariyari Bhapoo MPCS | 15.12.2022 ◼ The DCS has 27 members/shareholders out of which 50 percent belong to General category, 40 percent to OBC category and the rest belong to SC category. There are no ST members of the DCS currently. Out the 27 shareholders, 7 -8 are women. ◼ The DCS committee is made up of 7 members, amongst whom one member is the Pradhan. The secretary is a salaried employee of the DCS and is not part of the committee. The leadership rotation for the committee happens once every 5 years. Although there are equal opportunities for all members of the DCS to take up leadership positions, in the last few terms a General male candidate has been elected as the Pradhan. ◼ Milk is supplied to the DCS from 10 HH on a daily basis. This includes members and non-members. From February onwards, the flush season sets in and the number of HH supplying milk increases. However, the milk supplied is mostly surplus milk left with the HH after keeping aside enough for personal use. ◼ The DCS is able to collect around 150 lpd during lean seasons and upto 200 lpd during flush seasons. The DCS does not collect or deal with any dairy products other than liquid milk. ◼ The rate for milk is dependent on the Fat and SNF content. Minimum requirement for fat is 3.0% and that for SNF is 7.3%. Based on the fat and SNF content of the milk being collected by the DCS, the average rate is around INR 29 - 30 per litre. Based on these rates and subject to the amount of milk supplied, the farmers earn between INR 4000 - 5000 per month. In flush seasons the income may go up by INR 1500 per HH. ◼ For quality check of the milk collected (Fat and SNF), the DCS has been provided with an Analyser and Lactometer by the Milkfed. After manually testing using these methods the rate is determined by the secretary based on the rate chart. Apart from that the milk is checked for spoilage. Based on the milk quality sometimes milk is rejected by the secretary of the DCS. Rejection is more common during the monsoon months, when 15 – 20 litres of milk is rejected in a month. ◼ The DCS does not have any milk chilling or cooling infrastructure available with them. Milk collected is sent to the nearest BMC on a daily basis. ◼ The DCS has so far not taken up any initiatives to provide training or incentives to its farmer members. However, some occasional training have been organised by the Milkfed, although there haven’t been any in the last few years. ◼ The DCS does not have any youth members because the younger generation does not find this to be an attractive business case or sustainable livelihood opportunity. ◼ The DCS is located in a rented premise. The society pays a rent of INR 2000 per month as rent, which includes electricity charges as well. ◼ The DCS has a water requirement of 10 - 15 litres per day which is sourced from piped water supply and used for cleaning purposes. The used water is drained in nearby land. ◼ For countering flies and mosquitoes, the Secretary uses a self-formulated insecticide spray. It is a combination of Dettol and another locally available medicine. Women Dairy Farmers, Dogri, Shimla Block, Shimla District | 09.12.2022 www.erm.com Version: Error!

The water is obtained from piped-water supply. After cleaning the water is drained through the nearby drains. ◼ The BMC consumes 1600 units of electricity per month. They have one DG set of 63 kVA which require 2 litres of diesel per hour and runs for approximately 2 hours every day. ◼ The BMC does not have/require any EC or license from PCB since they are not processing or producing any product. ◼ The BMC has 9 staff members out of which 6 are dairy helpers (outsourced), 2 MPAs and 1 Technical Superintendent. There is only 1 female employee. ◼ Once of the main challenges faced by the BMC is that it is situated on a single lane main road. Hence this leads to vehicle congestion during the collection time everyday. Chilling center and BMC, Kepu Block, Shimla District | 09.12.2022 ◼ The plant handles 14000 litres of liquid milk per day right now. In flush season it handles approximately 25000 lpd. ◼ The plant has 04 bulk milk cooling machines. Two are of 5000 litres capacity while the other two are of 500 litres capacity. It also has a milk chiller of 2000 litres capacity. ◼ Rejection of milk is not so frequent. However, it is more prevalent during during monsoons due to spoilage ◼ Cleaning-in-process is carried out daily at the BMC. ◼ The plant requires 3000 litres of water per day for cleaning purposes. The water is obtained from a submersible pump. After cleaning the water is sent to an ETP and then drained in the nearby fields. ◼ The plant consumes 3000 units of electricity per month. They also have one DG set of 163 kVA which require 4 litres of diesel per hour and runs for 2 hours every day. ◼ The plant has been set-up on government land. ◼ The BMC has a clearance from the State Pollution Control Board for operation of the milk chilling machine. ◼ The BMC has 13 staff members out of which 10 are dairy helpers (outsourced) and 2 MPA and 1 Technical Superintendent. There is one female employee. ◼ The plant also has a facility for storing cattle feed which comes from the Hamirpur Cattle Feed Plant of HP Milkfed. It is the distribution centre for cattle feed. The facility can store 300 bags (1.5 tonnes) and receives supplies 8 – 10 times a month. Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Sundernagar | 12.12.2022 www.erm.com Version: Error!

It is a district level organisation which is involved in the testing of new technologies and solutions being developed by universities/departments and do further research on their feasibility. Once the viability of a technology/solution is tested, it is the DAHD’s responsibility to scale up these solutions. KVK’s are not involved in mass implementation of solutions. ◼ Along with solution testing the KVK’s are also involved in providing skill training to farmers and providing demonstrations t o them on new technologies/solutions. ◼ HPKV is currently developing a new mineral mixture for cattle feed. This is being developed on the basis of locally available supplements and climatic requirements of different agro-climatic zones of the state. The KVK is involved in providing demonstrations on this. Along with that its is also providing training to farmers on how to balance the feed readily available at the village/local level. ◼ According to the Director, in HP, farmers cannot go for dairy farming as a single enterprise which will sustain their livelihood. Due to the harsh terrain and climatic conditions this will not be a sustainable solution. Instead, farmers should focus on a mix of livelihood activities/enterprises which they can take up for ensuring steady income throughout the year. ◼ The KVK conducts 2-3 off-campus trainings and 1 on-campus training every month. For off-campus trainings they try to cover all blocks in the district, across the year. From the insights they get from these off-campus trainings they get an idea about a pool of farmers who they feel would benefit from on- campus training and then invite them for these trainings. They have a Veterinary Scientist who presides over these trainings. The content is also circulated through their Social Media (like WhatsApp) handles. ◼ The specific focus areas of the off-campus/on-campus trainings are as follows: - Mineral Mixtures and Ration Balancing - Disease Management Pilots (including Ethno-Veterinary Medicine) - The KVK also conducts trainings on behalf of other departments. But these are chargeable to the respective departments. ◼ The main issues/challenges in the state of HP according to the KVK director are as follows: - The state has small and marginal farmers who have small and fragmented landholdings and small animal herds. The main reason for this is the terrain of the state. - The lack of availability of green fodder in the winter months and the cost implications of procuring it from other states. - The increasing price of Wheat Straw (Turi) which is procured from nearby plains. Prices have risen from INR 800 per quintal to INR 1400 per quintal in the last year. - The poor quality of fodder which is locally available in the state. - Far flung areas with poor connectivity which makes marketing and supply a challenge - Rate of milk provided to the farmers by the Milkfed is very low which makes it a challenge for the small farmers to sustain their livelihood. ◼ One of the proposed solutions is the value addition of milk at the village level. Small HH level industries would be instrumental in developing the local economy. In this regard village level milk processing centres could be an activity that could be taken up across the state under NDSP II. www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document.

Initially she would exclusively sell Milk and milk products. But over the years an increase in rent and lower demand she also keeps other groceries. Currently she sells packaged milk, dahi, paneer, lassi, ghee and butter. ◼ The sale of Ghee has reduced over time even though it is a preferred product because of its quality. Previously 15 – 20 kg of ghee was sold daily while now it has come down to 4-5 kg ◼ Dahi is a slow-moving product since it has quality issues. The consistency of dahi received from Milkfed is not the same for every batch. On some days it is thick and has a good quality while on other days it is extremely watery and dilute. ◼ Currently there is strong competition in the dairy product market. Several brands have entered the market which has led to a decrease in individual brand sales. Along with that a small network of Dudhias are also operational who procure milk directly from the villages and sell it at the consumer’s doorstep. Given that this is a convenient option some HH are preferring this. The Dudhias operate on a cluster basis. They create a pool of 30-40 HH which they cater to and provide door-to-door services to them. Several sweet shops/halwais also purchase milk from Dudhias. ◼ The problem with butter and ghee is that it is not available in smaller packaging. The HP Milkfed butter is only available in 500 gm packaging and ghee in 1 kg packaging. Due to that those consumers who have a requirement of smaller quantities are being left out. ◼ Storage: A deep freezer is used for storing milk, dahi, butter and paneer. Lassi is kept in a can at room temperature during winters and inside the deep freezer during summer. Ghee does not require temperature-controlled storage due to the cold weather around the year. ◼ The shop is operated out of a rented premise for which a monthly rent of INR 300 and electricity charges of INR 350 are incurred ◼ The retailer does not undertake any promotional initiatives or campaigns Milk Retailer, Ambay General Store, Mandi Main Market | 12.12.2022 ◼ This shop has been selling HP Milkfed products for the last 10 years. Initially she would exclusively sell HP Milkfed products but now (after lockdown) they also keep other brands. Currently they sell packaged milk, dahi, and ghee. ◼ They also keep products of Kamdhenu and Verka. Kamdhenu milk is preferred by consumers while the HP Milkfed Ghee is preferred. The quality of Milkfed products have improved over the years. Around 8-9 years ago it was not so satisfactory and customer complaints were common Milk Retailer, Sundernagar, Mandi District | 12.12.2022 ◼ This shop has been selling HP Milkfed products for the last 22 years. Basically, it is a daily need shop. He also keeps some other small grocery items including tea, coffee, sugar etc. just to increase the sale of milk. He is the only one who sell HP milk in the entire area. ◼ Currently he sells packaged milk (12 to 15 litres per day), dahi, lassi, and ghee (20 kg per month). Paneer and butter are sold on order basis. ◼ The quality of dahi is a point of concern. The consistency of dahi received from Milkfed is not good as dahi of Verka. ◼ Currently there is too much competition in the dairy product market. Several brands have entered the market which has led to a decrease in individual brand sales. Along with that a small network of Dudhias are also operational who procure milk directly from the villages and sell it at the consumer’s doorstep. Given that this is a convenient option some HH are preferring this. www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document. Project No.: Error! No text of specified style in document.

Lassi is kept in a can at room temperature during winters and inside the deep freezer during summer. Ghee does not require temperature-controlled storage due to the cold weather around the year. ◼ The retailer undertakes promotional initiatives like encouraging local people to buy HP milk for the first time, and if they don’t like he will return the money. Department of Animal Husbandry | 07.12.2022 ◼ The DAHD is mainly looking at breeding and animal health for dairy animals. They have a dedicated team for Animal Health at each district level. AI and free vaccination takes up a major part of their activities. ◼ There are some schemesunder the Mukhya Mantri Swabilamban Yojana, currently being implemented by the industries department for encouraging dairy farming. These have provisions for direct subsidies and interest subvention ◼ Recently the DAHD was engaged in a total prevention campaign for the Lumpy Skin Disease which affected several cows and buffaloes across the state. ◼ For breeding, the Phase IV of the National Health Programme is being implemented in the state on a 90:10 basis. 90 percent of the cost is borne by the central government. ◼ Pahadi, Jersey, HF, Red Sindhi and Sahiwal are the common cow breeds prevalent in the state. Similarly, Murrah and Neeli Ravi are the common buffalo breeds. Cross breeding is also being done with the objective of increasing yield and disease resistance. Sorted Sex Semen trials are also being done is some areas of the state. ◼ Cow breeding is being done across all districts of the state. However, buffalo breeding is happening mostly in areas with warmer climate and lower altitude, such as, Una, Hamirpur, Bilaspur, Sirmaur and parts of Solan. ◼ While scientific calf rearing does not have too much focus at the moment, the department is focussing on special services for pregnant and lactating animals. ◼ The state has a HP Gau Seva Aayog which focuses on providing food and shelter to stray cows. They are also looking at strategies for GHG mitigation in these cows. This could be an EIA to consider by NDDB. ◼ HP is a fodder deficient state. In winter and summer the farmers have to procure wheat straw (Turi) and paddy straw from nearby states (Punjab and Haryana) which becomes a costly affair. This is one of the major challenges in the state and could be a focus area for NDSP II activities. ◼ There is no central assistance for fodder management or production. The state currently has its own scheme ongoing, with a total outlay of 5 crores and a timeline of 5 years. It is being implemented in cattle and sheep farms across the state. This is currently in implementation stage and the fodder will be available in the next 2-3 years. ◼ As such ration advisory services are not being provided in the state. However, there are some basic state-specific advice being provided to the farmers through the Veterinary officials at the village level. The DAHD also has this uploaded on their website along with advisories on disease management, fodder management and livestock management. Milk Vendor, Rampur Bushahr, Rampur Block, Shimla District | 09.12.2022 ◼ Dudhia collects milk from 15 – 20 HH in the neighbouring villages approx. 20 km away. ◼ The amount of milk collected is around 100 lpd during lean seasons and 150 lpd during flush seasons. www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document. Project No.: Error! No text of specified style in document. Client: Error! No text of specified style in document. Error! No text of specified style in document. ◼ The rate for milk is dependent on the quality of the milk, average rate is around INR 45-50 per litre which is found to be much higher than the rate fixed by Milkfed. Based on these rates and subject to the amount of milk supplied, dudhia earns INR 15000 – 20000 per month. Lactometer is used to check the quality of milk collected. ◼ Milk is collected in plastic jar or cans from doorstep and through utility vehicle transport to the market area. 50% of the collected milk is supplied to the sweet shops at Rampur Bazar, rest are supplied to few households. This has been the practice for the last 15 years FSSAI Office | 07.12.2022 ◼ The role of FSSAI in the state is the monitoring of milk processing and distribution in the state along with quality of milk and milk products. For this purpose, relevant standards, licenses and sampling/testing mechanisms are in place. Time to time testing is carried out by the respective FSSAI offices in each district. ◼ Currently there is one FSSAI office in each district of the state. Each office has one Assistant Commissioner, Food Safety and one/two Food Safety Officers. In total there are 12 Assistant Commissioners and 16 Food Safety Officers in the state. Along with that each of the labs have technical staff for carrying out testing of samples. ◼ One of the main challenges faced by them is the lack of manpower and infrastructure. ◼ Testing of milk/milk products is done at the business level by FSSAI. Milk is usually collected from booths or private dairies. Per month every FSO collects 3-4 milk/milk product samples in each district for testing purposes. There is only one certified testing lab in Solan. All samples are sent there for testing. ◼ The following quality issues related to milk and milk products are most common in the state ◼ Lack of safe and hygienic packaging by vendors/retailers ◼ Adulteration practices by farmers for increasing fat content of milk. Sometimes excess water content or vegetable fat are being found in milk samples collected by FSSAI. ◼ High levels of pesticides in the milk samples due to pesticide contamination of the feed being given to the milch animals HP Milk Federation | 07.12.2022 ◼ Milk Federation was established in 1983. There is a two-tier system prevalent in the State, i.e., the Milk Federation and it’s Dairy Plants/Milk Pooling Points at one level and the Dairy Cooperative Societies (DCS) at the village level. ◼ The objective of the federation has been to encourage the formation of more numbers of DCS and daily coverage of all farmers who are engaged with them. ◼ The Milk Fed collects, processes and supplies cow milk and milk products including ghee, butter, curd, paneer, khoya, flavoured milk, lassi etc. It also manufactures panjiri and biscuits which it supplies to ICDS across the state. Further, during festive season it manufactures and sells sweets. ◼ Currently the federation operates in 11 out of 12 districts of the state. In these 11 districts it covers 36 out of total 78 blocks. Lahaul Spiti district is not covered by the Milk Fed since people of that district prefer Yak Milk which does not fall among the products of the federation. ◼ The main milk producing districts are Mandi, Shimla and Kullu ◼ One of the main challenges faced by the HP Milkfed is the low demand for liquid cow milk across the state. 1.3 lakh litres of milk is collected by the federation on a daily basis, out of which only 24000 is sold through retail/wholesale stores. The rest is used for processing into milk products as well as www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document. Project No.: Error! No text of specified style in document. Client: Error! No text of specified style in document. Error! No text of specified style in document. sold by the federation to Mother Dairy and Delhi Milk Scheme as bulk milk sale. The reason for low demand is that the federation procures 99 percent cow milk whereas the consumer preference is for buffalo milk. Also, there are several competitors in the market (other brands such as Amul, Super, Kamdhenu, Verka, Mother Dairy etc) who sell buffalo as well as cow milk. ◼ Only single time collection is possible in the state due to hilly terrain, is also a challenge for the Milkfed. Moreover, they are mandated to collect all types of milk to ensure subsistence income for farmers. This leads to a compromise on the milk quality. ◼ Another challenge faced by the MilkFed is farmers’ dissatisfaction with the rates provided for Milk. In Kangra district most of the milk produced is Buffalo milk. Thus, the dairy farmers are preferring selling it to Punjab where they get better rates. The Milkfed tried to address this issue by increasing the rates for buffalo milk to be at par with Punjab. But in that case the dairy farmers supplying cow milk also demanded a raise of INR 4 -5 per litre. This kind of an increase is not feasible for the Milkfed at the moment as it will be a huge financial burden. ◼ Bulk Vending Machines have not been successful in HP. The main reason for that is low liquid milk sale and limited marketing initiatives. Another reason for its failure is the space constraint for installing the machine due to hilly terrain across the state. ◼ The main dairy plants of the HP Milkfed are located in Shimla, Mandi and Kangra. Other districts have small processing plants of approximately 5000 litres capacity. There are a total of 23 BMCs/Chilling Centres across the state. ◼ In HP the flush season is June to September and the lean season is in Winter due to the harsh climatic conditions. During the lean season procurement reduces by 40 percent. ◼ Atleast 350 village level DCS across the state have AMCUs installed. This has helped in bringing transparency regarding fat and SNF content and hence milk rates. There is a heightened demand for AMCU installation across remaining DCS as well. The Milkfed is interested in taking this up as an activity under NDSP II ◼ Community Milking Centres will not be feasible in HP according to the Milkfed. This is because of the terrain constraints and low milk procurement. ◼ In HP, the functions of Milkfed and Dept. of Animal Husbandry are different when it comes to dairy farming. The Milkfed looks at procurement, processing and sale of milk and milk products. The DAHD is involved in animal rearing, breeding, feed and fodder management and health Veterinary Polyclinic, Rampur Block | 09.12.2022 ◼ The structure of veterinary system in the state: There are Veterinary Dispensaries at the village-cluster level and Veterinary Hospitals at the block or higher level. The Veterinary Dispensary has 01 Vet Pharmacist and 01 Animal Husbandry Attendant. The Veterinary Hospital has 01 Vet Officer (Doctor), 01 Vet Pharmacist and 02 Animal Husbandry Assistants. Under each Vet hospital there are usually 3 – 4 Vet Dispensaries. ◼ The Veterinary Polyclinic is like a referral centre. There is 01 Vet Polyclinic in each district. It has 04 Vet Doctors, 03 Vet Pharmacists and 04 Animal Husbandry Assistants. There are 08 functional polyclinics in HP at the moment. ◼ The polyclinic deals with cases which are not solved at the dispensary or hospital level. It also has the responsibility to implement district level disease outbreak control. Recently they have done so for the Lumpy Skin Disease Outbreak. Prior to that it was FMD. ◼ The main issue with cattle in HP is nutritional deficiencies. Most farmers are not able to afford proper cattle feed and folder. The dairy sector in HP is largely female farmer dominated and most have small animal herds. Hence, it becomes difficult for them to sustain this business. ◼ Due to a cold climate the animals are not prone to too many diseases in the hilly areas of the state. In the plain/foothill districts the advent of diseases is more due to warmer climates. www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document. Project No.: Error!

No text of specified style in document. ◼ Bovine Mastitis, Bovine Hematuria and Milk Fever are the commonly prevalent diseases in HP ◼ The polyclinic provided mineral mixture and deworming medicines during awareness campaigns organised by it. These camps are organised 1-2 times a year as a part of relevant Government Schemes. It covers approximately 100 farmers at a time ◼ One of the common practices being adopted lately by farmers here is the removal of milk fat before selling it. This is reducing the quality of milk (since fat and SNF are the two criteria for determining the quality of milk at the DCS level) and hence the rate received by farmers. In some villages there are FPOs involved with dairy farming. There the practices are improving. ◼ The current focus of the polyclinic is the implementation of Departmental schemes and dealing with problems of nutritional deficiency and infertility. Infertility is a big challenge in the state and is being induced by poor animal nutrition and unscientific feeding practices. ◼ There are two disease investigation labs in HP district – one in Shimla and one in Mandi ◼ The current treatment being provided for Bovine Mastitis is antibiotics based. Ethno Veterinary Medicine used to be practised earlier. But it is not so prevalent at the moment. This is because the younger generation has more trust in allopathic medicines. The Department is conducting some research on natural herbal preventative treatments and in some places these are being prescribed on a trial basis. E.g. Spinach root powder for warts. ◼ Bio-medical waste management practices are not in place at the Vet Dispensaries or Hospitals in the state. However, the polyclinic being a larger set up has to follow proper bio-medical waste disposal practices www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document. Project No.: Error!

Table B2: Minutes of Stakeholders Consultations of Odisha Cuttack Milk Union | 07.12.2022 ◼ The Milk Union year of establishment is 1976, milk procurement begun in 1982 ◼ 4 districts come under the milk union: Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara & Jajpur ◼ Cuttack Milk Union is the highest milk procurement union in Odisha, Jagatsinghpur district being the highest milk provider in the state − Total primary societies organised so far: 1622 − Functional primary societies: 1394 − Registered primary societies: 943 − Total organised farmers: 180722 − Currently 60,000 farmers are involved with the union − There are 88 total BMCs under the milk union of which 72 are presently functioning ◼ Tirtol Milk Chilling centre is the only manufacturing unit under the union. All other manufacturing units for the state are under OM FED and unions don’t market the products, they are only responsible for procurement of milk ◼ There are 10 main chilling plant units under the union which also function as administration units for their area of operation ◼ Activities carried out by the Milk union: o Organisation of Anand Pattern Dairy Co-operative Societies in its area of Operation. o Procurement of milk from the rural milk producers from their doorstep through the Dairy co-operatives at a remunerative price. o Chilling/Processing of procured milk for marketing to the Urban consumers of milk & Milk Products. o Sale of milk and milk products to the urban consumers at a affordable price. o Support of Technical input activities, animal healthcare, breeding etc. Training & orientation programmes, through Training & orientation programmes, through OMFED Training & Demonstration Centre located at Jagannathpur, Khurda, and o Supply of Cattle Feed, produced by OMFED Cattle Feed Plant at a subsidised price to the milk producers. o Tirtol Milk Chilling Center provides the products to Paradip port through 7-8 parlours and ~80 booths and Kendrapara through 2-3 parlours o The Milk Union bears both external (milk can collection routes) and internal transportation costs. Internal transportation constitutes milk tankers for the transportation of milk from BMC to Chilling centers and from Chilling centers to Manufacturing facility at Tirtol and other manufacturing facilities. The overhead cost of transportation comes to 3.10p per liter of milk across its life cycle. ◼ Challenges: o Currently no schemes are being implemented by the union o Last scheme was implemented in 2020 under NDP-I o Competition from the private players. Banas dairy (Banaskantha District Cooperative Milk Federation, Palanpur) has started procuring milk in the district form the last one year, providing higher prices to the farmers thus reducing the procurement of the DCS and the Union. The dairy sends the procured milk to Calcutta for processing. www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document. Project No.: Error! No text of specified style in document. Client: Error! No text of specified style in document. Error! No text of specified style in document. o The union provides Rs. 32.05 per liter; Milk Moo provides Rs. 1.15 more; Pragati provides Rs. 1.17 more and Amul provides Rs. 1.67 more. The Federation is in talks with the Odisha Government for pricing changes. ◼ Suggestions/Requirements: o CNG in vehicles for transportation will reduce costs o Introduction of Solar energy o Trainings and awareness programs Adaspur Milk Chilling Center (AMCC), Cuttack, Odisha | 06.12.2022 ◼ The Chilling plant was established in 1985 under the Cuttack Milk Union. There are 206 Dairy Cooperative Society (DCS) supplying milk to the chilling centre, of them 175-180 DCS are currently functional. 43 of these are WDCS (women dairy cooperative society) and 163 are ◼ The chilling centre handles 18,000 liters per day (LPD) of milk with average milk fat of 4.5 and average SNF of 8.2. The maximum capacity of the chilling center is 25,000 LPD. During the flush season (April to August) the per day collection goes up to 30,000 LPD. ◼ 7-8,000 litres of water is consumed per day for majorly cleaning purposes: milk cans, chilling center premises, machinery, milk trucks etc. The water is drawn from a borewell, the depth of the borewell is 50ft. There are two rivers near the facility, Prachi river (100 meters) and Devi river, which are attributed to the high-water levels in the region ◼ The waste water generated in discharged in a drain which opens in a pit, which is present in the compound ◼ Process: o Milk in the AMCC directly comes from DCSs on their currently functional 16 routes (transport managed by the AMCC) and 4 BMCs (having capacity of 2,000 LPD, 2,000 LPD and 1,000 LPD) o The milk is weighed, Temperature is noted and Organoleptic test is conducted by AMCC staff o Test samples from every milk can is taken and 1 sample from each compartment of the milk tanker is taken by the lab staff for testing. The test conducted are salt, sugar, neutralizer, acidity, urea, glucose, starch, flour, fat, SNF, adulteration, coliform o The milk is then transferred to the bulk milk cooler. The temperature of the tank is maintained at 4o C. o Once the Road Milk Tanker is loaded with the chilled raw milk a sample is drawn for testing o The tanker is then sealed and sent to the processing and manufacturing plant of the Federation o The tanker milk is again tested at the processing plant and a challan is sent to the Union of the sample test results ◼ If a DCS sends adulterated or spoiled milk the payment for that can is not made to the DCS. The milk is either returned or drained. The milk is drained in the water drain and flows in the pit. ◼ Approx. 60L of diesel is used per month in operating DG sets (Rs. 25,000 per month). The DG sets are silent DG sets and have no soundproof box. The DG sets are maintained by an annual maintenance contractor. The diesel is stored in plastic jars and were kept right next to the bulk milk cooler. There was no proper storage space for the diesel www.erm.com Version: Error!

The electricity connection is an agriculture connection. ◼ The chilling facility works as an administration unit for all the DCS that supply milk to them. The track sheet is prepared by the DCS with litres of milk, fat and SNF for every member and payment is released to the DCS bank account based on the track sheet every 10 days. ◼ There are two meetings that happen monthly, a) Staff review meeting with the General Manager of the Union and P&I In charge of the chiller facility; b) A meeting at the head office in Bhuvneshwar ◼ There is a Manure Management Plant at the chiller facility for the past 2 years, the machinery is present but the plant has not yet been made functional ◼ For cattle feed, mineral mixture and calcium the DCS places an order at the chiller facility. The chiller facility places the order with the Union. The Union then procures the things from the federation run cattle feed plant. ◼ Major Challenges: o The machinery at the chilling centre is old and needs upgradation . There are frequent Compressor breakdowns. When this happens the road milk tanker is loaded with the available milk and sent to the federation to avoid milk spoilage. o Competition from the private players. Banas dairy (Banaskantha District Cooperative Milk Federation, Palanpur) has started procuring milk in the district form the last one year, providing higher prices to the farmers thus reducing the procurement of the DCS and the Union. The dairy sends the procured milk to Calcutta for processing. o Other private players are Pragati, Milk moo o The standards set by the federation for procuring quality milk are minimum 4.0 fat and 8.0 SNF. The private players buy the milk being rejected by the cooperatives based on fat and SNF and are paying a higher price for it. They have no adulteration checks and other quality checks while providing higher rates. Primary producers are hence making a shift from the cooperative to the private players o The price rate set by the Government of Odisha for 1L of milk is less and is not providing enough margins for the Union, DCS to function. o No training and awareness programs are being conducted from 2017-18 o Currently there are no schemes being implemented o Lumpy skin disease is prevalent and is affecting the milk production of cattle o During COVID a price incentive was being provided by the Government of Odisha to the dairy farmers for every litre of milk, which increased the procurement of milk. Post COVID the incentive has stopped which has increased the number of farmers giving their milk to private players o There are no major schemes or services the AMCC is able to provide the farmers for their continued association, the price being provided being already low o Many dairy producers in the districts don’t know how to milk a cow. They hire vendors to milk their cows. The mode of payment depends on the vendor, he either takes money (Rs. 500-600 per cow per month) or takes the milk from the producers at a low rate and sells it privately o Penalty structure of Omfed.is a hurdle especially during the lean season of milk production. The penalty is based on the SNF in the milk. The minimum SNF accepted by Omfed is 8.0. If a farmer brings in milk with 8.0 SNF he is charged Rs. 1 per litre as penalty. If the SNF is 8.1 the farmer is charged Rs. 0.50 per liter of milk. No penalty is charged at SNF level of 8.2 and above. The farmer brings in quality milk and are also being charged penalty, the same milk is being fetched a higher price by Private players, this is discouraging the farmers to give milk to cooperatives. o No first aid service is being provided to the DCS, which was previously being provided. It has been closed now. www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document. Project No.: Error! No text of specified style in document. Client: Error!

The Unloading cost at the DCS level is paid by the society. ◼ Challenges: o Competition from the private players. Banas dairy (Banaskantha District Cooperative Milk Federation, Palanpur) has started procuring milk in the district form the last one year, providing higher prices to the farmers thus reducing the procurement of the DCS and the Union. The dairy sends the procured milk to Calcutta for processing. o Other private players are Pragati, Milk moo o The standards set by the federation for procuring quality milk are minimum 4.0 fat and 8.0 SNF. The private players buy the milk being rejected by the cooperatives based on fat and SNF and are paying a higher price for it. They have no adulteration checks and other quality checks while providing higher rates. Primary producers are hence making a shift from the cooperative to the private players o The price rate set by the Government of Odisha for 1L of milk is less and is not providing enough margins for the Union, DCS to function. o No training and awareness programs are being conducted from 2017-18 www.erm.com Version: Error!

No text of specified style in document. o Currently there are no schemes being implemented o Lumpy skin disease is prevalent and is affecting the milk production of cattle o Penalty structure of Omfed.is a hurdle especially during the lean season of milk production. The penalty is based on the SNF in the milk. The minimum SNF accepted by Omfed is 8.0. If a farmer brings in milk with 8.0 SNF he is charged Rs. 1 per liter as penalty. If the SNF is 8.1 the farmer is charged Rs. 0.50 per liter of milk. No penalty is charged at SNF level of 8.2 and above. The farmer brings in quality milk and are also being charged penalty, the same milk is being fetched a higher price by Private players, this is discouraging the farmers to give milk to cooperatives. o Milk production costs are increasing since the cattle feed price is increasing, medicine and feed supplement costs are increasing while the milk price per litre is not increasing o Cattle feed does not reach on time at far of DCS’ due to transportation problems o OMFED seals the procurement liters for the union depending on demand. This affects the engagement with the farmers and the farmers divert to private players. ◼ Suggestion/Requirements: o Household biogas units (previously 10 beneficiaries were part of NDP-I) o Solar infrastructure o Training center refurbishment o Trainings and Awareness programs o Price margin between federation and union should increase for effective management Women DCS, Paunsikuli, Bhadrak, Odisha | 10.12.2022 ◼ Dairy farmers in the village have average livestock holding of 3-4 cows per household ◼ There are 365 households in the village, out of which, around 80 percent of the farmers own cattle. ◼ Out of all dairy farmers, 60 percent gives milk to Paunsikuli WDCS while 30 percent gives milk to private vendors.

During the flush season, the quantity increases to 5-6 litres per cow. ◼ The major expenditure is buying cattle feed for the dairy farmers. A cow on average consumes 3 bags3 of feed per month. Average expenditure per cow in around INR 3,000 per month. The cost of cattle field is INR 1170 per bag if bought from the DCS. The market price of the feed is INR 1200-1500 ◼ The key challenges include: o Milk pricing 3 A bag of 50 kg www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document. Project No.: Error!

It is also to be noted that some farmers sell milk that did not meet the quality standards at DCS level, they often sell it to a private vendor for other milk products like sweets. o Another major issue is expenditure on medicines and vaccination. Every consultation costs around INR 300. Farmers buy medicines from the DCS and if any medicine is not available, they have to buy it from the market. There is no free vaccine provided by the government as well as federation. o The major diseases include Theileria, Lumpy, and cold.

Average expenditure per cow in around INR 3,000 per month. The cost of cattle field is INR 1200 per bag if bought from the DCS. The market price of the feed is INR 1350. ◼ The key challenges include: o Milk pricing is one of the key challenges. Villagers reported that Omfed offers INR 28-30 per litre of milk while sell it for INR 45 per litre in the urban areas. o The private vendors buy milk but irregular procurement and arbitrary pricing is a challenge for farmers selling milk to private vendors. It is also to be noted that some farmers sell milk that did not meet the quality standards at DCS level, they often sell it to a private vendors. o Another major issue is expenditure on medicines and vaccination. Every consultation costs around INR 300. Dairy farmers in the village preferred private doctor because they charge INR 200 – 250. o Farmers buy medicines from the DCS and if any medicine is not available, they have to buy it from the market. There is no free vaccine provided by the government as well as federation. o The major diseases include Theileria, Lumpy, and cold.

Training on calf rearing techniques is essential o Ration balancing program under NDP-I was successful and is important for increasing the yield o Infrastructure at the DCS and Union level is 15 years old and needs upgradation. Under NDP-II the financial cost of that updation is being split as 60% (WB) and 40% by Union. The financial condition of the Union is not very strong as price per litre of milk has not increased and procurement has gone down due to private competition. According to the union and federation, the union will not be able to contribute 40% for infrastructure upgradation and if support for infrastructure development is provided under NDP-II, it should be 100% o Under NDP-I software’s were provided at the DCS level for AMCUs.

Table B4: Minutes of Stakeholders Consultations of Jharkhand Development, Department of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry & Co-operative | 05.12.2022 ◼ In each financial year the block level offices invite application from the villagers to take benefit from the various schemes implemented by the department and Government of India. The received applications were scrutinized based on the different criteria (e.g., indigenous people, financial background, unemployment, widow, etc.) and selected list were forwarded to district offices for processing. District Dairy Development offices again scrutinize and forward the application to Directorate of Dairy Development, Department of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry & Co-operative, Jharkhand from where all applications were sent to DAHD, New Delhi. ◼ In each financial year DAHD, New Delhi sanction a budget based on the scheme allotment (recurring) and fresh requisition from the Directorate of Dairy Development, Department of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry & Co-operative, Jharkhand. Further the fund allocated to respective Districts and finallygiven to the beneficiaries. ◼ Separate funds were reserved for the Training activities running in two training institutes located at Ranchi and Dumka. Full time residential training program of one month was provided to the trainees with theory and practical classes. The training programs run according to the training calendar developed for each financial year with a target. ◼ Apart from providing subsidies for the development of the dairy livestock the department also provide Artificial Insemination (AI) facility to the farmers. As per the data shared in financial year 2021-22 total 8.4 lack cattle were artificially inseminated by the department covering 11% share from all India AI coverage. ◼ Information regarding different schemes o Mukhyamantri Pasudhan Vikas Yojana – The Chief Minister Livestock Development Scheme (CMLDS) is an umbrella scheme under which different schemes are proposed for different sections. o Two Cow Scheme - women belonging to families that are affected by disasters, fire, or road accidents, or those who are abandonment or disabled shall be given two cows and buffaloes at a subsidy of 90 percent. Except for the widows, childless couple and disabled all other beneficiaries are to get 75 percent grant from the scheme. o Kamdhenu Dairy Farming Scheme (KDFS) – Under the sub-schemes of KDFS the subsidy of 75 percent is being provided to the beneficiaries coming from the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes for procuring 5 milch animals namely cows and buffaloes under Mini Dairy scheme, and 10 milch animals under the Midi Dairy Scheme. At the same time, the subsidy given to the beneficiaries coming from other categories except that of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes is set to 50 percent of the project cost. o Subsidy of 90 percent for manual chaff cutters for beneficiaries belonging to Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribes as well as the Milk Producers Society. o To encourage progressive farming practices in the state 90 percent subsidy is to be given to beneficiaries coming from the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes and Milk Producers Society to help them procure Milking Machines, Paneer- Khoya Machines, Cow mats and boring machines, whereas a subsidy of 75 percent is to be provided to beneficiaries from other categories. ◼ Challenges: www.erm.com Version: Error!

No text of specified style in document. o Lack of manpower – The department is currently running 68 officers and some casual staffs (need based). Around 10-12 officers will retire in this financial year. Thus, a scarcity of manpower is evident to run the DAHD activities in 24 districts and in the head quarter Jharkhand Cooperative Milk Federation Ltd | 05.12.2022 ◼ Jharkhand Cooperative Milk Federation Ltd. (JMF) came into existence in 2013. In March 2014, JMF joined hands with National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) to extend the developmental spirit of the dairy development programme in the state of Jharkhand. Jharkhand State Milk Federation (JMF) implemented various dairy development programme in the State for a period of five (2013-2018) years. Over this time span, there has been a drastic improvement in the production of milk as well as the number of employed dairy farmers. The milk production has reached up to 1,80,000 liters per day as of 2022. The number of farmers associated with JMF has increased from around 2,000 in the year 2013 to 30,000 in the year 2022. ◼ In April 2014, NDDB took over the management of JMF which included milk procurement, processing, and marketing activities and launched the brand “Medha�. NDDB assigned Mother Dairy – which is renowned for its high-quality milk and milk products in the country – to assist the brand in its market operations. This helped Medha to become renowned amongst the public and have a strong foothold in the market. Subsequently, NDDB took over the existing Government Dairy at Ormanjhi in August 2014 and two other dairies at Deoghar and Koderma in September 2014. It not only helped the brand to get established but also enable it to capture a reasonable share of the Jharkhand Milk market. Currently, Medha is producing 1 lac liters of milk every day by three milk production plants in the state, located in Deoghar, Koderma and Ormanjhi. ◼ Current process followed in Jharkhand: ◼ In Jharkhand JMF is directly procuring Milk from milk producing farmers. At village level they have Milk Pooling Points (run through agents on commission basis). The agents were provided with Milk testing machine, Milk collection cans and transport (auto) for their functioning. The collected milk then sent to Bulk Milk Coolers (established based on milk collection potential, generally one in a block). Further the milk sent to Milk processing plants (in Hotwar and Ormanjhi plant for Ranchi and nearby districts). The payments of milk procurement were done directly by JMF in their bank accounts of respective farmer Divyayan Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ramakrishna Mission Aashrama | 06.12.2022 ◼ Divyayan KVK has been striving to achieve the four zero goals viz. o Zero conventional energy use - by installing solar panels to generate 10KW power, Solar Water Heater, Solar Street Lighting System and gobar gas plant. o Zero water loss - goal being achieved through establishment of water harvesting structures in Divyayan KVK farm. o Zero chemical uses - use of chemicals in KVK farm has been replaced by organic fertilizers and pesticides. o Zero plastic zone - Goal being achieved through banning the use of plastic in KVK farm. ◼ Divyayan KVK has been continuing its regular activities for enhancement of agricultural productivity & profitability and for upliftment of farming community with special emphasis on organic farming like o Long duration residential skill development training for rural youth, o Conducting on farm trials (OFT) and o Front line demonstration (FLD) for assessing, refining, and disseminating technologies, organizing field days, o Farmers scientist interaction, www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document. Project No.: Error! No text of specified style in document. Client: Error! No text of specified style in document. Error! No text of specified style in document. o Kisan melas, o Animal health camp, o Workshops and other extension programs ◼ Challenges: o Low turnaround or rural youth after training – KVK organize the long-term trainings for the rural youth to provide them the technical knowledge with practical training. But after completion of the training very low (approx. 10-20%) trainees adapt the learned lessons in their farming practice or start their own production. Most of the trainees search job in large dairy farms or agriculture farm to get a job based on the knowledge they have acquired from the training in the KVK. o Limited support from the State Departments to support the schemes – KVK conducts on farm trials (OFT) and front-line demonstration (FLD) in selected village to demonstrate that the developed methodologies or the species (from the lab research) can survive in the local environment. Also, they demonstrate the precautions or solutions of any problem arising in the local environment due to various factors. E.g. they provide a cattle breed in a village to demonstrate how the breed can adapt with local climate and give better milk production if scientific feeding practice, vaccination, disease control and artificial insemination etc. were done in the scheduled time or when needed. o Due to less manpower the reach of State Animal Husbandry department is very less in the interior areas of Jharkhand resulting in unavailability of Veterinary doctors, vaccination, and AI facilities etc. Faculty of Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry| 06.12.2022 Cattle breed Improvement o The awareness regarding the cattle breed improvement is very less among the farmers in semi-urban and remote villages. In urban areas some progressive farmers are aware about the program and implement it in their dairy business to have cattle/ buffalos with increased milk production capacity. o BAIF (Bharatiya Agro Industries Foundation) –BAIF has evolved innovative models of micro-enterprises to ensure inclusive development through dairy husbandry and sustainable agricultural production for food security and poverty alleviation. In Jharkhand they run their operation a BAIF Institute for Sustainable Livelihoods and Development (BISLD) – Jharkhand. They were running Dairy Cattle Development Centre in 24 districts of Jharkhand with The Govt. of Jharkhand issued Office Order No. 63 dated 10.11.2010, which ended in the year 2015. Then the field workers advised to work on the SEY (Self Employed Youth) Mode providing AI services from the centers. Currently Government of Jharkhand has formed a new agency named Jharkhand State Implementing Agency for Cattle and Buffalo Development (JSIA) o Jharkhand State Implementing Agency for Cattle and Buffalo Development (JSIA) – The agency came into existence in 2014 with the focus of transforming huge population (>95%) of nondescript (ND) poor productive cattle and buffalo into good productive and profitable animals of high genetic worth by following A.I (Artificial Insemination) with the frozen semen of males of well-known high productive breeds. They are running around 3000 AI centres (Panchayat level) divided in three zones covering the entire Jharkhand. Following are the role and responsibilities of the organization: Implementation of animal breeding schemes. www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document. Project No.: Error!

No text of specified style in document. o To provide suggestions and assistance to the State Government in the development of departmental infrastructure and institutions for breed improvement and animal development. o Implementing new technologies for sustainable animal development. o Implementation and execution of Centrally Sponsored Schemes. Based on the climatic condition of Jharkhand following breeds were recommended for the farmers to keep for better milk production. o In urban areas – Jersey. Great milk production potential. Needs balanced diet, disease monitoring, and AI service which is easily available at urban centers. o In Semi-urban areas – Gir or Sahiwal. Good milk production potential. Less vulnerable to diseases. Can produce milk on natural available diet in addition to green fodder. AI or natural mating recommended for this breed. o In rural areas – Tharparkar. Milk production potential is moderate. Can survive on naturally available diet. The male cattle produced has good physical build for the agriculture work. Training Programs running in the institution o Multipurpose AI Technicians in Rural India (MAITRIs) o Currently one veterinary doctor is deputed in a block covering more than 20 villages and more than 200 cattle. It is not possible to monitor the breeding health of such large number of cattle by one veterinary doctor daily. Due to the lack of staff the target of cattle breed development program could not be achieved. o To cater this problem Multipurpose AI Technicians in Rural India (MAITRIs) training program was introduced by DAHD in 2021 under the Rashtriya Gokul Mission (RGM). In this program selected farmers will be trained to perform artificial insemination, semen selection, breed selection, common diseases, dairy improvement practice etc. Under this program farmers were trained for one month in the training center (veterinary colleges) and then associated with block level veterinary clinic (Government department – Directorate of Dairy Development) to provide practical experience. The aim of this project is to train a greater number of AI technicians at village and panchayat level to cater the current and future needs. Regular training on Dairy Technology o A training program is designed covering all theory and practical aspects related to Dairy Business. This 10-day long training program is available in both sponsored and non-sponsored mode. Trainees sent by government departments, co-operatives etc. were exempted from any payment while the non-sponsored candidate are charged Rs. 1000 for this training. Services Provided by the Institution o The veterinary clinic is being run by the institution free of cost for the farmers and at nominal charges for the public. Anyone can visit with their cattle for the treatment in this clinic. Apart from the clinic there are demonstrational o Solid waste and bio-medical waste management o The bio-medical waste generated from the animal hospital and the college are incinerated. The biodegradable solid waste generated were composted while the non-biodegradable solid waste were provided to the municipal waste collection vehicle Milk Processing Plant, Jharkhand Milk Federation | 07.12.2022 www.erm.com Version: Error!

Full time residential training program of one month was provided to the trainees with theory and practical classes. The training programs run according to the training calendar developed for each financial year with a target. ◼ Apart from providing subsidies for the development of the dairy livestock the department also provide Artificial Insemination (AI) facility to the farmers. As per the data shared in financial year 2021-22 total 8.4 lack cattle were artificially inseminated by the department covering 11% share from all India AI coverage. ◼ Information regarding different schemes: Various beneficiary-oriented subsidy programs e.g., 2 Milch Cattle Induction on 90% subsidy to BPL women beneficiaries, Assistance to Progressive Dairy Farmers, Heifer Rearing Program, Kamdhenu Dairy Farming (5/10/20/50 milch cattle & 4 milch cattle to Tana Bhagat Families) are implemented on varying subsidies. Apart from this, distribution of cattle feed on subsidized rate and training as well as skill development program of rural dairy farmers, unemployed youths & Progressive dairy farmers are implanted on 100% subsidy. ◼ Training, extension & skill development – Implemented on 100% subsidy to train rural dairy farmers, unemployed youths, progressive dairy farmers & entrepreneurs. ◼ 2 Milch Cattle Induction on 90% subsidy to BPL women beneficiaries – For BPL Women beneficiary (i) Recommendation of Gram Panchayat on selected beneficiary list obtained through EoI.

One veterinary doctor is in-charge of 2 or more blocks for the project implementation, monitoring and disease control. Also, lack of technical staff and supporting staff add more hardship in proper functioning of the departmental machinery. Requisition for staff recruitment was forwarded to the concerned department of Government of Jharkhand and the files are still in processing stage. www.erm.com Version: Error!

No text of specified style in document. oLack of vehicle and driver – Due to lack of manpower one doctor is functioning as coordinating person for multiple blocks and district resulting in increased travelling. The department have limited number of vehicle and drivers to provide them conveyance services resulting in delay in co- ordination and monitoring Veterniary Doctor, Latehar, Jharkhand | 07.12.2022 ◼ There in only one veterinary doctor provided for this cluster including Garhwa, Latehar and Palamu districts. Their details are shared with all BMC and MPP operators. They organize camps in different villages based on the request from respective BMC and MPP operators. No scheduled training/ camp calendar available. ◼ The diseases and problems commonly seen in the animals of this area are Bovine mastitis, Theileriosis, bovine babesiosis, milk fever, viral infections like FMD, HS, BQ ets, seasonal digestion problem and infertility problems. The JMF veterinary doctors only provide advice and diagnosis. Based on that farmers purchase medicines from market and give to their cattle. Information regarding different schemes ◼ Sanjeevani (A private financial company) under the CSR activity, has signed a MoU with JMF for providing cattle disease control support in selected areas of Jharkhand. Under this program Cattle Health Camp and De-worming camps were organized by their veterinarians providing one stop solution to farmers. Challenges ◼ Reaching to interior villages – Being a single doctor in three districts, it is a challenge to reaching out the dairy farmers living in interior villages. ◼ Unavailability of trained and active AI workers – There is a scarcity of trained AI workers in the cluster districts, resulting in no remarkable progress in breed improvement in the cluster districts. The remuneration to the AI workers is very less, thus they are not active and only attend those farmers who pay theme extra money for the AI. ◼ Unavailability of veterinary doctors from AH department – Duo to less manpower (Veterinary doctors and Dairy technicians) in animal husbandry department, the government veterinary hospitals are not very much active. When the farmers actually need doctors, they could not reach them or contact them resulting in delayed diagnosis of any disease or AI. ◼ For Balance ration feeding – JMF is producing in house Cattle Feed and Mineral mixture. They have a BIS certified cattle feed plant at Hotwar, Ranchi inside the Milk Processing Plant campus. The products made available to the dairy farmers on subsidy price through BMCs and MPPs. However, the subsidized price is also too high for poor farmers resulting in very less product demand. As a pilot, it was proposed that a farmer can give consent to JMF for deduction of 20-30% amount of milk payment, which will be used to provide cattle feed and mineral mixture to the farmer when required Krishi Vigyan Kendra Seed Multiplication Farm, Balumath | 08.12.2022 ◼ The Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Balumath, Latehar was sanction in March 2007, and it came under the jurisdiction of Birsa Agricultural University Kanke, Ranchi-6.

The remuneration to the AI workers is very less, thus they are not active and only attend those farmers who pay theme extra money for the AI. o Unavailability of veterinary doctors from AH department – Duo to less manpower (Veterinary doctors and Dairy technicians) in animal husbandry department, the government veterinary hospitals are not very much active. When the farmers need doctors, they could not reach them or contact them resulting in delayed diagnosis of any disease or AI.

This data automatically transmitted to the server through internet and accessible to respective BMC and JMF employees for further processing. As soon as the data reaches the JMF server the farmer receives acknowledgement SMS in his/ her registered mobile number with the details (quantity, fat, SNF, payment value etc.) of milk provided. ◼ The electricity requirement of the MPP is fulfilled by the solar charging batteries. ◼ The Milk billing was done in 3 cycles in a month and accordingly the payment released in the respective bank account ◼ Issues from Dairy Farmers o The rate of milk should be increased. Based on the fat and SNF level in the milk average Rs 25-35 per liter was provided which is less than the market rate of Rs 50 per liter. o If the rate could be increased up to Rs 40 per liter, the milk collection will increase up to 1000-1200 liter per day. o Currently due to winter season milk collection is less. o Milk cans should be provided by the JMF for bringing the milk to the centers. Earlier the 5 Liter milk cans were distributed in 2017. Most of the farmers bring milk in their own metal cans few observed using the plastic jars of 2-5 Liter. o Veterinary medicines for disease control were not provided by JMF. District animal husbandry office is located nearby. Farmers coming to the MPP used to visit the veterinary doctor in case of any need. But the same doctor is in-charge of another 2 blocks, thus the availability was not sure at the clinic. o For artificial insemination (AI) no aid or support provided by JMF nor by Animal Husbandry department. o For AI, vaccination and disease control villagers are relying on local untrained workers (known as Jhola Chaap doctors). o Women are also involved in the dairy business. Almost all the dailyactivities are take care by women only. Men ensure the availability of feed for the cattle and supply of milk to the market or MPP. It could be summarized as 60-70% work is done by women only. www.erm.com Version: Error! No text of specified style in document. Project No.: Error! No text of specified style in document.

However, only 50-55 farmers are providing milk regularly. ◼ Issues from Dairy Farmers o In addition to the issues highlighted by farmers of Balumath MPP (above) the following are additional issues faced by Hambu MPP: o The DPMCU machine in the MPP is out of service from last 12-15 days, currently manual billing is done. This results in delayed data processing resulting in delayed payment. o In case of faulty DPMCU the milk was tested at BMC in their absence, and they are getting paid almost 10 rupees less per liter of milk. o Veterinary medicines for disease control were not provided by JMF nor by Animal Husbandry department. Last time they got medicines in 2019. o For artificial insemination (AI) no aid or support provided by JMF nor by Animal Husbandry department. o For AI, vaccination and disease control villagers are relying on local untrained workers (known as Jhola Chaap doctors). o Some farmers tried the cattle feed manufactured by JMF.

In rest of the year due to lack of irrigation facility they are unable to grow the fodder for their cattle. District Dairy Development office, Palamu | 08.12.2022 Challenges ◼ Lack of manpower – The department is currently running 11 officers and some casual staffs (need based). One veterinary doctor is in-charge of 2 or more blocks for the project implementation, monitoring and disease control. Also, lack of technical staff and supporting staff add more hardship in proper functioning of the departmental machinery. Requisition for staff recruitment was forwarded to the concerned department of Government of Jharkhand and the files are still in processing stage. ◼ Lack of vehicle and driver – Due to lack of manpower one doctor is functioning as coordinating person for multiple blocks and district resulting in increased travelling. The department have limited number of vehicle and drivers to provide them conveyance services resulting in delay in co- ordination and monitoring. ◼ Lack of AI technicians at Panchayat level to cater the need of every village on timely manner MPP, Village – Marwaniya, Ramna, Garhwa, Jharkhand | 12.12.2022 ◼ Milk Pooling Point (MPP) is functional from last 5 years.

The milk collection time is 6-9 in the morning and 5-7 in the evening. ◼ Issues from Dairy Farmers o A new BMC should be opened in Bhawanathpur area to reduce the transportation cost. o Milk rates should be increased. o Death of cattle is a major problem in this area. Due to lack of medical support and proper diagnosis many dairy farmers lost their cattle and faced serious loss. o Government should start cattle insurance in very low premium so that poor farmers can also avail this facility and will get compensation in case of cattle death. o Milk cans should be provided by the JMF for bringing the milk to the centers. o Number of veterinary doctors should be increased in JMF. In every district there should be two veterinary doctors assisted by two technical officers to cater the need of each district. o Cattle feed should be provided in more subsidized rate. The current rate is only Rs 3-4 less than the products available in the market. Subsidized cattle feed shall be made available at 50-60% of the current market price. www.erm.com Version: Error!

And also a specialised person for each unit is not available. o Fat analyser is not available at 50% of the BMC/DCS NGO- FarCow Welfare Society | 08.12.2022 We had a meeting with Sandip Chourasia, the owner of the FarCow Welfare Society NGO. This NGO working on improving the breeds of cows to enhance milk production which in turn will increase the farmer's income. And they are working on the skill development of women and making them self-dependent for their livelihood. FarCow NGO came into existence in the year 2019 and got legal status on 14th January 2020 under the Society Registration Act, of 1973. The NGO working on improving the breed by introducing Artificial Insemination (AI) and for semen they have tied up with ABS India which is the supplier of semen. And they also got the dealership for Madhya Pradesh from Ruhuri Semen Station (a unit of NDDB Dairy Service based in New Delhi). And they are working on modern agricultural techniques for providing the best quality feed (Pashu Ahar) to increase the productivity of farmers. They are promoting organic agriculture practices and teaching farmers about them. As reported by him, the fat analyser available at DCS is not correct and it shows less fat percentage than private dairy industries. And he also said that the mass vaccination program by Government is not succeeded due to a cold chain issue where Govt. does not have a proper place to store the vaccine. We also discussed resource consumption in the dairy sector. As per him, around 200 litres of water per day is required for each cattle. Water is the main issue with the dairy industry. Exploited area such as Shajapur, faces water scarcity during the month of summer. He also informed us that, cattle can produce as maximum as 30kgs of a dunk per day and this can be used as manure in the agricultural field. We also discuss the environmental and social concerns related to the dairy industry. People can understand about the breeding or AI technology and with each passing day, the younger generation is getting interested in it and wants to join it. And through this, the younger generation will connect with the dairy industries. He also said that climate change has a major impact on the heat cycle of a cattle in the fields. Due to temperature rise, the heat cycle of animals has changed and due to this stress is increasing in cattle which indirectly impacts their milk production. He discusses the limitation of AI or semen. As per him, there is shortage of liquid nitrogen at the market which is required to store Semen.
