In order to double the income of farmers and animal rearers, Union Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh has said that the Union government has been working consistently from the past 4 years. Under the Rashtriya Gokul Mission Yojana, Chief Minister of Uttarakhand Trivendra Singh Rawat along with Radha Mohan Singh laid the foundation stone of the Sex Sorted Semen laboratory at Deep Frozen Semen Production Centre Shyampur, Rishikesh. The lab is billed as the first such state institution in the country where the technique of producing female calf through artificial insemination in animals will be developed.
Chief Minister of Uttarakhand said the Rashtriya Gokul Mission is to conserve the indigenous cow breeds and enhance their milk productivity. The sex sorted semen laboratory being set up in Rishikesh will play an important role in this and further said that through animal husbandry, the target of doubling farmers’ income can also be achieved.
Besides, the agriculture minister stated that Animal husbandry is the backbone of the rural economy but there is lack of productivity in the sector and adding that a laboratory of this kind will help increase milk production and boost farmers’ income. He also said that it is because of the government’s efforts that more than 700 agricultural scientists in the country have come out of laboratories and reached field level for ground testing.
