A new milk laboratory has been established in Sikkim as part of the National Programme for Dairy Development, aimed at enhancing quality control in the dairy sector.
The National Programme for Dairy Development (NPDD) has taken a significant step forward with the establishment of a dedicated milk laboratory in Sikkim. This initiative is designed to strengthen the infrastructure for dairy quality assurance within the state.
The new facility will play a crucial role in testing dairy products to ensure they meet national safety and quality standards. By bringing laboratory services closer to local producers, the program aims to boost consumer confidence and support the livelihoods of dairy farmers in the region.
This development aligns with the broader government objective of modernizing the dairy sector across India. The Sikkim Milk Lab is expected to serve as a key node in the state's dairy value chain, facilitating better market access for high-quality produce.
