History

It will be established with a cost of INR 15 crore (150 million),[2][1] based on a Memorandum of understanding signed between State Government of Haryana with MASHAV in April 2015.[3][4]

Objectives

Haryana aims to be the leading state of the country in milk production. Israel, a leading country in terms of its dairy management techniques, can be a good model for the State to follow. Israel and India produce 36 liter and 6.868 liter milk per milch animal respectively. Israeli technical assistance can help Haryana become a leading state in terms of milk production.[2]
