Shah said in the first 100 days of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s third term, the Ministry of Cooperation has taken “10 important initiatives out of which three are being launched today”. These initiatives will help make the cooperative sector self-reliant and broad-based, he said.

Shah said: “Many people are apprehensive about whether budget support will be available for this programme (White Revolution 2.0) or not. I assure the Animal Husbandry Department that this is the highest priority area of the government and this programme will get full budgetary support.”
