Addressing the gathering Amit Shah said that today when we are moving towards the White Revolution 2.0, the importance of sustainability and circularity takes precedence.

Shah said that the main goal of White Revolution 2.0 is sustainability and circularity and we need to take care of it from the very beginning of White Revolution 2.0.
Amit Shah further said that India’s dairy sector plays a huge role in the country’s as well as rural development and in making landless and small farmers prosperous. He said that it has taken care of our country’s nutrition, contributed in making the country the world’s number one milk producer and also provided additional income to farmers apart from agricultural income.
The Union Minister said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has set three goals for us, viz. to become a 5 trillion-dollar economy, to be the third largest economy in the world, and become a fully developed country in 2047.
He said that to achieve these three goals, we will have to develop a mechanism to explore and utilize all possibilities in every sector to the fullest. He said that the dairy sector has today taken a visionary initiative to spread good practices related to circularity to 250 milk producer associations.
Amit Shah said that India’s agriculture system is based on small farmers and their migration from villages to cities is associated with their prosperity.
He said that dairy is an important option to make small farmers prosperous along with overcoming the problem of rural migration. Minister Shah said that this seminar will prove to be very useful to work with a holistic approach to explore all the possibilities of the dairy sector to the fullest.
