Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said the poultry industry is a very important and fast growing business of India’s agriculture sector. Despite low investment, limited land and resources, this business provides an opportunity for more income. Also, this industry supplies protein-rich food and is also becoming a means of livelihood for millions of people.
The Haryana Chief Minister said this while chairing a meeting with the members of the Indian Poultry Federation at his residence today. Education Minister Sh. Mahipal Dhanda, President of Indian Poultry Federation Sh. Ranpal Dhanda, Vice President Sh. Sanjeev Gupta, poultry experts and farmers associated with poultry business were present in the meeting.
The Chief Minister said that better connectivity, robust logistics and effective cold chain network is required for timely supply of poultry products. From this point of view, Haryana is the most suitable state in the country for this industry.
He said that a strong and modern network of road, rail and air connectivity has been prepared in Haryana. At least one national highway passes through every district of the state. Apart from this, the government is developing the National Capital Region (NCR) as a logistics hub, which includes 16 out of 22 districts of Haryana.
This opens the doors of immense possibilities for the poultry business. The Chief Minister said that the demand letter submitted to him by the Poultry Association will be seriously considered by holding a meeting with the officials and the rules will be simplified.
He called upon the people associated with the poultry business to also follow the rules, so that the general public does not have to face any problem. He said this industry in the state is providing direct and indirect employment to more than 3 lakh people.
He said we can strengthen this sector by giving continuous training to the farmers associated with poultry farming on topics like business management, disease control and marketing. He said there is a serious problem of poultry waste management. Simple, cheap and effective technology is required for its disposal.
There is a need to work on this area. The country is moving towards becoming a ‘Viksit Bharat’ under the able guidance of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, so we have to see the poultry sector as a triple power of nutrition, innovation and export.
He said we must use our full capabilities to make the poultry industry a strong pillar of India’s agriculture-based economy. This sector not only provides nutrition and employment to crores of people, but also strengthens India’s global identity.
