NEW DELHI, June 1: An agreement was signed today between Patanjali Gramodyog (Trust) and CSC SPV according to which Patanjali’s balanced animal feed products, feed supplements and Ayurvedic animal medicines will be made available to every farmer of the country at the lowest rates through more than 5.5 lakh CSC centers present in every corner of the country.
Sanjay Rakesh (Managing Director, CSC SPV) and Dr Yashdev Shastri, general secretary of Patanjali Gramodyog (Trust) – Haridwar were present during the program.
Animal husbandry has been the backbone of Indian agriculture. In the absence of balanced animal feed, there is a decrease in animal health and milk production, the brunt of which has to be borne by the animal herders and farmers. Patanjali Dugdhamrit Cattle Feed has been prepared keeping these needs in mind.
Elaborating on the CSC partnership, Sanjay Rakesh said, “CSC has always endeavored to improve the lives of citizens in rural areas through various initiatives. Already we are providing various services to the farmers through Tele-consultation, Crop Insurance, E-Veterinary, Kisan Credit Card and PM Kisan Yojana due to the vast network of CSCs present in remote areas of the country. After tie-up with Patanjali Gramodyog (Trust), our VLEs will be able to provide balanced animal feed products to the cattle rearers and farmers across the country.”
On the occasion, Dr Yashdev Shastri said, “Patanjali’s urea-free, pure Satvik products are helpful in increasing the production capacity of animals. These products are manufactured as per Indian Standards. With the help of these products, the income of the cattle rearers of the country will increase and along with the economic progress of the villagers of the country, our resolve to make the country an economic superpower will come true.
After this agreement between CSC and Patanjali Gramodyog, the way for the economic prosperity of the farmers will be paved. While on one hand employment will be ensured for the youth of the country, on the other hand supply of urea-free diet to the animals and pure milk to the general public will also be ensured.
