The workshop will highlight policies from the Ministry of Cooperation and the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying to promote sustainable dairy farming while balancing economic growth with environmental responsibility, an official statement said.

Experts from NDDB, industry, and other global organisations will discuss expanding circular dairy practices, financing options, carbon credit opportunities, waste-to-energy solutions, and technology's role in improving dairy farming efficiency.

Union Minister for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying Rajiv Ranjan Singh, Ministers of State SP Singh Baghel and George Kurian, Dairy and Animal Husbandry Department Secretary Alka Upadhyaya, and senior officials will attend the event.
