During the session,\u00a0Smt.

She added that the perseverance of women dairy farmers has been remarkable who have been able to organize themselves via Farmer Producer Organisations(FPOs), Community Linked Farmers (CLFs) and Self Help Groups (SHGs) where Dairy Cooperative Societies (DCS) were not present. Smt. Upadhyaya\u00a0 said that while\u00a0contribution of women to the dairy sector is enormous, they should also focus on availing benefits of central government schemes in the sector. She highlighted that schemes for goat and sheep rearing can help women farmers in getting good returns at low cost. Citing example of the covid pandemic, she stated that there is a need to focus on preventing zoonotic dieseases to prevent animal human disease tranmission and loss of productivity.<\/p>\n
