Amit Shah in Bhopal for Dairy Farmers’ Gopalak Conference

Union Home Minister Amit Shah reaches Bhopal on Friday night for a two-day visit. The centrepiece is a state-level Gopalak Conference on Saturday at the BHEL Dussehra Ground.
More than 35,000 cattle rearers and dairy cooperative members are expected to attend. Participants will come from Bhopal, Sehore, Betul, Rajgarh, Harda, Guna and other districts.
Shah will distribute bonuses to livestock rearers linked to the Bhopal and Indore milk unions. He will also provide financial assistance to gaushalas. Gopalak Didis will be honoured at the event. Approval letters under the Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar Kamdhenu Scheme will be handed out.
Proposals include a Rs 255-crore dairy plant in Ujjain. A Rs 16.80-crore facility for curd, buttermilk, lassi and shrikhand is planned in Bhopal.
Ahead of the visit, the state Congress questioned a decline in dairy cooperative membership. Shah will also lay foundation stones for an IISER campus and the Bhopal Western Bypass.
