Amit Shah Lays Foundation for World's Largest Curd Plant in West Bengal
Union Home Minister Amit Shah laid the foundation stone for the Amul Bengal Dairy Project in Howrah, West Bengal, a Rs 700-crore facility set to become the world's largest curd production plant. The project will process up to 30 lakh litres of milk daily, benefiting over 1.2 lakh dairy farmers and strengthening the state's dairy infrastructure. Shah highlighted the cooperative model's role in rural development and linked the initiative to the vision of 'Sonar Bangla' and 'White Revolution 2.0'. The plant aims to produce around 1,000 tonnes of curd and other dairy products daily, supporting economic growth and employment in the region.
