A. Project Partnership with Sustain Plus Energy Foundation
NDDB partnered with Sustain Plus Energy Foundation to replicate NDDB’s Zakariyapura Model in other parts of the country to further establish the efficacy and robustness of the model. The model was established in nine locations across seven states with partial grant support from NDDB and Sustain Plus.
Continuing the partnership, the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) has partnered with Sustain Plus Energy Foundation to implement scalable Decentralized Renewable Energy (DRE) solutions and manure management initiatives. With a proposed outlay of ₹92.25 crore over four years, the project aims to generate additional farmer income, promote clean cooking fuel, and utilize cattle dung for sustainable agriculture. Key components include installing standalone and community biogas plants, developing manure value chains by setting up slurry processing centers, and implementing manure management models in gaushalas. The project also seeks to enhance dairy operations through mobile milk collection and testing units, farm-level milk processing, and the solarization of dairy cooperative societies etc.
B. Collaboration with Tata Power Renewable Microgrid Limited (TPRMG) for solarisation of dairy value chain
NDDB and TPRMG are collaborating on various initiatives to develop and deploy indigenous, green and energy-efficient technologies across the dairy value chain and to contribute to carbon neutral initiatives such as solarization of DCSs/BMCs/Milk Chilling Centres/Dairy Plant, supplementing solar microgrid with dung-based biogas power generators for microgrids of TPRMG, energy efficient chullas (Stoves) for Biogas, application of solar dryer/solar cold storage in dairy and fruits & vegetable, the development of carbon-neutral villages, training & capacity building on Solar, etc.
The successful pilot will enable the development of commercially viable models and facilitate the propagation of this initiative across the dairy value chain in the country. This will significantly support our efforts toward achieving net-zero dairying.
