In his letter, the Congress MP alleged the inclusion of family members and associates of state ministers and MLAs as beneficiaries, while experienced dairy farmers, particularly from districts like Bongaigaon, have been reportedly excluded despite meeting eligibility criteria.
Purabi Dairy has received ISO certifications for its milk and cattle feed plants and reported a 25% growth in FY25, with a turnover exceeding Rs 320 crore. The cooperative also announced plans to double its milk processing capacity in Guwahati.
