01 July 2022, Ahmedabad: The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) has decided to donate Rs 1.5 crore towards about 500 MT of cattle feed to meet the immediate requirement of animals in flood affected Assam through West Assam Milk Union (WAMUL). NDDB-managed WAMUL is being advised to use their supply network and coordinate with local authorities for seamless distribution of cattle feed.

Shri Meenesh Shah, Chairman, NDDB expressed his solidarity with all those who have suffered loss of life, property and livelihoods. He appreciated the swiftness with which the Govt of Assam under the leadership of Hon’ble CM Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma, responded to the disaster by arranging rescue of stranded people and distributed much-needed relief materials to the affected regions. He specially lauded the launch of a portal for enabling people to register livestock losses due to floods.

Chairman, NDDB said, “The impact of floods in Assam on both humans and livestock is beyond comprehension and a cause of great distress to so many of us even at this distance.” This contribution is symbolic of NDDB’s deep commitment towards the unfortunate victims of the catastrophe.
