The Dairy Project remains a significant focus area for IsFon within its rural initiatives, targeting small, marginalized, and landless labourers in Panvel and Ambernath talukas of Raigad and Thane districts, respectively. The training provided helps the rural beneficiaries to acquire new skills in dairy farming and production techniques.

The project aims to boost milk production and enhance productivity on dairy farms. Farmers earn additional income at an average of ₹8,000 to ₹12,000 per month through the sale of milk and cow dung. Thus, the project helps to boost the local economy by providing a stable source of income to rural families.

Assistance provided under the project includes:

• Provision of cross-breed cows to eligible women in farmer households
• Support for developing fodder plots to ensure adequate nutrition for the cattle
• Doorstep services including, vaccination and artificial insemination, followed by pregnancy diagnosis for both cows and buffaloes
• Assistance in establishing market linkages for selling milk, ensuring a steady income stream for the farmers.
