Dehradun, 11 Sep: The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has approved 3 projects worth Rs 9,281.56 lakh under RIDF to the Government of Uttarakhand to strengthen rural infrastructure development.
The education department has been sanctioned Rs 4,460.36 lakh for the construction of a Rajiv Gandhi Navodaya Vidyalaya in Bageshwar district and Government Inter College (GIC) Silpata in Chamoli district. These projects will provide quality education, modern educational facilities and safe environment to the students of hilly areas, thereby expanding the scope of educational opportunities in these areas.
In the dairy sector, a modern 10 MT capacity milk powder plant, 5,000 litre capacity ice-cream plant and 2 MT capacity bakery unit will be set up at Sitarganj (Udham Singh Nagar) at a cost of Rs 4,821.20 lakh. This project will increase the dairy processing capacity of the state and milk powder will be produced in the state itself, which will reduce the cost of getting milk powder made in neighbouring states and loading/unloading, as well as local producers will have easy access to big markets. Under this project, the infrastructure will be built by the Dairy Development Board, and the plant will be operated by the private partner on the ‘Build-Operate-Transfer’ (BOT) model.
Through these projects, NABARD has proved its commitment towards sustainable rural development and inclusive progress in Uttarakhand.
