<h1>Himachal Pradesh Launches Pilot for Digitized Milk Procurement to Boost Quality and Farmer Benefits with Direct Payments.</h1> Digitization of milk procurement will commence in 8-10 societies in Himachal Pradesh on a pilot basis, as announced by the Chief Minister. The initiative aims to enhance milk quality for consumers and benefit farmers through advanced technology. Key measures include individual milk testing, real-time data management, GPS-enabled route tracking, and separate marketing for Himachali dairy products. Payments for milk procurement will be directly transferred to farmers' bank accounts, with details communicated via SMS. This digitization effort seeks to streamline operations and maintain transparency in the milk procurement process.
