Hidden truth behind milk price increase

Milma convinced the govt the need for a price increase to support milk producers. the govt without looking in to merits agreed to raise the price on condition that 1.80Rs must be paid to the miilk producer, reality is the milk producers produce 40% of milma's produce, the balance they make it out on milk powder dissolved milk on which milma is pocketing the 1.80 rs earmarked for the producer. result huge profit for milma,under the table dividends for directors and govermantal machinery

Hi To get elected one has to spend crores of rupees depending upon the constituency We have got to accept this as a way of life But then ultimately the money has to be recovered for governing the country, as elected reps. Position ditto throughout the world where democracy is there The frequent increase is necessary for maintaining a contingent of staff including security guards Spend own money for "official" purpose ?

Every State has got different set of Guidelines in regard to procuration. distribution of milk We cannot compare the situation prevailing in USA and going to USA, at taxpayers money, on such study tours is not new to Indian Babus. But if one has to follow the matter, it should be followed up as to the study findings and subsequent implementation, if any. But as you are aware, human memory is too short. Do you agree ?

Assuming what is reported by Urmilesh Kumar to be correct regarding the proportion in which milk is produced at 40% by the milma producers and remaining 60% in the form of milk powder, the hike at the rate of Rs.1.80 is on the high side. So as he has rightly pointed out the original intention to compensate the milma producers is not served fully. However, it is benefiting milk powder to the extent of their share in the whole milma output for any given day.
