It is a proud moment for NDDB today as Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, in a significant step towards a 'Developed and Atmanirbhar Bharat,' dedicated two important technological initiatives developed by NDDB and Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying to the Nation during the farmers' meet in Washim, Maharashtra. The indigenously developed semen sex-sorting technology by NDDB, in collaboration with NDDB Dairy Services (NDS), Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, will ensure the birth of 85-90% female calves. This indigenous technology will be available to farmers at around ₹250 for sexed semen, allowing more farmers to benefit from it, which will lead to an overall increase in milk production. The genomic chips 'Gauchip' and 'Mahishchip,' developed by NDDB in collaboration with NBAGR, NIAB, and BAIF, will prove to be a crucial tool for the genomic selection programme of the country. Genomic selection will help farmers identify high-quality animals at a young age.

Hon'ble Union Minister Shri Rajiv Ranjan Singh 'Lalan Singh ji' during his address at the farmers' conference held in Washim, Maharashtra, highlighted the progress made in the dairy sector and expressed his gratitude to Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji for the inauguration of two new initiatives—indigenous semen sex-sorting technology and genomic chips. He mentioned that the semen sex-sorting technology developed by NDDB is highly affordable for farmers, leading to widespread adoption and a significant increase in milk production. The Minister also spoke about the genomic chip, explaining that NDDB, in collaboration with Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying and other institutions, has developed the 'Gauchip' for cows and the 'Mahishchip' for buffaloes, which are aligned with Indian breeds. These will bring about rapid genetic improvement, and this service will now be made available through NDDB CALF Limited and Kerala Livestock Development Board. He emphasised that these technologies and services are a major step towards achieving Prime Minister's vision of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' and also praised the work of NDDB in this direction.

Celebrating the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi, who believed in the power of peace, self-reliance, and sustainable development. This #GandhiJayanti let us strive towards a future built on these values, nurturing harmony and progress for generations to come. Happy Gandhi Jayanti!
