KOTA: A township, exclusively for dairy farmers, has been planned by the Government of Rajasthan in Kota, Rajasthan. This township will have 738 houses, fodder stores and a single cattle shade with a capacity for at least 28 cattle.
It’s a unique township built by the Kota Urban Infrastructure Trust (UIT) under the Rs 300 crore-worth Devnarayan Integrated Housing Scheme (DIHS). It is located outside the busy urban center of the city, over a 105.09-hectare land in Dharmpura and Bandha village.
The township will be equipped with all the required amenities like schools, health centre, veterinary hospital, community hall, police check post, water tanks, sewer line, parks, drains, STP, milk mandi and theatre. A commercial activity zone for dairy units, straw (Bhusa) and ‘Khal–Churi’ (fodder) will also be there. Apart from these, a biogas plant for the disposal of cow dung has also been built. This will allow for the cattle rearers to earn additional income from selling the cow dung to the plant.
Commenting on this initiative, Shanti Dhariwal, Minister of Urban Development & Housing, Government of Rajasthan said that this will improve the quality of life of cattle rearers and also provide relief to the city residents from the stray cattle menace.
The township will open by April 30 and will be occupied by the first week of May this year.
