Mumbai: Hatsun Agro Product Ltd. (HAPL) announced on 28 September 2026, a partnership with the Government of Odisha and State Bank of India (SBI) to launch ‘Go-Dhan’, an initiative to empower dairy farmers across Odisha.
Initiative Goals
The ‘Go-Dhan’ initiative seeks to establish more than 6,000 dairy farms over the next three years. This phased approach is designed to improve farmer incomes and create a sustainable dairy ecosystem in Odisha.
Support for Farmers
