Shri Ravi S. Naik

Hon'ble Minister for Home, Cooperation, Women & Child Development and Animal Husbandry, Goa

 

His Excellency Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, former President of India; Hon’ble Chief Minister; Hon’ble Speaker; Chairman, NDDB; President, IDA, Delhi; Chairman, IDA (WZ) and Organising Committee and all scientists; delegates; students; milk producers; press and media.

I feel that it is a great day in history of Goa that such a large number of luminaries of dairy industry from all over the country and abroad have come to participate in XXXVII Dairy Industry Conference.

I heartily welcome HE and all of you to Goa and I am also grateful to IDA (West Zone) for selecting Goa as a venue for this important event. It is all the more relevant because we expect the experts assembled here to share their knowledge and experience with us in various schemes of dairy industry so that we may reach at a level of self-sufficiency in milk and milk products. I am hopeful that in near future Goa will become an exporter of quality milk and milk products. I am confident that milk producers, processors and marketers of Goa shall ensure that they will continue to serve only quality products to the consumers.

I hope that this conference will help in the growth of dairy industry in the state in near future and will generate employment for the youth. I once again thank to IDA (WZ) and its office bearers for organizing this conference in Goa.

I thank His Excellency Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam for blessing this event and also thank dignitaries and all of you for being here at this historical event and I wish you all a very comfortable and pleasant stay in Goa.

Thank you, Jai Hind!
