Bridging Continents: PDFA Haryana Welcomes German Dairy Experts


The Progressive Dairy Farmer Association (Regd) Haryana, officially registered , is a Old established organization located at Village Gadli, PO Mathana, Pin-136131, District Kurukshetra, Haryana, India. Our vision is to revolutionize dairy farming by equipping farmers with education, innovation, and community support. Since our inception, we have been dedicated to addressing the diverse needs of dairy farmers, ensuring they have access to advanced technologies, financial resources, and market opportunities to thrive in a competitive industry. Our registration marks the beginning of a transformative journey to uplift the dairy sector in Haryana.

A landmark moment in our early journey occurred just days ago in Sep- 2023, when a delegation from Germany visited our association. This group of 10-12 dairy experts and agricultural professionals came to Kurukshetra to study Haryana’s dairy farming model, which has earned the state the title "Milk Pail of India." The visit was a testament to our growing global recognition, as the delegation was impressed by our use of modern techniques like automated milking systems and IoT-based cattle health monitoring. They also engaged with our farmers, discussing sustainable practices and exploring avenues for future collaboration, such as sharing European technologies and breeding techniques to enhance our livestock quality.

Our core mission is to empower dairy farmers through a range of services. We conduct monthly seminars to disseminate the latest farming techniques, publish technical guides on dairy management, and facilitate access to high-quality resources like cattle semen from global suppliers. Our partnerships with UCO Bank provide low-interest loans, while our collaboration with MILKFED Punjab ensures better milk procurement prices. Additionally, our mobile help van service delivers veterinary care and technical expertise directly to farms, addressing health and operational challenges effectively. The German visitors praised these initiatives, noting their potential to serve as a model for other regions.

Haryana’s dairy industry holds immense potential, and PDFA Haryana is committed to unlocking it through collaborative efforts. Our annual International Dairy Show and Exhibition, set to launch in 2026, will further strengthen our global outreach, building on the foundation laid by visits like the recent German delegation. Held in Kurukshetra, a region steeped in agricultural heritage, this event will bring together farmers, scientists, and industry experts to share knowledge and showcase innovations. Our location enhances accessibility, making us a central hub for dairy development in the state.

As a newly registered entity, we are focused on community building and education, creating a network where farmers can learn, grow, and succeed together. The German delegation’s visit has inspired us to explore international partnerships, potentially bringing advanced technologies and practices to Haryana. We invite farmers to join us, explore our gallery for images from the visit, and read testimonials from members who have benefited from our programs.
