The State Government has been asked by the Tamil Nadu Milk Producers Welfare Association to take measures to include milk in the daily menu in the noon meal centres, and anganwadi to ensure that the full quantity of excess milk produced by the farmers is procured.
In order to draw the government's attention, the association will post letters with the demand to the Chief Minister on Friday.
After a State executive committee meeting on Thursday, President of the association, K.A. Sengottuvel, said all the five lakh members of the milk cooperative societies will post the letter from Friday.
The society members have been asked to rope in farmers who supply milk to private dairies too in the agitation. All the societies have been asked to display flex boards containing the demand prominently in front of their offices.
Sengottuvel said that there was a spurt in milk production in the State in the recent months. The increase in procurement price by Rs. 5 per litre has drawn more farmers towards milk production.
