Patna: April 16, 2008
 At a press conference at Bihar Information Bhawan in Patna on Wednesday, officials of Bihar State Cooperative Milk Producers Federation (COMFED) said that by 2012, the total collection of milk per day in Bihar would rise from the current 6 lakh kilogram to 12 lakh kg per day due to various programs put in place by the Federation.
With new dairy plants coming up in Dehri, Purnia, and Mohania and a number of training programs already in place, this goal is quite attainable and even surpassed, said the COMFED managing director Atish Chandra.
Chandra also informed that the Federation would celebrate its 25th anniversary at Sri Krishna Memorial Hall in Patna on April 18-19 that would be inaugurated by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

A new product by the Sudha Dairy would also be launched by Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi during the two-day celebration, Singh said.
