Existing Dahi culture prevailing in the Yamuna Nagar district of Haryana

A study was conducted in three block headquarters and three villages, one from each block in Yamunanagar district of Haryana. The majority of the respondents (94.4%) were using old dahi as a main source of dahi culture. Surprisingly, none of the respondent was found to be following the NDRI dahi culture and Chandigarh dahi culture. So, there is a need to promote adoption. for that the educational agencies can playa vital role by conducting farmers training regarding NDRI Dahi culture. National Collection of Dahi Culture at NDRI is in a position to conduct method/result demonstration at farmers home with the help of extension workers and can also provide culture at cheaper Tate at village level.
