Dairy farming plays a crucial role in rural economy and rural livelihood as nearly 80% of India’s milk production is contributed by small and marginal farmers. One of the major issues that the dairy farmers are facing is shortage of skilled labour for milking or in many cases the dependency on family labour which is usually an unaccounted expense. As most of these farmers are also involved with other agriculture activities or other livelihood related activities it is important that the milking activity doesn’t consume too much of their time and effort and also it is important that milk is sent to collection centers in time. Even though some of the farmers have started using motorized milking machines due  to unscheduled erratic powercuts in rural areas farmers are unable to use these machines when they need it.
Hence SELCO Foundation in collaboration with Ksheera Enterprises Sullia has developed Solar powered Milking machines which now became effective solution to overcome with erratic power cut problems especially in rural area and provide the milk in time to diaries. 
In this video, watch the entire procedure and best practices involved in installing Solar Powered Milking Machine.
