Krishna Milk Union Chairman Chalasani Anjaneyulu on Thursday announced that a first instalment bonus of ₹13 crore will be distributed to milk suppliers for the financial year 2025–26.

The decision was made during the Union’s governing body meeting held earlier on Thursday (July 31, 2025). The bonus covers the period from April to July 2025 and will be disbursed in August.

Addressing a press conference, Mr. Anjaneyulu said that Krishna Milk Union remains the only cooperative in the region that consistently pays the highest procurement prices to farmers while also providing regular bonuses.

Inspired by the visionary P4 programme of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, the Union has rededicated itself to farmer welfare. One key initiative includes offering sex-sorted semen doses—crucial for increasing milk productivity—at a highly subsidised rate.

While the market price is ₹150 per dose, dairy farmers in the undivided Krishna district will receive it for just ₹50, with the Union covering the remaining ₹100. “This subsidy will help enhance livestock productivity and ensure a stable rural livelihood, aligning perfectly with the goals of P4 initiative,” he said.

The Chairman also announced that two new veterinary hostels will be established soon—one in Pedakallepalli (Avanigadda mandal) and another in Munagacherla (Nandigama mandal).
