One of our underlying intentions in starting a dairy farm in such a remote location was to showcase to the farming community the viability of a dairy farm and to revive their deteriorating interest towards farming as a dependable livelihood. The idea was to show the farmers that by adopting modern techniques without foregoing the native methods, dairy farming can be a successful venture, providing local employment in the process.
Our efforts have been recognized and supported by state government owned organizations - GKVK, UAS, District Commissioner offices, Animal Husbandry Dept. and other private institutions and organizations. Some of the awards we have received are Arasikere Sahithya Sammelana Taluk Progressive Dairy Farmer Award 2011, Hassan District Kannada Rajyothsava Progressive Dairy Farmer Award 2012, State Level Corp Award for Progressive Dairy Farmer Award 2012. Apart from that, we have been appointed as Director to the GKVK, Bangalore as a recognised Agro Industrialist for two years. With this experience, Maruthi Dairy has also started consultancy services in setting up Model Integrated Dairy Farms in South India (10 - 500 cows).
