Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of `Banas Dairy Sankul` at UP State Industrial Development Authority Food Park, Karkhiyaon, Varanasi.

Spread across 30 acres of land, the dairy will be built at a cost of about Rs 475 crores and will have a facility for processing 5 lakh litres of milk per day.

"This will strengthen the rural economy and help farmers of the region by creating new opportunities for them,” said PMO.
