Dairy Cooperatives

DAIRY DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA : CHALLENGES, POLICIES & FUTURE PROSPECTS

India’s dairy sector, anchored by initiatives like Operation Flood, Rashtriya Gokul Mission, NAIP, and White Revolution 2.0, has transformed the country into the world’s largest milk producer. It supports over 80 million farmers, empowers women through cooperatives, ensures nutritional security, and drives rural livelihoods. Ongoing reforms in infrastructure, breeding, sustainability, and GST rationalization aim to enhance productivity, promote inclusive growth, and strengthen India’s global competitiveness in dairy.
