National Programme for Dairy Development

The National Programme for Dairy Development has played a pivotal role in transforming India's dairy sector. This initiative led to the creation of 36,611 new Dairy Cooperative Societies and strengthened 34,557 existing ones. As a result, the programme boosted the milk-chilling capacity by 168 lakh litres per day, supporting the growth and efficiency of the dairy industry in India.

The programme provides central grants for village-level procurement, chilling, and milk-quality systems. It supports state efforts involving milk procurement, processing facilities, and supply-chain infrastructure. Through these efforts, the programme has organised new dairy cooperative societies and strengthened existing ones, added chilling capacity, and supplied devices for testing milk quality.
