Friends , Dairy in India was once a largely subsistence-oriented occupation intended to produce milk for home consumption. In 1919, a dairy animal census was conducted for the first time by British colonial officials. A report authored in 1937 indicated a sub-optimal rate of milk consumption in the country. It estimated a per capita intake of 200 gm per day (inclusive of all dairy products), which was the lowest among all large dairy countries. Low productivity of dairy animals utand widespread poverty were the challenges in increasing dairy production and consumption. Consumption varied by geographic and economic conditions, but was on the whole quite low.
In the 1920s, modern milk processing and marketing technologies were introduced in India. The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) was founded in 1965. It launched Operation Flood in 1969–70, a programme aimed at modernising and developing the dairy sector using co-operatives. During this period, dairy co-operatives emerged as a dominant force, as a result of the exploitative nature of private milk plants and vendors.
Co-operatives were based on the "Anand model" – a three-tier organisational structure comprising (i) village-level co-operative societies (the primary producers), (ii) district-level co-operative producers' unions which collected the milk and operated processing plants, and (iii) state-level federations for marketing. This model was evolved in Anand, Gujarat, having begun there in 1946, and came to be adopted all over the country.
Operation Flood proceeded in three phases.
Phase I (1970–1981) focussed on developing dairy production in areas surrounding New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai.
Phase II (beginning 1986), a larger phase of the project, expanded investment to 147 urban centres across the country.
Phase III, which continued to the mid-1990s, expanded investment still further, to a number of smaller towns.
Friends in addition to investments by the government of India, several phases of Operation Flood were funded in part by the World Bank and European Economic Community.
We feel proud that India has been the world's largest milk producer since 1997, when it surpassed the United States.
We the Rajasthan University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (RAJUVAS) take responsibility to strengthen this sector for the shake of economic sustainability and social security for our vibrant eastern and central Rajasthan.
For this we are in process to established a State of the Art facility as
"College of Dairy and Food Technology Bassi Jaipur"
which will become a national reputed Institute in future and strengthen our local farmers for value addition of their local production.
and we'll serve trained Human resources to the country and abroad .
My kind invitation to you please visit your Institute when you are crossing Bassi Jaipur by road that is on Jaipur Agra National Highway, your valuable feedback always acknowledged.
