Abstract

The dairy industry in India has become very well organised as a result of
Operation Flood Programmes and massive World Bank aid. A number of Dairy
Development Corporations and Producers. Cooperative Societies have come
into being as corporate bodies apart from private dairies already in operation.
These Dairy Development Corporations essentially follow the Anand Model of
cooperative structure. This Structure builds on a vertically integrated single
industry cooperative that links rural producers with urban consumers by
introducing intensive milk production systems and improved technology for
processing and marketing. It is a three tiered structure. The three tiers are (i)
the village milk cooperative society: (ii) a district milk producers union and (iii)
cooperative milk marketing federation.
