Dairy farming has long been a key part of rural life in India, providing a stable income for millions of families. Sidhant Gupta from Kwality Ltd. explains how the cooperative movement, led by organizations like Amul, changed the industry by helping small farmers come together, share resources, and strengthen their ability to negotiate in the market. This approach has made dairy farming a vital source of income in rural areas, improving the financial stability of families who depend on milk production.
The rise of organized dairy farming has been a big help for farmers, especially women, giving them a steady income. This change has had widespread benefits, boosting local economies, improving access to education, and raising living standards in rural communities.
