India's dairy revolution

W. G. CHANDLER, Nalini Kumar

Abstract

Since March 1974 The World Bank has funded five dairy development projects in India. These projects have supported Operation Flood, an Indian initiative to support a farmer-controlled cooperative dairy program. An OED impact study, The Impact of Dairy Development in India : The Bank's contribution, dated June 1977, found that Operation Flood (OF) and associated policy changes resulted in a spectacular increase in the growth rate of Indian dairy production (from 0.7 percent annually to 4.27 percent). In fact, Operation Flood has had an impact comparable to the Green Revolution in India
