The core of this unprecedented growth is the deepening of the cooperative model and key government initiatives. The minister, who also holds the cooperation portfolio, confirmed a robust cooperative foundation is being built, projecting that by 2029, every local governing body (Panchayat) in the country will feature a cooperative society. This structural focus is designed to ensure the prosperity directly reaches the 80 million farmers connected to the dairy economy, with the profit from increased procurement flowing back to the producers.

A central element of the current strategy is the White Revolution 2.0, which aims to significantly boost the sector’s capacity and reach. Under this plan, the government intends to establish over 75,000 new dairy cooperatives and strengthen 46,000 existing ones. By 2028–29, daily milk procurement by dairy cooperatives is targeted to reach a monumental 1,007 lakh kg, reflecting an aggressive push for organized collection and processing that directly benefits farmers.

Furthermore, the government is introducing comprehensive systemic reforms, including the creation of three new multi-state cooperative societies dedicated to the dairy sector. These specialized societies will focus on critical areas like animal feed, disease control, artificial insemination, and even cow dung management and circular use of cattle remains. This integrated approach, supported by schemes like the National Gokul Mission, aims to modernize the supply chain and improve the overall genetic and health profile of the national herd.
