Indian Minister Praises Gujarat's Dairy Co-op Success

Uttarakhand Delegation Studies Model for Boosting Farmer Income & Tech Adoption.

India’s Cooperation Minister, Dr. Dhan Singh Rawat, embarked on a significant visit to Gujarat’s thriving dairy cooperatives, specifically the District Cooperative Panchamrut Milk Producers’ Union Ltd in Godhra and the Ashapura Chhariya Milk Union Committee. This tour underscored the critical role of dairy cooperatives as economic pillars for rural farmers. Dr. Rawat observed the intricate processes of milk collection, state-of-the-art processing, and efficient distribution, gathering insights into their successful operational mechanisms and innovative practices within the broader agribusiness landscape.

The Panchamrut Milk Producers’ Union, established in 1973, was particularly highlighted as a model of success. This cooperative plays a vital role in sustaining the economic well-being of thousands of rural dairy farmers. Its adoption of advanced technologies, including sophisticated quality testing laboratories and robust cold storage facilities, exemplifies how strategic investment in infrastructure can lead to enhanced efficiency and higher quality milk production—a key lesson for dairy economics globally.

During his visit, Dr. Rawat was also briefed by the Ashapura Chhariya Milk Union Committee on their dedicated efforts to promote self-reliance, particularly among rural women and livestock owners. This focus on women empowerment through dairy activities showcases a powerful social dimension of the cooperative model, providing stable income and fostering community development alongside agricultural productivity.

Minister Rawat lauded Gujarat’s cooperative dairy model as an exemplary blueprint for the entire country. He expressed the Uttarakhand government’s firm commitment to strengthening its own cooperative movement by adopting similar successful systems. The strategic intent is clear: to infuse technology and promote economic empowerment within Uttarakhand’s dairy cooperatives, aiming to replicate Gujarat’s achievements in farmer prosperity and dairy development.

This high-level visit and the subsequent endorsement of Gujarat’s cooperative model have significant implications for the international dairy community. It underscores the potential for cooperative structures to drive economic development, enhance milk quality, and integrate advanced technology in dairy farming. Such inter-state collaborations within India provide valuable insights into scalable solutions for sustainable dairy growth and improved farmer livelihoods globally.
