A leading dairy research institute will spotlight the vital contribution of women to milk production, rural livelihoods and sector growth.
India’s dairy sector is set to celebrate the critical role of women farmers through a special event organized by the National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) in Karnal. The initiative aims to recognize the often-underappreciated contributions women make to dairy farming, livestock management and rural economic development across the country.
Women are deeply involved in daily dairy operations, including animal care, feeding, milking and household-level farm management. Their participation has been instrumental in supporting India’s rise as the world’s largest milk producer and in strengthening the livelihoods of millions of rural families.
The event will bring together farmers, researchers, policymakers and industry stakeholders to discuss the achievements of women in dairy production and explore ways to enhance their participation in the sector. Organizers believe greater recognition and support can help unlock further productivity gains and improve rural incomes.
In addition to honoring women’s contributions, the program will focus on capacity building, knowledge sharing and technological adoption. Experts are expected to highlight the importance of training, access to resources and institutional support in helping women dairy farmers expand their role in the value chain.
The initiative reflects a broader recognition that sustainable growth in India’s dairy industry depends on empowering women producers. By strengthening their access to opportunities, education and decision-making processes, the sector can further improve productivity, nutritional security and inclusive rural development.
