It is the primary source of nutrition for young mammals before they are able to digest other type of food. It is a complete food due to its high nutritional value is consumed by people of all ages and especially children, Early- lactation milk contains colostrum’s, which carries the mother’s anti bodies to its young and can reduce the risk of many diseases like, Milk contains may other nutrients and the carbohydrates lactose. In India milk is highly attaches with Indian culture. In every occasion, marriage or any programme milk is needed for sweets and desserts. Milk is also provided to children in place of the mother milk. Milk is a hand to mouth product and a significant proportion of its consumed directly in the households. Milk is processed in to variety of dairy products such as cream, butter, cheese, yogurts, ice-cream, curds ete. Modern 6|Pageindustrial processes use milk to produce care in whey protein lactose, condensed milk, powdered milk and many other food additives and industrial products. India is the largest produce and consumers of cattle and buffalo milk in the world. Consumers in general, quantify the quality of a product by looking, touching, tasting and smelling it. Milk is a being a liquid and whitish in color has high chance of getting adulterated. There are high chances of getting milk germ infected moreover; there are differences in taste and smell in the milk available in the milk market. All these factors combined make milk a product for which quality and purity of milk consumed in mostly dependent on the trust on the supplier. Other than factors availability, Brand value image of milk is the one of the most important factors, As milk is a more a commodity than a product, there are not many differentiating factors between brands and switching cost is really low for consumers, and therefore brand loyalty is very less. So the logistic set up supporting the milk marketing operation has to be in place and delay in distribution of milk lead to the consumers shift to an alternate brand guarantees regular supply. RY INDUSTRY {A dairy is a business enterprise established for the harvesting or processing (or both) of animal milk — mostly from cows or goals, but also from buffaloes, sheep. horses or camels ~ for human consumption. A dairy is typically located on a dedicated dairy farm or in a section of a multi- purpose farm (mixed farm) that is concerned with the harvesting of milk. 7Milk producing animals have been domesticated for thousands of years. Initially, they were part of the subsistence farming that nomads engaged in. As the community moved about the country, their animals accompanied them. Protecting and feeding the animals were a big part of the symbiotic relationship between the animals and the herders. As an attributive, the word dairy refers to milk-based products, derivatives and processes. and the animals and workers involved in their production: for example, dairy cattle, dairy goat. A dairy farm produces milk and a dairy factory processes it into a variety of dairy products. These establishments constitute the global dairy industry, a component of the food industry. DAIRY INDUSTRY IN INDIA Dairy enterprise is an important occupation of farmers. The dairy sector in India has shown remarkable development in the past decade and India has now become one of the largest producer of milk and value added milk products in the world. In India, dairying is recognized as an instrument for social and economic development. ‘The nation’s milk supply comes from millions of small producers, dispersed throughout the rural areas. These farmers maintain an average herd of one or two milk animals, comprising cows and/or buffaloes. The animals’ nutritional requirements are largely met by agricultural waste and by products. Ample labor and a small land base encourage farmers to practice dairying as an occupation subsidiary to agriculture. While income from crop production is seasonal, dairying provides a stable, year- round income, which is an important economic incentive for the small farmer to take to dairying. 8) PageMost of the significant developments in dairying in India have taken root in this century. The history of the dairy development can be broadly classified into two distinct phases: pre- and post- Operation Flood. DAIRYING PRIOR TO OPERATION FLOOD ‘The earliest attempts at dairy development can be traced back to British rule, when the Defense Department established military dairy farms to ensure the supply of milk and butter to the colonial army. The first of these farms was set up in Allahabad in 1913: subsequent faci were established at Bangalore and Kamal. These farms were well maintained and, even in the early stages, improved milk animals were raised. As animals were reared under farm conditions, some herd improvement was made using artificial insemination. This approach did not have any impact on the supply of milk to urban consumers, which was of major concern to civilian authorities but less important to the military. With the growth of the population in urban areas, consumers had to depend on milk vendors who kept cattle in these areas and sold their milk, often door- to- door. As a result, several cattle sheds came into existence in different cities, This was not an environmentally sound approach. As the main objective of the milk vendors was to maximize profit, they started inereasing the lactation period by using the focus system. In the process, these high- yielding cattle developed sterility problems, which considerably reduced the number of carvings. Once the cattle became unproductive, they were sold to slaughterhouses. This practice systematically drained the country of its genetically superior breedsDuring the 1960s, various state governments tried out different strategies to develop dairying, including establishing dairies run by their own departments, setting up cattle colonies in urban areas and organizing milk schemes. Almost invariably, dairy processing plants were built in cities rather than in the milk sheds where milk was produced. This urban orientation to milk production led to the establishment of cattle colonies in Bombay. Calcutta and Madras. These government projects had extreme difficulties in organizing rural milk procurement and running milk schemes economically, yet none concentrated on creating an organized system for procurement of milk, which was left to contractors and middlemen. Milk's perishable nature and relative scarcity gave the milk vendors leverage, which they used to considerable advantage. This left government-run dairy plants to use large quantities of relatively cheap, commercially imported milk powder. The daily per capita availability of milk dropped to a mere 107 g during this time. High fat buffalo milk was extended with imported milk powder to bring down the milk price, which resulted in a decline in domestic milk production. As the government dairies were meeting barely one- third of the urban demand, the queues of consumers became longer while the rural milk producer was left in the clutches of the trader and the money lender. [All these factors combined left Indian dairying in a most unsatisfactory low-level equilibrium. ‘The establishment and prevalence of cattle colonies emerged as a curse for dairying in the rural hinterland as it resulted in a major genetic drain on the rural mulch animal population, which would never be replaced, City dairy colonies also contributed to environmental degradation, while the rural producer saw little reason to increase production.AMUL AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE ANAND MODEL Milk procurement from the rural areas and its marketing in the urban areas was the major problem in Indian dairying at the time India gained independence. In one of the earliest urban milk supply schemes, Polson’s ~a private dairy at Annand — procured milk from milk producers through middlemen, processed it and then sent the milk to Bombay, some 425 km away (Kurten, 1981), Bombay was a good market for milk and Polson’ profited immensely. In the mid-1940s, when the milk producers in Kiara asked for a proportionate share of the trade margins, they were denied even a modest increase. The milk producers went on strike, refusing to supply milk to Polson’s, The milk producers registered the Kiara District Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union, row popularly known as AMUL, in 1946, The Kiara union procured milk from affiliated village- level milk societies. This was the genesis of organized milk marketing in India, a pioneering effort that opened a new vista for dairy- development in the country. [AMUL formed the basis for the Annand Model of dairying. The basic unit in this model is the milk producers’ cooperative society at the village level. These cooperatives are organizations of milk producers who wish to market their milk collectively. Membership is open to all who need the cooperative's services and who are willing to accept the responsibilities of being a member. Decisions are taken on the basis of one member exercising one vote. No privilege accrues 10 capital, and the economic retumms, whether profit or loss, are divided among the members in proportion to patronage. Each cooperative is expected to carry out the continuing education of its lected leaders and employees. All the milk cooperatives in a district form a union members, that, ideally, has its own processing facilities. ayeGujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd. (GCMMF) The GCMMF is the largest food products marketing organization of India. It is the apex organization of the dairy cooperatives of Gujarat. It is the exclusive marketing organization for products under the brand name of Amul . Over the last five and a half decades, dairy cooperatives in Gujarat have created an economie network that links more than 3.1 million Village milk products with millions of consumers in India, Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd. (GCMMF), is India’s largest food product marketing organization with annual tumover (2014-15) USS 3.4 billion. Its daily milk procurement is approx. 14.85 million lit per day from 18,536 village milk cooperative societies, 17 member unions covering 31 districts, and 3.37 million milk producer members. More than 70% of the members are small or marginal farmers and landless laborers including a sizeable population of tribal folk and people belonging to the scheduled castes. OPERATION FLOOD Operation Flood is a unique approach to dairy development. During the 1970s, dairy commodity surpluses were building up in Europe, and Dr. Varghese Kurian, the founding chairman of NDDB, saw in those surpluses both a threat and an opportunity. The threat was massive exports of low-cost dairy products fo India, which, had it occurred, would have told the death - knell for India's staggering dairy industry, The large quantities that India was already importing had eroded domestic markets to the point where dairying was not viable. The opportunity, on the other hand, was built into the Operation Flood strategy. Designed basically as a marketing project, Operation Flood recognized the potential of the European surpluses as an investment in the modemization of India's dairy industry. With the assistance of the World Food Programed, 121food aid - in the form of milk powder and butter oil - was obtained from the countries of the European Economic Community (EEC) to finance the programme. It was the first time in the history ‘of economic development that food aid was seen as an important investment resource. Use of food aid in this way is anti-inflationary, it provides a buffer stock to stabilize market Auctuations and it can be used to prime the pump of markets that will later be supplied by domestic production. The overriding objective of all aid is, or rather should be, the elimination of the need for aid. The use of food aid as an investment is the most effective way of achieving this objective. Operation Flood is a programme designed to develop dairying by replicating the Annand Model for dairy development, which has stood the test of time for almost half a century. The first phase of Operation Flood was launched in 1970 following an agreement with the World Food Programme, which undertook to provide as aid 126000 tons of skim milk powder and 42000 tons of butter oil to finance the programmed. ‘The programme involved organizing dairy cooperatives at the village level; ereating the physical and institutional infrastructure for milk procurement, processing, marketing and production enhancement services at the union level; and establishing dairies in India's major metropolitan centers. The main thrust was to set up dairy cooperatives in India's best milk sheds, linking them with the four main cities of Bombay, Calcutta, Delhi and Madras, in which a commanding share of the milk market was to be captured. In achieving that goal, the first phase of Operation Flood laid the foundation for India's modern dairy industry, an industry that would ultimately meet the country’s need for milk and milk products. 13|PaThe second phase of the programme was implemented between 1981 and 1985. Designed to build on the foundation laid in the first phase, it integrated the Indian Dairy Association-assisted dairy development projects being implemented in some Indian states into the overall programme. About US$150 million was provided by the World Bank, with the balance of project financing obtained in the form of commodity assistance from the EEC. The current, third phase of Operation Flood aims at ensuring that the cooperative institutions become self-sustaining. With an investment of US$360 million from the World Bank, commodity and cash assistance from the EEC and NDDB's own internal resources, the programme envisages substantial expansion of the dairy processing and marketing facilities; an extended milk procurement infrastructure; increased outreach of production enhancement activities; and professionalization of management in the dairy institutions. NATIONAL DAIRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD ‘The National Dairy Development Board is an institution of national importance set up by an ‘Act of Parliament of India. The main office is in Annand, Gujarat with regional offices throughout the country. NDDB's subsidiaries include IDMC Limited- Annand, Mother Dairy, Delhi, NDDB Dairy Services, Delhi and Indian Immunological Ltd, Hyderabad. Sri. T. Nanda Kumar is the new chairman of the National Dairy Development Board, Annand. It was founded by Dr. Varghese Kurian. The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) was created in 1965, fulfilling the desire of the then prime minister of India — the late Lal Bahadur 14|PageShastra to extend the success of the Kiara Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union (Amul) to other parts of India. ‘That success combined the wisdom and energy of farmers with professional management to successfully capture liquid milk and milk product markets while supporting farmer investment with inputs and services. The major success of this mission was achieved through the World Bank Financed Operation Flood, which lasted for 26 years (1970 to 1996) and was responsible for making India the world's largest producer of milk. This operation was started with the objective of increasing milk production, augmenting farmer income and providing fair prices for consumers. NDDB has now integrated 1,17,575 dairy co-operatives in what it calls the Annand Pattern, linking the village society to the state federations in a three-tier structure NDDB launched its Perspective Plan 2010 with four thrust areas: Quality Assurance, Productivity Enhancement, Institution Building and National Information Network. NDDB empowered millions of small and marginal farmers through village dairy cooperatives. [AMUL pattern societies across the country made farmers rich in tangible and intangible wealth 15| PagePATNA DAIRY PROJECT “patna Dairy Project (PDP)” was started at Ist October, 1981 through the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). NDDB handed over the arrangements of Patna Dairy Project (PDP) to Vaishal Patliputra Dugdh Utpadak Sahkari Sangh Ltd. (VPDUSS) with effect from Ist July, 1988, The Company is ISO-9001:2000 and HACCP (IS-15000) certified by Bureau of Indian Standards in March, 2002. A Corporation know as Bihar State Dairy Corporation was formed in the year 1972 for speedy and effective implementation of the Operation Flood programme in the state. The Dairy Corporation was to develop the Dairy Cooperatives both atthe village level and milk shed level cooperative would take over the entire infrastructure created in due course. 16|Page‘The Corporation positioned a multi-disciplinary Procurement & Inputs wing in 1975 after their recruitment and training. A Spread Head Team (SHT) was deputed from National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) from the same year for helping the Corporation in organizing and developing the Cooperatives. Though the progress in the initial years was encouraging, the programme. for obvious reasons could not achieve the goals for which it was established Subsequently, the State Government felt it worthwhile to request the DAIRY BOARD (NDDB) for taking over the infrastructure created on management basis. The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) took over the management of the infrastructure with effect from I* October, 1981 under the banner of Patna Dairy Project (PDP). 17 | PageABOUT THE ORGANIZATION ~- COMFED ‘The Bihar State Milk Co-Operative Federation Ltd. (COMFED) was established in 1983 as the implementing agency of operational Flood programme of dairy development on “Annand” pattern in Bihar. ‘The Bihar State Milk Co-operative Federation Ltd is a dairy cooperative established in 1983 as enterprise of the government of Bihar It markets its products under the label "Sudha HISTORY OF COMFED HISTORY OF COM’ 1.

Area of operation ‘There are six district level Milk Producers’ Co-operative Unions affiliated to the Milk Federation, These milk unions are covering twenty-six districts and in addition, five districts are .j by the Federation, Different milk unions, which are organizing the DCS network being covere: in these districts, are as follows: T= Vaishali Patliputra Milk Union, Patna Covers Patna, Vaishali, Nalanda, Saran and Sheikhpura district 2.> DR Milk Union, Barouni Covers Begusarai, Khagaria, Lakhisarai and part of Patna Districts. 3.> Tirhut Milk Union, Muzaffarpur Covers Muzaffarpur, Sitamarhi, Sheohar, East Champaran, West-Champaran, > Mithila Milk Union, Samastipur Siwan and Gopalganj 5.> Shahabad Milk Union, Ara ‘Covers Samastipur, Darbhanga & Madhubani districts 6.> Bhagalpur Milk Union, Bhagalpur Covers bhojpur, buxar, Kaimur, Rohtas “The Milk Federation has already taken up organization of Dairy Co-operative Societies (DCS) in the districts of Gaya, Jahanabad, arwal and Nawada under Magadh dairy project and work has been initiated in Saharsa, Supaul and Madhepura districts. However, kosi dairy project will be covering Kishangunj, katihar, Purnia, and Araria districts also. The districts of East and West Singhbhum, Ranchi, Bokaro, Dhanbad, Jamshedpur and other districts of Jharkhand is covered by the COMFED(dairies) directly also under the control of Milk Federation for the supply of milk and milk products to the urban consumers In these cities. Procurement of milk has been taken up in Ranchi districts only.

The districts of East and West Singhbhum, Ranchi, Bokaro and Dhanbad are being covered by the dairies directly under the control of Milk Federation for the supply of milk and milk products to the urban consumers in these cities, Procurement of milk has been taken up in Ranchi district only. 3. Physical Performance: Because of initial teething troubles and the setback caused by the natural vagaries, the progress was impeded. Regaining of confidence of the milk producers in the cooperative dairying system shattered due to poor management by erstwhile Bihar State Cooperation earlier was also of one of the major reasons for sluggish growth. Lack of functional infrastructure in the sphere of animal husbandry, especially in breed improvement, artificial insemination (Al) and animal health cover also contributed to the torpid progress. Policy decisions taken six to seven years ago have changed the trend of growth in all quarters of cooperative dairying in Bihar. In the earlier years, the emphasis was on the horizontal of dairy cooperative network. Now the strengthening / consolidation of the dairy cooperatives is being done to make them viable and gradual expansion of area is also being done. Achievements under different activities are summarized in the following pages 4. Marketing 20| Paiquid Marketing In the initial years, the emphasis of COMFED was on organizing DCS and educating farmers. In the initial years the milk sale moved at snail's speed from Later, marketing was given a boost by considering it a thrust area, about 5 to 100.55 thousand liters per day in 1987 to 106.54 thousand liters per day (TLPD) in 1992-93. However, strategies adopted in 1993-94, changed the trend completely. Year 2003 was declared as "Market Development Year". The daily average milk marketing has now reached a level of about 531 TLPD showing a continued increase which is depicted below: Marketing of milk and milk products is being in about 80 to 85towns / cities through 7839 (407) outlets in Bihar and Jharkhand. 7, lakhs 81 thousand liter per day sale of Bihar and Jharkhand is covered by COMFED. It is being marketed in areas as far as Guwahati and Calcutta besides in cities like Varanasi and Siliguri. In order to boost the sale of liquid milk, the dairies adopted the following strategies: - 41.> Continual improvement in the quality of milk. It was achieved as a result of taking up taking up Dairy Plant Management (DPM) and Quality Assurance Program (QAP) by all the dairies with technical and financial assistance from NDDB / Comfed. Nine out of ten dairies of Comfed, namely, Patna, Muzaffarpur, Ranchi, Bokaro, Gaya, Bhagalpur, Jamshedpur, Barouni and Samastipur dairy have already been accredited with ISO: 9001:2000 and HACCP: ISO and HACCP certification. Bihar is one of the few States in the country which has been permitted by the National Dairy Development Board to use the “Mnemonic” symbol on the confirming the quality standards fixed by NDDB.42> Reaching close to the consumers by expanding the retail network and establishing new whole day milk booths. Strengthening of door delivery system. «Strengthening of marketing teams by inducting professionals and better supervision. «Liberalizing the terms for appointment of retailer's viz. reduction in the security deposits facility for cash collection, inereased commission, ete. «Creating consumer awareness and education. B, Milk Products Marketing With a view to improve the financial viability of dairies, broaden the product mix fo serve 8 larger section of the population and improve the disposal of milk procured by the DCS, the dairies have resorted to the production of long shelf-life, value added and fresh milk products {indigenous milk based products /sweets). The product mix comprises of Ghee, Table Butter, Ice Cream, Dahi (Mishti and Plain), Lassi (in sachets and Tetra Bricks), Flavored Milk, Peda, Kalakand, Gulabjamun, Rasogulla, Paneer (vacuum-packed), and Milk Cake and Khoa. Besides these products, surplus milk is conserved in the form of white butter, skim milk powder (SMP) and whole milk powder(WMP), which are mainly consumed by own dairies. Dairies are in the process of mechanizing the production processes for having better hygiene, improved sheltie life and commercial production. All the products are sold under ‘SUDHA’ brand name, Al's Performed [Adequate arrangements have been made to expand the coverage of dairy cooperative societies facilities available at Comfed headquarter are being under this program. For AI training, training 22| Pageutilized and some persons are provided training at ERDTC, Siliguri, a NDDB managed training center, Around 80% of the total functional DCS are covered under this program ‘Animal Health Program Main activities under animal health (AH) program include prophylactic vaccination, de- worming, mastitis control program, organization of veterinary/infertility camps and treatment of veterinary first AIS cases. Resume of different components of AH program is as follows Prophylactic Vaccination ‘Around 2665 Veterinary First Aid (VFA) centers have been established which do the vaccinations, Prophylactic inoculations are mainly done against Foot &Mouth Disease (FMD), Hemorrhage Septicemia (HS), Black Quarter (BQ) and Theileriosis diseases. During 2001-02, after initial trial, mass vaccination with Trio-o-vae (combined FMD, HS and BQ vaccine) on the lines of Pulse Polio vaccinations in children was taken up. During 2009-10 about 16.35 lakh vaccinations have been done. Mastitis Control Program This program has been taken up with the technical assistance from NDDB. Under this program, sereening of milk animals is done using "Masticate”. The doubtful or sub-clinical cases are given treatment. Awareness amongst the milk producers are created for disinfecting the udders and teats after milking with a view to check the infection of animals. Milk unions provide necessary disinfectant and treat cups to the milk producers on cost basis. Dew 2Worm infestation in the milk animals affects the productivity adversely. Hence, for improving the productivity and health of animals, de-worming with broad-spectrum anthelmintic is arranged regularly by the milk unions. Veterinary Camps “The milk unions organize veterinary camps where the milk producers bring their animals for treatment. Feed and Fodder Since, seventy-five to eighty percent of the cost of milk production depends on the feeding of milk animals; this is very important affecting the economy of dairying activity. Both green fodder and balanced cattle feed are required to beefed in appropriate quantities for optimizing the output ie. the production and also to maintain the health of the animal. The farmers in select dairy cooperative societies are being provided training through a computerized nutrition balancing system with the help of National Dairy Development Board, ‘Adult Cattle feed (ACF) and Bypass Protein Feed (BPF) is manufactured by us cattle feed plants (CFP) located at Patna, Ranchi and Muzaffarpur. The total installed capacity of these plants is 260 Metric Tons Per Day (MTD) The cattle feed produced by these plants is supplied on cost basis to the farmers. Besides manufacturing BPF and ACF, CFP Ranchi also manufactures other livestock feeds to meet the requirement of Govt. farms in Bihar and Jharkhand. During 2009-10, Tons, Green fodder is equally the sale of cattle feed to DCS was 57.55 thousand Met 2a[Paimportant in animal nutrition. Besides providing important nutrients, it helps in reducing the intake of balanced cattle feed and in turn the cost of production. After prolonged extension work and persuasion, the farmers have started not only the cultivation of different fodders in their fields but have started the production of fodder seeds, Another Important scheme under fodder development has been the treatment of straw with urea, which not only increases the palatability of dry fodder but increases its nutritional value also. Feeding of urea treated straw helps in reducing the cost of production of milk. Farmers have now taken it up on regular basis and during 2009-10 about 11613 MTs of straw has been treated, Training / Manpower Development Capacity building / skill up gradation has been given maximum emphasis in implementing the dairy development program, This has been achieved through regular training of milk producers, management committee members (MCM) of DCS, staff of DCS / milk unions of Comfed. Training of milk producers, DCS staff and MCM has been mainly arranged at the Comfed training center at Patna, Training programs organized at Comfed’s training center include programs of Society Operation for Secretaries, Orientation of MCM, AI & VFA training, Dairy ‘Animal Management, and Legal Literacy & Women Empowerment. Refresher courses and tailor made programs as per need of milk unions is also organized. Besides creating awareness amongst the milk producers about importance of clean milk production (CMP) program, efforts are made to install bulk coolers and link the DCS covered under CMP with these bulk coolers, Other actions taken include ~ Pre ponying arrival time of 25 | Pagemilk vehicles at chilling centers / dairy docks, use of Stainless. Steel milk cans, sanitization of milk cans, vigorous testing of adulterants etc. 26 | ePlant Name of the Plant with Capacity | [Pana Barouni Muzaffarpur | 150.0 VPMU 200.0 BMU 150.0 TMU | Samastipur Ara Jamshedpur 200.0 MMU 100.0 SMU 100.0 COMFED Ranchi Bokaro Bhagalpur 100.0 COMFED. 100.0 COMFED 25.0 COMFED Gaya Purnia Kaimur 35.0 COMFED 10.0 BMU 10.0 SMU Gopalganj 10.0 TMU Total 1190.0 Procurement ‘The milk procurement during 1994-95 averaged 114.32 thousand kg’s, per day which jumped more than five times to around 608.38 TKPD in 2006-07 but the devastating floods in July-Sept 2007 and also during second half of 2008 had very severe effect on the production of milk and its procurement by DCS.
