White Revolution

Milk production in India increased from 17 million tons in 1950-51 to 84.6 million tons in 2001-02 and is expected to reach 88 million tons during 2002-03 (GOI, 2003). Therefore, from being a recipient of massive material support from the World Food Program and European Community in the 1960s, India has rapidly positioned itself as the world’s largest producer of milk. Milk production in India during the last five decades is shown in Figure 2.1 and Tables 2.1 and 2.2.

Milk production in the country was stagnant during the 1950s and 1960s, and annual production growth was negative in many years. This policy initiative gave a boost to dairy development and initiated the process of establishing the much-needed linkages between rural producers and urban consumers.
