DAIRY

A dairy is a facility for the extraction and processing of animal milk - mostly from goats or cows, but also from buffalo, sheep, or camels - for human consumption.

People feed their buffalos on various kinds of grass and the jowar and bajra that grow during the rainy season.

The milk is sold in the nearby large village. Traders have set up collection cum chilling centers

from where the milk is transported to far away towns and cities.

More than 40% of Indian farming households are engaged in milk production.

In 2001 India became the world leader in milk production with a production volume of 84 million tons.

In current scenario, Uttar Pradesh is on top in ranking for milk production in India.

In India ‘Operation Flood’ was a rural development program started by India's National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in the year 1970.

‘Operation Flood’ resulted in making India one of the largest producers of milk and milk products, and hence is also called the White Revolution of India.

Amul (Anand Milk Union Limited) was the company behind the success of ‘Operation Flood’

Amul was formed in the year 1946. It is based in Anand town, in Gujarat and has been

a sterling example of a co-operative organization's success in the long run.

Amul has spurred the White Revolution of India, which has made India the largest producer of milk and milk products in the world. It is also the world's biggest vegetarian cheese brand.

SMALL SCALE MANUFACTURING In villages manufacturing takes place in a very

small scale with simple production methods. People are engaged in the production at their

own home or in fields. Only less than 50 people are engaged in

manufacturing. Sugarcane is the most common small scale

manufacturing business in village.

Some of the people have machines to crush the sugarcanes.

Earlier crushing sugarcane was done by the help of bullocks.

They crush the sugarcane and produce jaggery and further sell it to traders to make small profits.

SHOP KEEPING The few shopkeepers buy various goods from

wholesale markets in the cities and sell them in the villages.

Shopkeepers play a big role in villages. All day-to-day, non-agricultural products, are provided in villages in shops.

The small general stores in the village sells a wide range of items like rice, wheat, sugar, tea, oil, biscuits, soap, toothpaste, batteries, candles, notebooks, pen, pencil and even cloth.

TRANSPORT Communicating from village to town for

purchasing and selling goods have improved in villages.

We can find rickshaws, tongas, jeep, tractors, bullock carts and bogey's for transportation.

They ferry people and goods from village to town and in return get paid for it.
