National Dairy Development Board
The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) is an institution in India established in 1965 to promote and develop the dairy sector. It aims to increase milk production, enhance the income of dairy farmers, and provide quality dairy products to consumers. The NDDB plays a crucial role in implementing various dairy development programs and initiatives across the country.
One of the key initiatives of the NDDB is the Operation Flood program, which transformed India into one of the largest milk producers in the world. The board also supports cooperative societies, helping farmers to collectively market their milk and dairy products. Through these efforts, the NDDB contributes significantly to rural development and food security in India.
