A STUDY OF THE PERFORMANCE OF INDIAN DAIRY INDUSTRY

Abstract

India is a developing economy having agriculture as its primary occupation of a considerably larger populace. Agriculture in India is monsoon-dependent, while it gives employment to almost 50% of the population, the farmers still live in pitiable situations. Poor and debt ridden farmers tend to commit suicides owing to them failing to adjust to the challenges posed by man and mother nature. In such a situation, making available to them a fitting alternative is vital for earning their bread and butter. Dairy facilitates thwarting such adverse conditions. This research article makes efforts to highlight the dairy business as a budding agriculture-sector ally.
