Think & Discuss
Reviving India’s Dairy Sector: Can White Revolution 2.0 Transform Rural Livelihoods?
Context from today’s quiz: White Revolution 2.0 aims to increase milk procurement by 50% over 5 years, establishing 1.20 lakh dairy cooperative societies. This follows the original White Revolution (Operation Flood) that transformed India into the world’s largest milk producer in the 1970s-80s.
🤔 Your Perspective Matters
The dairy sector directly impacts over 80 million rural households in India, predominantly small and marginal farmers. While White Revolution 2.0 promises infrastructure expansion and increased procurement, questions remain about sustainability, climate impact, and fair pricing for farmers.
How can India balance scaling up dairy production with ensuring farmer welfare, environmental sustainability, and climate resilience?
