Sri Lanka is the world’s second highest per-capita importer of milk powder and a very low level of dairy self-sufficiency. By contrast, India is today

the world’s largest dairy producer and almost entirely self-sufficient. How did India achieve this?

A government backed co-operative movement that lifted millions of people out of poverty (Operation Flood)
A committed social entrepreneur who led this effort (Dr. Kurein)
Strong local industrialists, businesses and brands (like Amul) that ensured profits and satisfaction across the entire value chain Bashing the multi-nationals, splashing slogans (and hoping our dairy industry will develop) may not take us too far. Will the ‘real industrialists’ please stand-up!
