Why in the News ?

The government announced ambitious targets under White Revolution 2.0 in the Rajya Sabha, aiming to significantly increase milk production and procurement, expand dairy cooperative networks, and promote women’s participation in the organised dairy sector over the next five years. The initiative aligns with the principles of environmental sustainability and pollution-free environment, ensuring that the dairy sector’s growth is balanced with environmental considerations.

  • The expansion will strengthen market access for dairy farmers and ensure better price realisation. 
  • The initiative is expected to generate employment opportunities in rural areas, while adhering to the principles of environmental sustainability and pollution-free environment. 
  • A major focus is on integrating more women dairy farmers into the organised cooperative framework. 
  • The programme aligns with goals of inclusive growth, income enhancement, nutritional security, and environmental protection, adhering to the principles of environmental jurisprudence and environmental democracy.
