What began as a humble cooperative initiative in 1969 with just eight villages has grown into Asia’s largest milk-producing dairy, touching millions of lives across eight Indian states.
Highlighting this remarkable journey, the Ministry of Cooperation has showcased Banas Dairy as an inspiring example of how the cooperative movement can transform rural communities while contributing to the nation’s economic growth.
Today, Banas Dairy has expanded its operations beyond Gujarat to Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, creating a vast network of milk producers and consumers.
Its growth reflects the power of collective enterprise, where farmers come together to build institutions that generate livelihoods, strengthen rural economies and ensure a steady supply of nutritious dairy products.
From its modest beginnings in eight villages to its presence across eight states, Banas Dairy exemplifies the spirit of Sahkar Se Samriddhi, nourishing the nation while empowering local communities.
