Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah launched the Sardar Patel Cooperative Dairy Federation Limited, a new multi-state cooperative institution aimed at creating a circular and inclusive economy for India’s dairy farmers.
Unveiled during a ceremony marking four years of the Ministry of Cooperation, the Federation is envisioned to complete the full cycle—from fair milk procurement and input services to price compensation and market access.
The federation, registered on 3rd July 2025 in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, will engage in the collection and processing of milk across 20 states and 2 Union Territories, including Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Assam, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Goa, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana.
With Jayen Mehta as its chief promoter, the cooperative is backed by an initial corpus of Rs 200 crore. Its primary objective is to bring together small and unregistered dairy farmers outside Gujarat, enabling them to become cooperative members and improve their livelihoods through collective participation.
The federation will operate on the Amul model and include members such as GCMMF, milk unions procuring milk from outside Gujarat, and rural cooperative societies from participating states.
The move is expected to strengthen the dairy value chain, ensure fair pricing, and promote rural prosperity through the cooperative movement.
