White Revolution 2.0: Government to expand dairy cooperative coverage to uncovered villages by 2028-29
White Revolution 2.0 expands dairy cooperative coverage to uncovered villages by creating new societies and strengthening existing ones.
- White Revolution 2.0 is a Government of India programme to expand dairy cooperative coverage and milk procurement networks.
- Dairy cooperative societies are the institutional vehicle for collecting milk from producers and linking villages to organised procurement.
White Revolution 2.0 is the Government of India’s current push to expand dairy cooperative coverage in uncovered villages. The programme matters for UPSC because it links rural livelihoods, cooperative institutions, and milk procurement in the livestock economy.
What the Government of India has announced
The Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying says White Revolution 2.0 will expand dairy cooperative coverage by creating 75,000 new Dairy Cooperative Societies and strengthening 46,422 existing societies by 2028–29.
UPSC can frame White Revolution 2.0 around dairy cooperatives as instruments of rural income support, cooperative institutional expansion, and supply-chain formalisation in the livestock economy. Prelims can test the programme's objectives and implementing ministry, while Mains can examine cooperative viability, farmer inclusion, and procurement efficiency.
