Abstract
"Women play a vital role in the dairy
sector of India. Dairy cooperatives
provide sustainable livelihood to millions
of households in rural India. Several
initiatives for empowerment of women are
undertaken by the Government in dairy
development programmes, the central focus
is predominantly on milk, milk products
and livestock rather than on women. The
scenario is fast changing with the
increasing recognition of the dynamic role
played by women and the inherent
advantages of women empowerment for
'smart' economics."
