Digitalizing India’s Dairy Sector

• Digital stack layered over India's cooperative dairy ecosystem — combining Pashu Aadhaar (unique livestock IDs), Automatic Milk Collection Systems (AMCS), i-DIS (cooperative MIS) and GIS-based route optimisation to enable traceability, transparent payments and data-driven decisions.
• India is the world's largest milk producer (~25% of global output); digitisation is the keystone of efforts to formalise a largely smallholder, cooperative-led sector.
• Relevant for GS-III (agriculture, animal husbandry, technology in food chain) and GS-II (e-governance schemes); rich in MCQ-grade scheme nomenclature.
