Strategic Alliance between ICAR and NDDB to Strengthen Research, Innovation, and Extension

• MoU between ICAR and NDDB signed on 12 January 2026 to deepen collaboration in multidisciplinary research, innovation, capacity building and extension across the entire dairy value chain.
• Pairs ICAR's scientific R&D capacity with NDDB's grassroots cooperative network, targeting India's millions of dairy farmers — relevant for GS-III (Agriculture, Animal Husbandry) and GS-II (Governance, statutory bodies).
• Falls within India's broader White Revolution 2.0 push; India is the world's largest milk producer since 1998, contributing ~25% of global milk output.
