SUPPORT FOR WOMEN IN DAIRY SECTOR

• Women constitute ~70% of the workforce in India's dairy farming, yet remain under-represented in organised cooperative structures; targeted schemes seek to formalise and empower them.
• Flagship vehicle: "White Revolution 2.0" launched by the Ministry of Cooperation, with women's empowerment as one of three pillars (cooperative coverage, employment generation, women empowerment).
• UPSC relevance: cross-cuts GS-II (welfare schemes, cooperatives), GS-III (agriculture & allied sector, food processing) and GS-I (women empowerment).
