Abstract
Impressive gains have been made in our countries annual milk production since the inception of operation flood in 1970. Now India has gained first position in respect of milk production which is 70 million metric tonnes. But the per capita availability of milk is much below than recommended international label which is 280 g/day. Production of milk in our country is localised and also varies with season. This causes difficulty in getting fresh fluid milk. The problem of shortage of milk is further aggravated by the sweet makers and confectioners who use liquid milk to manufacture products. Increasing human population, utilization of milk by unorganised sectors, conversions of milk to indigenous products are responsible for the shortage of fresh fluid milk.
