National Milk Day - India
Background
Milk Day is celebrated in India on 26th November 2021 in memory of the father of the white revolution,
Dr. Verghese Kurien. In the year 2014, the Indian Dairy Association (IDA) took the initiative to celebrate National Milk Day in India.
In the year 1965, Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri assigned Dr. Kurien to create the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB).
Today
In India we have come a long way in becoming the world's largest milk producer. In the 70s the then chief minister of Maharashtra State had predicted that milk would be made available through taps, like tap water. India has achieved what he meant. Making milk available all when needed.
I have plotted the 10 Largest Milk Producing Countries 2020. India was at the top with 196.18 million tonnes of milk production in 2019.
