India's organised dairy sector is built around village dairy cooperatives grouped into district milk unions and state federations, promoted by the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), alongside private dairy companies. Milk is collected from very many small producers and processed into liquid milk, ghee, paneer, butter, cheese and ice cream.
