Abstract
THE immense importance of a substantial increase in production and consumption of milk and milk products, both to the balance of Indian agriculture and in contributing protein, fat and minerals to the very largely cereal diet of the 320 ± 20 million inhabitants of present-day India is being increasingly appreciated in that country. For perhaps two decades, real efforts have been made to improve the dairy industry in India both as regards milk production (in which Mahatma Gandhi took a personal interest) and as regards milk distribution and manufacture. Progress, hindered by religious as well as economic obstacles, has, however, been rather disappointing.
