The Dairy Board implements cooperative development and governance programmes across the country.  The aim is to help create self-reliant and professionally managed cooperative institutions, responsive to the economic and social expectations of their members.

In addition to helping build self-sustaining cooperatives, the NDDB is committed to serve its rural constituency by including Women's Development and Leadership Development Programmes as a central part of its activities. Need-based consultancy is provided to help evolve strategies to strengthen dairy cooperatives as well as to increase milk procurement.  

The National Dairy Development Board assists in Institution Building (IB),  Enhancing Women Involvement in Cooperatives (EWIC) and Strengthening Procurement Systems (SPS).

In addition to our client organisations -- state cooperative milk marketing federations and milk producers' cooperative unions -- NDDB's Cooperative Development and Governance services are available to non-government organisations and developmental agencies involved in working with dairy and allied cooperatives and with women's empowerment.
