Updated: Jun 2

Why We Celebrate World Milk Day

Every year on June 1st, World Milk Day is observed to recognize the value of milk as a global health food and a source of livelihood. Started by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the UN in 2001, this day celebrates the contribution of the dairy industry to nutrition and economic development.

India’s Milk Revolution: Inspired by Dr. Verghese Kurien

India’s journey to becoming the world’s largest milk producer began with one visionary — Dr. Verghese Kurien, the architect of India’s White Revolution and founder of Amul. Through co-operative dairy models, cold chain innovation, and local empowerment, he ensured that every farmer with even one cow could be a part of India's growth story.

Today, milk is not just a drink in India — it’s a business opportunity, nutritional solution, and cultural symbol.

India’s Protein Deficiency & Milk’s Role

Despite leading in milk production, India still struggles with protein deficiency — a silent health issue. Studies show over 70% of Indians consume less protein than required daily. Milk and its by-products are affordable, high-protein options that can bridge this gap, especially in urban and rural populations.

This presents a big opportunity for entrepreneurs to tap into the growing demand for:

  • Ready-to-drink dairy beverages

  • Fortified milk

  • Yogurt & probiotic drinks

  • Paneer, ghee, butter, and flavored dairy snacks

Milk-Based Product Ideas to Start Your Business

If you're looking to Start Your Milk-Based Business, here are some high-potential product ideas:

Flavored milk (rose, cardamom, chocolate)

  • Chaas (buttermilk), Lassi, Curd

  • Paneer and Ghee

  • Probiotic Yogurt / Greek Yogurt

  • Milkshakes & Health Drinks

  • Sweetened Condensed Milk

  • Milk-based protein shakes

  • Cottage cheese spreads and creams

With rising health awareness, these products offer excellent margins and fast-growing market segments.
