The Bihar State Co-operative Milk Producers’ Federation Ltd (COMPFED)Sudha was established in

1983 as the implementing agency of operational Flood programme of dairy development on
“Anand”pattern in Bihar.

[edit]Areas of operations
There are five district level Milk Producers' Cooperative Unions affiliated to the Milk Federation. These
milk unions are covering twenty-two districts and in addition four districts are being covered by the
Federation.

Different milk unions, which are organising the DCS network in these districts are as follows:

i. Vaishali Patliputra Milk Union, Patna covering Patna, Vaishali, Nalanda and Saran districts.

ii. DR Milk Union, Barauni covering Begusarai, Khagaria, Lakhisarai & Saharsa districts.

iii. Tirhut Milk Union, Muzaffarpur covering Muzaffarpur, Sitamarhi, Sheohar, East Champaran, West
Champran, Siwan and Gopalganj

iv. Mithila Milk Union, Samastipur covering Samastipur, Darbhanga & Madhubani districts.

v. Shahabad Milk Union, Ara covering Bhojpur, Buxar, Kaimur & Rohtas districts.
The Milk Federation has already taken up organisation of Dairy Co-operative Societies (DCS) in the
districts of Gaya, Jehanabad, Munger and Bhagalpur. Work has also been initiated in Saharsa, Supaul
and Madhepura districts.

The districts of East and West Singhbhum, Ranchi, Bokaro and Dhanbad now in Jharkhand are being
covered by the dairies directly under the control of Milk Federation for the supply of milk and milk products
to the urban consumers in these cities. Procurement of milk has been taken up in Ranchi districts only.

[edit]Rivals

The success of Sudha resulted in similar organizations being setup by state governments throughout
India, most of which had reasonable success. Examples are Milma in Kerala, Vijaya in Andhra
Pradesh, Aavin in Tamil Nadu, K.M.F (Nandini) in Karnataka, Omfed in Orissa, saras in Rajasthan, Parag
in Uttar Pradesh, Verka in Punjab, Aanchal in uttaranchal, Vita in Haryana and others.[citation needed]

Other co-operative rivals of Sudha include National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) (with its Mother
Dairy and Sugam brands). With Sudha entering the sports drink market, its rivals now include Coca
Cola and PepsiCo.{{Citation needed|date=October 2009 India[1].
