CHAPTER-2

Evolution

Karnataka Milk Federation which is most popular as KMF, evolved itself as a premier and most
profitable dairy farmers’ organization in the State of Karnataka.
As an agency in 1975 to implement the World Bank Aided Dairy Development
Projects,Karnataka Dairy Development Corporation (KDDC) was formed, the company grew
itself fast and as it spreads the wings of new found rural economic activity – Dairying all over
the State, the genesis of apex cooperative body took the shape of KMF in 1984 encompassing
entire State with 13 District Co-operative Milk Unions executing the various parameters of Dairy
activity – organization of Dairy Co-operatives, Milk Routes, Veterinary Services, Procurement of
milk in two shifts of the day, Chilling, Processing of milk, distribution of milk and also
establishment of Cattle Feed Plants, Nandini Sperm Station, Liquid Nitrogen Supply, Training
Centres – as its main stay.

The entire system was reconstructe” on the model of now well known `ANAND’ pattern
dairy cooperative societies. Eight southern districts of Karnataka was considered initially with a
target of organizing 1800 Dairy Co-operative Societies, four Milk Unions and processing
facilities were set up to the tune of 6.5 lakhs per day by 1984.

Under Operation Flood – II &III, project which started in 1984 & 1987 covered the
remaining parts of Karnataka. Thirteen milk unions were organized in 175 talukas of all 20
districts then and the field work was extended by organizing more dairy cooperative societies.
The processing facilities i.e. chilling centers, milk dairies and powder plants were transferred in
phases to the administrative control of respective cooperative milk unions and the activities
continued to be implemented by these District Organisations. Additional processing facilities
were created & existing facilities augmented every decade with the help of Govt. / Zilla
Panchayat and NDDB (Under Perspective Plan) to handle ever increasing milk procurement
without declaring milk holidays. The processing facility as exists at 57.40 lakh liters/day is
further strengthened.
 Vision & Mission

Vision

To march forward with a missionary zeal which will make KMF a trailblazer of exemplary
performance and achievements beckoning other Milk Federations in the country in pursuit of
total emulation of its good deeds.

• To ensure prosperity of the rural Milk producers who are ultimate owners of the
Federation.

• To Promote producer oriented viable cooperative society to impart an impetus to the

rural income, dairy productivity and rural employment.

• To abridge the gap between price of milk procurement and sale price.

• To develop business acumen in marketing and trading disciplines so as to serve

consumers with quality milk, give a fillip to the income of milk producers.

• To compete with MNCs and Private Dairies with better quality of milk and milk products
and in the process sustain invincibility of cooperatives.

Mission

Heralding economic, social and cultural prosperity in the lives of our milk producer members by
promoting vibrant, self-sustaining and holistic cooperative dairy development in Karnataka State.

Objectives

KMF is a Cooperative Apex Body in the State of Karnataka representing organisations of milk
producers’ and implementing all round dairy development activities to achieve the following
objectives:
 • To ensure assured and remunerative market round the year for the milk produced by the
farmer members.
• To make available quality milk and other premier dairy products to urban consumers.
• To build & develop village level institutions as cooperative model units to manage the
dairy activities.
• To ensure provision of inputs for milk production, processing facilities and dissemination
of know how.
• To facilitate rural development by providing opportunities for self employment at village
level, preventing migration to urban areas,introducing cash economy and opportunity for
a sustained income.
The philosophy of dairy development is to eliminate middlemen and organise institutions to be
owned and managed by the milk producers themselves, employing professionals. To sum it up,
every activity of KMF revolves around meeting one basic objective: ‘Achieve economies of
scale to ensure maximum returns to the milk producers, at the same time facilitate wholesome
milk at reasonable price to urban consumers’. Ultimately, the complex network of cooperative
organisation should build a bridge between masses of rural producers and millions of urban
consumers and in the process achieve a socio-economic revolution in every hinterland of the
State.

Organisation Chart

The organization is three tiered on Co-operative principles.

1. Dairy Co-operative Societies at grass root level.

2. District Co-operative Milk Unions at single / multi district level.
3. Milk Federation at State level.
All above three are governed by democratically elected board from among the milk producers.
Under the direction of elected boards, KMF, various functional Units & Unions are performing
the assigned tasks to ensure fulfilment of organisation objectives.

During the last ten years, the Federation is giving greater emphasis on procuring quality milk
from DCSs under the concept of “Quality Excellence from Cow to Consumer.” Many Clean
Milk Production (CMP) initiatives have been implemented at all the stages of procurement,
processing and marketing. Among these CMP initiatives, noteworthy initiative is the setting up
of Community Milking Parlours in villages.

The KMF is forerunner to introduce this innovative technological initiative for bringing
about revolutionary improvement in quality of milk collected in DCSs. This system has several
advantages such as elimination of mastitis in milch animals and improvement of productivity.
The milk from milking machines, collected through Automatic Computerized Milk Collection
Units is chilled directly in Bulk Milk Coolers. This chilled raw milk, untouched and
unadulterated by human hands, has very high microbiological quality, comparable to
international standards. This high quality milk is being utilized for manufacturing high quality
value added milk products, for both domestic as well as international markets.

Other Clean Milk Production (CMP) Initiatives include: -

 Training of milk producers on modern dairy husbandry practices and Clean Milk
Production (CMP).
 Providing Stainless Steel utensils, antiseptic solutions for udder cleaning on pre and post
milking, etc. to producers.
 Training to DCS staff and officers of the Unions on Clean Milk Production (CMP).
 Replacing Aluminium milk cans and collection vessels with Stainless Steel –304.
 Posters, documentary films and booklets on Clean Milk Production (CMP).

Step
Support to Training and Employment Programme (STEP) for Women was launched by the
Ministry of Women & Child Development, Government of India, as one of the measures to
ensure well being of women in the traditional informal sector in the year 1986 and advocates the
objective of extending training for upgradation of skills and sustainable employment for women
through a variety of action oriented projects which employ women in large numbers.

The Concept

The Programme of STEP aims to make a significant impact by upgrading skills and
providing employment to women on a project basis by mobilising women in viable groups,
improving skills, arranging for productive assets, creating backward and forward linkages,
improving /arranging for support services, providing access to credit and awareness generation
programmes in gender sensitization, nutrition education, legal literacy and sensitization of
project functionaries. Thus STEP advocates a package of inputs aiming at the integrated
development of poor women in traditional sectors. The ultimate endeavour of the project is to
develop the group to thrive on a self sustaining basis in the market place with the minimal
Governmental support and intervention after the completion of project period.

The main features of the STEP Sche”e is Training, Providing margin money conducting
Awareness Generation Programme at village level and visit to Amul in Anand,Gujarat. The STEP
WDCS also carries out programme for the benefit of rural women, apart from milk procurement,
milk marketing and providing technical input for their members.

Objectives
 To organize exclusive Women Dairy Cooperatives and to take up employment cum
income generation activities.
 To provide need based and extensive training for skill upgradation.
 Mobilizing women information of Self Help Groups as a tool for income generating
activity and for easy access to credit.
 Provide support services, backward and forward linkages and improving employment
conditions of women.
 Creating awareness through designed programme.
 Confidence building among women and to generate leadership qualities.

KMF AND STEP PROJECT

Karnataka Milk Federation(KMF) initiated the STEP Programme in Karnataka from October
1997. Since then, KMF has organized 800 Women Dairy Cooperative Societies(WDCS) in three
Phases and in Phase IV converted 250 WDCS organized prior to the advent of STEP into STEP
WDCS. In addition to these in the year 2007, the Government of India has approved two more
Phases – Phase V for organizing of 200 new WDCS and Phase VI for bringing the 200 existing
WDCS into the fold of STEP. Thus 1450 WDCS are sanctioned by Government of India(till
Jan’09 WDCS are 1189) at a total outlay of Rs.3974.64 lakh and has released till January-2009
Rs.2686.10 lakh. Each WDCS gets a grant of approximately Rs.2.50 to 3.00 lakh for
establishment, management and for granting interest-free loan for purchasing milch animals. The
share of Government of India is 90% and implementing agency i.e. KMF and its Member Milk
Unions share is 10%.

TARGET GROUP
The KMF is implementing STEP Scheme through its 13 Member District Milk Unions. The
District Milk Unions form the STEP Core Team which through Bench Mark Survey identifies the
Target Group Members that include the marginalized, assetless, wage labourers, women headed
households, migrant labourers, tribals and other dispossessed rural women. Thus the
beneficiaries in the project will be poor or assetless marginalized women with special focus on
SC/ST households, woman headed households and families below poverty line.

HEALTH AND NUTRITION PROGRAM

To provide intensive knowledge to all the members of the society for welfare of their
family members in terms of health and hygiene, balanced food, mother and child health care,
safe drinking water, vaccination, preventive measures for diseases, usage of locally available
vegetables, eradication of dogmatic social customs and rituals and prevention of malnutrition,
demonstration of infant and young child nutritious food preparation from the locally available
materials. 3 to 4 one day shibiras are conducted in each WDCS with a financial assistance of
Rs.6,000/- to Rs.8,000/-.

LEGAL LITERACY PROGRAM

Legal Literacy Programme is conducted at village level with the assistance of eminent
advocates particularly lady advocates who are taken to the village to impart awareness on rights
of women in property, prevention of dowry, authorities to approach in case of domestic violence,
harassment etc. The visits are arranged to Courts, Police Stations, Tahsildar Offices and Banks to
acquaint themselves regarding the working of these institutions. 3 to 4 one day shibiras were
conducted.

GENDER SANITIZATION PROGRAM

 This programme is conducted to sensitize women members in gender differences and to
promote girl child education on par with male child and widow re-marriages. Know-how
regarding agencies working for the welfare of women and the financial assistance available from
Government agencies is provided to create self-sustaining ability in women folk. 3 to 4 one day
shibiras were conducted along with one day shibira for male orientation for the husbands of the
women members to sensitize them regarding multifarious problems faced by women and to
enlist their cooperation in running institutions managed by women.

MARGIN MONEY

Margin money of Rs.5,000/- is provided to Target Group Members (earlier it was Rs.3,000/-
) for purchasing milch animals to uplift their economic conditions. Financial institutions demand
at least 20% of margin money from each beneficiary. The beneficiary is economically weak may
not afford to pay margin money. Hence, Rs.5,000/- is provided as an interest-free loan to 15
members in Phase-V & 12 members in Phase-IV which remain as a revolving fund with the dairy
cooperatives and enable the society to extend margin money benefit to rest of the Target Group
Members of the WDCS on continuous basis. Thus Rs.60,000 to Rs.75,000/- is provided to each
society.

SELF – HELP GROUPS

Another important feature of WDCS is promotion of Self-Help Groups(SHG) by its

Target Group Members. STEP Programme implementation proposes formation of at least one
Self-Help Group. In this way 1375 SHGs are formed with a savings of Rs.475.33 lakhs. The
Nandini Self-Help Groups which are centers of empowerment are working for the socio-
economic development of rural women.

The positive intervention by KMF with the help of Government of India is resulting in slow
emergent of movement of rural women, who have seen little beyond their immediate work at
home, their farm and the village.

The aim is to enhance women’s bargaining power as members of the society by increasing their
access and control over household and community resources
SANJEEVINI – KARNATAKA STATE RURAL LIVELIHOOD PROMOTION SOCIETY
( KSRLPS)

KSHEERA SANJEEVINI

KMF initiated ‘Ksheera Sanjeevini’ – Phase-I project with Sanjeevini-KSRLPS from

April 2014. The proposed project brings 250 existing Women Dairy Co-operative Societies by
the 13 District Milk Unions into the fold of Ksheera Sanjeevini. It is anticipated to enroll 10,000
women as Target Group Members (TGMs) with a procurement of 62,000 liters of milk per Day.

This project will provide direct employment to 750 rural women in 250 WDCS. The
outlay of the project is Rs.17.10 Crores for three years. The project cost per beneficiary
would be Rs.17,100/-, each WDCS gets a grant of approximately Rs.4.55 Lakhs for
Management, Training, awareness Programmes and for granting interest free loan for
purchasing milch animals, Insurance for the animals and transportation & Cattle feed for
one time. The share of Sanjeevini-KSRLPS is 86.85% and implementing agency i.e., KMF
and its member Unions share is 13.15%. The Project envisages enhancing the net income
of women by Rs.3000/- to Rs.3500/- per month by the end of the project.The project aims at
socio economic development of women through dairy farming.

 covers around 4.34 lakh (20%) landless laborers, 9.01 lakhs(40%) small farmers, 7.11
lakhs(32%) marginal farmers and 3.90 lakhs(18%) others. Of the total membership, 8.66
Lakh (39%) are women members and 3.94 Lakh (18%) belong to SC/ST groups.
 The State Government has magnanimously increased the incentive, being paid for every
litre of milk supplied by farmers to Dairy Cooperatives in the state, from Rs. 4 to Rs. 5.
This ground breaking support program, implemented nowhere else in the country, is
acting as a remarkable growth stimulus for the cooperative dairy sector in the state.
 Farmers have earned over Rs.134.25(Nov’17)crores over the last 40 years.
 At present, an average daily payment of around Rs. 19 Crores is paid to milk producers.
 Implementation of ‘Yashaswini Health Insurance Scheme’, to benefit farmer families of
Dairy Cooperatives.
 Majority of our member milk producers are small farmers, marginal farmers and landless
laborers, who need hand-holding in their critical times of distress. KMF is implementing
several financial assistance programs of GOK, some of which are: Establishment of 1000
Dairy Cooperative Societies in North Karnataka; Implementation of Nanjundappa report
for overcoming regional imbalances; Equity contribution for loan repayment of Northern
Milk Unions; Amrutha Yojane for Devadashis and widows Rs. 750 lakhs, SC women
(Special Component program) Rs. 289 lakhs, and ST women (Tribal Sub plan) Rs. 289
lakhs
 Karnataka Milk Federation is also successfully implementing Central Government
Schemes, such as Clean Milk Production Program, RKVY and National Programme for
Dairy Development(NPDD) in Kalaburgi, Yadagir and Bidar Districts
 Rs. 10 Crores sanctioned in RKVY 2015-16 for the development of Bidar district as Milk
Shed Area. Under this scheme programs such as animal induction, strengthening of
artificial insemination, strengthening of marketing activities are under implementation
 ‘Nandini Dairy Farmers Welfare Trust’ Hostel has been established in the Bengaluru city
for the benefit of farmers’ children at the cost of Rs. 12.96 crores and is now serving
around 252 girls and 246 , who are pursuing higher education in the City.
 Strengthening training facilities – The KMF is making great efforts to ensure that DCS
operate as profitable business units and producer members play active role in the
management of their DCS. Determined efforts are being made continually to build the
capacities of our member producers by making large investments in member education
and training. KMF is developing its training facilities into state-of-the-art facilities and
has conducted many need-based training programs to farmers. Conducted many programs
on Dairy animal management, First-aid, Aritificial insemination, Clean milk production,
and other HRD programs.
 Input Support to Producers
 Cattle Feed Production and Sales – Supply of balanced cattle feed in sufficient quantity at
reasonable price is very essential for boosting milk production in the State. During 2015-
 16, KMF has supplied 5,07,851 MTs of Cattle feed, which is 16% higher than the
4,37,008 MTs sold during 2014-15.
 The four Cattle Feed Plants of the Federation have excelled in productivity by capacity
utilization of more than 120%, so as to meet the ever increasing demand for NANDINI
cattle feed from producers. All the Cattle feed plants are ISO 9001:2008 certified for
producing quality cattle feed.
 In order to meet the increasing demand for NANDINI cattle feed, new 300 MTD (MTs
per Day) each Cattle Feed Unit have been commissioned at Hassan and Shikaripur.
 The capacity of Dharwar Cattle Feed plant has been expanded from 150 MTD to 200
MTD.

under the technical guidance of NIANP. Now, this concept has become very popular
across the country.
 Established Mineral Mixture Plants in Gubbi, Dharwar and Hassan Cattle Feed Plants.
 Fodder Densification Units – In the present days of increasing manufacturing cost of
cattle feeds, the profitability of dairying to farmers is getting constantly eroded. Hence,
effective utilization of locally available roughages is a promising solution to increase
farmers’ profitability in milk production. KMF has initiated ambitious program to
commission Fodder Densification Units in the state. In these units, locally available poor
quality roughages are converted into nutritive fodder blocks for feeding to cattle. The
production of these blocks result in preventing wastage of roughages, increased nutritive
value, year-long availability of fodder and reduced transportation costs due to reduction
in bulk. Fodder Densification Units are present at Chamarajanagar, Haveri and DK unit at
Hassan each with a capacity of 12 MTD
 Constructed 2500 MT and 5000 MT capacity Cattle Feed raw materials storage godowns
in Gubbi and Dharwar Cattle Feed Plants respectively.
 To increase the milk productivity in cattle, other steps that have been taken are:
Increasing the AI coverage and reach; Biosecurity measures to ensure quality genetic
materials; establishing disease free zones for the elimination of diseases such as Foot &
Mouth, Brucellosis, etc.
 The overwhelming success of AI programs in the State is due to superior quality Semen
Straws, being produced in the Nandini Sperm Station of the Federation. This Station has
been recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture, GOI, as the 2nd Best A Grade Station in
the Country and this station is also certified for ISO 9001:2008.

The Dairy Supply Chain or Cow-To-Consumer process as it is generally called is a model for
milk procurement and production of assorted products made out of milk like cheese, butter, curds,
ghee, ice-cream, etc.
Let’s analyses the dairy production procedure and find out the stage’s dairy milk goes through
until it finally reaches consumers.

The dairy farming process begins by milking the cattle. A farmer manages a small dairy farm
where milking is carried out. Milking is a crucial activity forming the maiden point of milk
business chain contributing to the overall milk production. The farmer extracts milk from milch
animals, traditionally cows and buffaloes either manually using his hands or mechanically through
a dairy farm equipment called milking machine. He milks the cattle two times a day, the first shift
takes place in the morning and the latter one in evening. The milk produced during the day is
collected into large cans and taken by the farmer to a nearby Village Dairy Cooperative Society
(DCS) for milk testing and analysis.

DCS comprises of milk collection centers that operate at the village level. A center constitutes a
panel of villagers that head and operate it and members comprise of farmers who deposit their
milk to Dairy Cooperative Society. A member who operates the milk collection center takes a
sample of milk brought by the farmer and tests it using a milk analyzer/electronic milk
tester/Gerber. The tests are carried out in order to evaluate the quality of milk based on essential
parameters like fat content in milk, the amount of Solid Not Fat (SNF) present, the density of
milk, and check for any milk adulteration (determined by the proportion of water residues present
in milk). SNF consists of proteins (casein and lactalbumin), carbohydrates (lactose) and
minerals (calcium and phosphorus) that altogether maintain the required texture of milk.
All the resulting values are noted down corresponding to the respective parameters. A final amount
of payment is calculated on the premise of the values obtained which is subsequently paid to the
farmer. The members collectively look after the milk society, thereby maintaining transparency
and trust. All the milk that is accumulated by DCS is either stored in Bulk milk coolers (BMC) or
sent in cans to nearest chilling centers of the Union.

BMC is a large storage tank that holds milk at a cold temperature until picked by milk tanker
vans. These tanks are available in varying capacities of 1.5, 2, 3, 5, and 10 tons. BMC is deployed
at all DCS in order to preserve the quality of milk, eliminating curdling and adulteration, and

8
spillage of milk. A monitoring system is attached to the BMC that logs and tracks milk quantity,
along with a compressor that maintains the temperature of milk inside the tank. Also, an agitator
is implantedwithin the tank which keeps rotating to avoid icing of milk. Power supply through a
generator or direct line is also monitored by this system. In addition to this, a BMC helps in cutting
down the transportation costs as chilling of milk at primary dairy can be avoided, resulting in
better returns to the farmers. Thus, the milk collected at DCS is supplied to the milk industry for
further milk processing and also to export markets. The transportation of milk is done by
refrigerated/insulated milk tankers vans. The milk contained in the BMC tanks is emptied into
these tankers and transported to the milk industry. These tankers primarily maintain a suitable
temperature for milk to avoid souring while amidst being carried to milk industry. Once the
tankers/vans arrive at the dairy industry, they drop the milk in the factory and take on other
routes to collect more milk. At the dairy plant, the collected milk is processed to produce various
products. But before processing, it is tested again to check if the milk quality qualifies the required
standard. If it does, milk is sent for further processing otherwise discarded at the initial stage itself.
Here, some part of milk is pasteurized and packed in appropriate packaging, generally called milk
pouches. These pouches are distributed to all the places within 24 hours. It is termed as liquid
milk and supposed to be consumed within the same time frame. While in some pouches, required
preservatives are added to increase the shelf life of milk and retain its quality at the same time.
This milk is delivered to those places which are located far away from the milk industry and it
takes comparatively longer time reach there. The remaining part of milk undergoes various
necessary procedures to derive other dairy products like cheese, cream, butter, powdered and
condensed milk, yogurt, ice-creams, chocolates, and much more. Each product that is derived
from milk
