abstract
The primary goal of the study is to comprehend the state of the Indian dairy sector today and the different concerns that the industry's stakeholders are facing. This is an overview of studies on the dairy sector. A random selection of 24 research articles related to data for various Indian states was made. Primary data gathered from dairy farmers (members or non-members of cooperative organizations) was the basis for 14 out of 24 publications. The main problems identified were inadequate supplies of concentrates and forage, limited access to veterinarian and diagnostic services, and inadequate knowledge of technology. Dairy producers in majority of India's areas dealt with these common problems. Some of the problems were region-specific; for example, milk and milk products were not part of the everyday diets of the people in Assam, which is not the case in other states in the nation. The remaining ten studies either dealt with cooperative and private dairy farms, cooperative federations, or the state's overall dairy situation. It was discovered that the primary source of total expenditures was procurement, with processing coming in second. The economic sustainability of the dairy units in question was assessed by these investigations.
