New Delhi has taken multiple measures to improve the sector, resulting in a rise in domestic milk production by more than 44 percent in the last eight years.

The story of the Indian dairy industry, which accounts for 23 percent of world production, produces 210 million tons per year, and trains more than 80 million farmers, will be showcased at the Summit.

India became the world’s largest producer of milk due to the collective efforts of small dairy farmers, according to Modi.
