NDDB Dairy Services (NDS), a wholly owned Section 8 not-for-profit subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), continues to champion women’s leadership in the dairy sector. While women have historically played a pivotal role in dairying—managing cattle, milking, and milk pouring—NDS has been instrumental in positioning them at the helm of commercial dairy enterprises, transforming them into decision-makers and business leaders.

Since its inception in 2009, NDDB Dairy Services has actively promoted women’s empowerment in the dairy value chain. Among the 22 operational Milk Producer Organizations (MPOs) facilitated by NDS, an impressive 17 are exclusively owned by women, with female-led boards steering their strategic direction. Notably, 18 out of 22 MPOs are chaired by women, showcasing the rise of women-led governance in the sector.
