National Milk Day is observed annually on November 26 to honour the birth anniversary of Dr. Verghese Kurien, the Father of India’s White Revolution. The day celebrates his pivotal role in transforming India from a milk-deficient nation to the world’s largest milk producer, contributing nearly 25% of global milk output. National Milk Day highlights achievements in dairy production, livestock care, and rural livelihoods, as well as initiatives like Operation Flood, the Rashtriya Gokul Mission, and the National AI Programme. The observance also emphasises women’s empowerment in dairy cooperatives and India’s advancements in infrastructure, technology, and GST reforms within the dairy sector.
