  The revolutionary, 'Billion-litre idea' and execution of the world's largest dairy-agricultural development programme, 'Operation Flood' transformed India from a nation with potential in the dairy industry to a nation with massive production of milk and dairy products.

It created a national milk grid linking producers throughout India with consumers in over 700 towns and cities, reducing seasonal and regional price variations while ensuring that the producer gets a major share of the price, consumers pay, by cutting out middlemen.
