Resources, Institutions, and Strategies Operation Flood and Indian Dairying

Operation Flood has attracted a great deal of attention in India and abroad. This volume considers some of the major issues raised by the programme. In particular it analyzes the factors responsible for the growth of the 'Anand Pattern' which has been chosen as the model for institutional intervention. The volume also covers the possibility of successfully replicating this model in differing agro-ecological and socio-economic environments and the impact of the investments made under Operation Flood on the agricultural sector and the structure of India's cattle population. There are important sections on the ability of Operation Flood to act as an agent of the socio-economic transformation of weaker sections in rural society and the implications for the achievement of a self-reliant dairy economy on the investments made under the programme.Doornbos, Martin is the author of 'Resources, Institutions, and Strategies Operation Flood and Indian Dairying' with ISBN 9780803996489 and ISBN 0803996489.
