EXCERPTS
Formation of NDDB
While Amul laid the foundation for a systematic approach to dairy development in India, through the early 1950s, the government also began its efforts to modernize the dairy industry. As a part of this, it made modernization of the industry a priority under the first Five-Year Plan of India in 1951.

Operation Flood aimed to create a 'flood of milk' across the country, to augment rural incomes and to empower milk producers so that they would become self-dependent and earn profits from marketing their produce (See Table I for the program's objectives)...
