SERVING TO MEET DEMAND: A country boat transporting milk in the backwaters of Alappuzha, Kerala. The boat serves as a mobile milk collection centre.

The country's milk output is projected to have topped 100 million tonnes last year, thanks to the ongoing demand-side developments and supply-side promotions. Increasing demand for value-added milk and extensive dairy development programmes have aided the growth of the milk sector.
