Banking & Credit :: NATIONAL DAIRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD (NDDB)

Philosophy
  • Cooperation is the preferred form of enterprise, giving people control over the resources they create through democratic self-governance.
  • Self-reliance is attained when people work together, have a financial stake, and both enjoy the autonomy and accept the account ability for building and managing their own institutions.
  • Progressive evolution of the society is possible only when development is directed by those whom it seeks to benefit.
  • In particular, women and the less privileged must be involved in cooperative management and decision-making.
  • Technological innovation and the constant search for better ways to achieve our objectives is the best way to retain our leading position in a dynamic market.
  • While our methods change to reflect changing conditions, our purpose and values must remain constant.

In addition to helping build self-sustaining cooperatives, the NDDB is committed to serve its rural constituency by including Women's Development and Leadership Development Programmes as a central part of its activities. Need-based consultancy is provided to help evolve strategies to strengthen dairy cooperatives as well as to increase milk procurement.
