How Dairy Cooperatives Uplift Rural Maharashtra

The Rajarambapu Patil Sangh Story: More Than Milk

Milk is more than nourishment in Maharashtra’s villages—it’s a source of livelihood, dignity, and hope. And behind every drop of Krushna Doodh lies the strength of a cooperative movement that has transformed lives across the state.

At the heart of this transformation is the Rajarambapu Patil Sahakari Doodh Sangh, a dairy cooperative built on trust, fairness, and rural upliftment. This isn’t just a story about milk—it’s a story of social impact and economic empowerment.

A Legacy Rooted in Rural Empowerment

Founded on the visionary principles of Late Shri Rajarambapu Patil, the Sangh was created not just to collect and semilk—but to provide sustainable income, resources, and recognition to farmers in rural Maharashtra.

Over the years, it has grown into a model cooperative, serving:

• Over 12,000+ farmers

• Multiple districts in Western Maharashtra

• Daily livelihoods for women, youth, and smallholder families

Boosting Farmer Incomes with Fair Prices

In a world where farmers are often underpaid and exploited, Rajarambapu Patil Sangh ensures that:

• Farmers are paid fairly and promptly

• Milk prices are stable, even when market rates fluctuate

• Profit-sharing and bonus schemes reward performance and loyalty

This stable income helps families invest in education, healthcare, and better cattle care—lifting entire communities out of economic uncertainty.

Empowering Women in Agriculture

The cooperative actively encourages women’s participation through self-help groups, training programs, and doorstep collection services. Many women have become independent income earners, leading their households and supporting their children’s future.

“Before the Sangh, we had no voice. Now, I feel respected—for the milk I give, and for the role I play,” – Shobha Tai, farmer and member from Walwa

More Than Milk: Training, Vet Care, and Infrastructure

Rajarambapu Patil Sangh provides:

• Training in animal nutrition, hygiene, and record-keeping

• Free veterinary check-ups and AI services

• On-site testing labs to ensure milk quality

• Investment in chilling centers, cold-chain logistics, and clean packaging

These initiatives not only improve milk quality but also increase cattle health, farmer confidence, and market reach.

Social Development Beyond Dairy

With every litre of milk sold, the cooperative reinvests in rural progress:

• Health camps for farmers and their families

• Best Milk Producer Farmer

• Tree plantation drives and green initiatives

• Infrastructure upgrades in roads, schools, and village facilities

This is cooperative power in action—fueling not just dairy, but development.
