Milk is called nature's most nearly perfect food.

 

People around the world generally consume the milk of cows, goats, water buffalo, llamas, reindeer, horses, sheep, camels, and yaks.

 

Cow milk represents 85%, buffalo milk 11.0%, Goat milk 3.4%, Sheep milk 1.4%, Camel milk 0.2% of the world's total annual milk supply.

 

World milk day is celebrated on 1st June in entire world.

 

In India National Milk Day is celebrated on November 26 which is the birthday of Dr. Verghese Kurien - the father of White Revolution (including operation Flood) in India.

 

Operation Flood, launched in 1970 is a project of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), which was the world's biggest dairy development program that made India a milk-sufficient nation and the largest milk producer in the world.

 

India is the largest producer of milk. The annual milk production in India in the year 2012–13 was around 132 million tons. While total milk production in the world is 767 million tons in 2012. So, the country’s share in world milk production stands at 17 per cent.

 

India (66 million tonnes) and Pakistan (23.6 million tonnes) produce more than 90% of the total volume of buffalo milk in the world (as per year 2012).

 

India is also the second largest producer of cow milk (54 million metric tons) followed by USA.

 

Uttar Pradesh is the highest milk producing state in India (2012-13) producing 23.33 million tonnes of milk.

 

Punjab has the highest milk per capita availability in India (2012-13) which is 945 grams per day.
