The Primary Milk Society is the foundation of the
Cooperative structure. The efficiency of the movement solely lies in the strength of these
Societies. Primary Milk Societies are organised at the rate of one society per village.
The purpose of such a society is to promote the economic interests of its members by
improving quality, and increasing quantity of milk production per buffalo or cow and to
provide necessary guidance and assistance to its members and supply milk to the Milk
Unions. These societies also supply cattle feed etc. to their members with a view to
enhaning milk production. The Managing Committee of the Society comprises members elected
by those members who are eligible to participate and vote in the General Body Meeting.
