DOWNLOAD EBOOKIndia's cooperative dairying program is widely celebrated as an example of successful rural development, yet the meanings of this success have been understood mainly through the pronouncements of national and international development agencies. Within such official narratives, there has been relatively little engagement with the geographies of dairy development, both its place-specific productions through political contests, availabilities of labor, and distributions of agricultural resources, and the unevenness of its outcomes across rural India. This absence is even more surprising given that village-level cooperatives comprise the foundation of India's dairy development program, and the work of women within rural households is continuously invoked as an integral part of the dairy work. This book extends and enriches current understandings of cooperative dairying in India to show both its value to rural communities as well as the limitations of its participatory structures. Combining comparative and ethnographic approaches, explanations for the diverse outcomes of cooperative dairying are provided from the perspective of the people and places directly involved in the everyday reproductions of rural development. This book contributes to existing understandings of rural development and rural geographies in four significant ways. First, by following histories of development from their local origins to their national and international appearances, the global genealogies that are usually attached to development are rendered more complex. Second, by connecting cooperatives to place, the ways in which participation in development reflects local struggles for power and, hence, are structured through local inequalities, is revealed. Third, by linking dairying and agriculture, the continuing importance of resource distributions in shaping the outcomes of rural development is highlighted. Finally, the crucial role of household divisions of labor in the success of village dairy cooperatives is explicated through showing how struggles over the meanings of rural women's work become key to enabling household-level participation in dairying. This book will be of interest to scholars in a wide range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields, including geography, sociology, anthropology, rural studies, development studies, gender studies, and regional studies of India.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCooperatives are the aggregates of economic units, such as farms. The cooperative is neither a horizontal integration of its member-farms nor a vertical integration between member-farms and the cooperative, but rather a third mode of organizing coordination. Cooperatives are owned, controlled, financed, and used by members for mutual benefits, with service at cost and proportionality being two basic principles. Farmers organize marketing cooperatives to access markets, exercise countervailing power vis-àvis other market participants, promote competition, and thus enhance market efficiency. Cooperation as practiced by dairy farmers in marketing milk is an enduring business model that is in full accord with the economic theory of what cooperatives are and what cooperatives do. Members supply equity capital needed for the cooperative to carry out its core business of marketing members' milk. Capital financing, in general, is not a contentious issue for dairy cooperatives.

Members supply equity capital needed for the cooperative to carry out its core business of marketing members' milk. Capital financing, in general, is not a contentious issue for dairy cooperatives. For other cooperatives that have difficulties in raising capital from members, the issue is really a reflection of a certain gap between member purposes and cooperative functions. The solution lies in assessing what members want the cooperative to do and how much they are willing to finance it; the cooperative should operate accordingly for members' best interests. Social entrepreneurs have renewed interests in adopting cooperatives as an economic development tool to empower people to work toward their own economic destiny. Over the long term, cooperatives must be self-sustainable in order to be economically viable.
