In India, the major indicators used to assess the dairy sector are the age-old criteria of considering only the total production and per capita availability. Such indicators may not be able to adequately assess the development of the dairy sector. First, the indicators inadequately capture the complete scenario of the dairy sector. Secondly, dairy as a sector has multistake-holder dependency. Different stakeholders want to direct the sector in their perspective which pertains to social, economic or environmental domains. Thirdly, India is a resource-constraint nation, which makes it important for it to judiciously allocate its resources to achieve maximum benefits for which such indicators provide incomplete scenario.

Abstract


In India, the major indicators used to assess the dairy sector are the age-old criteria of considering only the total production and per capita availability. Such indicators may not be able to adequately assess the development of the dairy sector. First, the indicators inadequately capture the complete scenario of the dairy sector. Secondly, dairy as a sector has multistake-holder dependency. Different stakeholders want to direct the sector in their perspective which pertains to social, economic or environmental domains. Thirdly, India is a resource-constraint nation, which makes it important for it to judiciously allocate its resources to achieve maximum benefits for which such indicators provide incomplete scenario.
