 Milk’s Importance and Consumption Disparities

  • Milk is crucial for providing protein, calcium, and other nutrients in Indian diets, especially for children.

  • Research links milk consumption to reduced stunting and underweight in children.

  • However, milk consumption is highly unequal across income groups, regions, and social categories.

  • Top-income households consume 3-4 times more milk than the lowest-income households, with poorer regions and social groups having limited access.

Barriers to Milk Access

  • Affordability is a major barrier, with many households needing to spend a large portion of their income on milk to meet recommended consumption levels.

  • Urban households consume more milk than rural ones, and affluent households often consume more than the recommended amount, leading to concerns about overnutrition and obesity.

  • Vulnerable groups like children, pregnant women, and the elderly in low-income areas need prioritized access to milk.

Strategies to Improve Milk Access for Vulnerable Groups

  • Enhance milk provisions in programs like POSHAN and Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), and increase financial support to ensure better distribution.

  • Innovative Financing: Use social bonds, corporate funding, and increase taxes on unhealthy foods to fund milk access for the vulnerable.

  • In regions with strong dairy networks, milk coupons could lower distribution costs and boost local milk markets.

Awareness and Healthy Consumption

  • Promote milk’s benefits through awareness campaigns targeting women and communities, particularly in rural areas, to improve dietary diversity.

  • Encourage balanced diets and moderation in milk consumption for the affluent to reduce overnutrition and improve milk affordability for those in need.

  • Look at models like the UK’s “Change4Life” campaign, which successfully reduced sugar and fat consumption, as a model for similar initiatives in India.
