Abstract

Dairy cooperatives play a significant role in enhancing the socio-economic status of farmers in Rajasthan by providing them with stable income opportunities and improved market access. This study critically examines the impact of dairy cooperatives on farmers' income and their overall well-being. The research investigates the mechanisms through which dairy cooperatives support farmers, such as better pricing, access to veterinary services, and the provision of financial support. The study employs both primary and secondary data to analyze the income variations of farmers associated with dairy cooperatives compared to those who are not. The findings suggest that membership in dairy cooperatives significantly enhances income levels and economic stability, leading to improved social conditions for the farming community. The paper concludes with recommendations for enhancing the efficiency and reach of dairy cooperatives in Rajasthan.
