Support to Training and Employment Programme (STEP) for Women was launched by the Ministry of Women & Child Development, Government of India, as one of the measures to ensure well being of women in the traditional informal sector in the year 1986 and advocates the objective of extending training for upgradation of skills and sustainable employment for women through a variety of action oriented projects which employ women in large numbers. The Concept : The Programme of STEP aims to make a significant impact by upgrading skills and providing employment to women on a project basis by mobilising women in viable groups, improving skills, arranging for productive assets, creating backward and forward linkages, improving /arranging for support services, providing access to credit and awareness generation programmes in gender sensitization, nutrition education, legal literacy and sensitization of project functionaries. Thus STEP advocates a package of inputs aiming at the integrated development of poor women in traditional sectors. The ultimate endeavour of the project is to develop the group to thrive on a self sustaining basis in the market place with the minimal Governmental support and intervention after the completion of project period. Objectives: To organize exclusive Women Dairy Cooperatives and to take up employment cum income generation activities. To provide need based and extensive training for skill upgradation.

Mobilizing women in formation of Self Help Groups as a tool for income generating activity and for easy access to credit. Provide support services, backward and forward linkages and improving employment conditions of women. Creating awareness through designed programme. Confidence building among women and to generate leadership qualities. KMF & STEP Project : Karnataka Milk Federation(KMF) initiated the STEP Programme in Karnataka from October 1997. Since then, KMF has organized 800 Women Dairy Cooperative Societies(WDCS) in three Phases and in Phase IV converted 250 WDCS organized prior to the advent of STEP into STEP WDCS. In addition to these in the year 2007, the Government of India has approved two more Phases Phase V for organizing of 200 new WDCS and Phase VI for bringing the 200 existing WDCS into the fold of STEP. Thus 1450 WDCS are sanctioned by Government of India(till Jan09 WDCS are 1189) at a total outlay of Rs.3974.64 lakh and has released till January-2009 Rs.2686.10 lakh. Each WDCS gets a grant of approximately Rs.2.50 to 3.00 lakh for establishment, management and for granting interest-free loan for purchasing milch animals. The share of Government of India is 90% and implementing agency i.e. KMF and its Member Milk Unions share is 10%. Target Group : The KMF is implementing STEP Scheme through its 13 Member District Milk Unions. The District Milk Unions form the STEP Core Team which through Bench Mark Survey identifies the Target Group Members that include the marginalized, assetless, wage labourers, women headed households, migrant labourers, tribals and other dispossessed rural women. Thus the beneficiaries in the project will be poor or assetless marginalized women with special focus on SC/ST households, woman headed households and families below poverty line. The main features of the STEP Scheme is Training, Providing margin money conducting Awareness Generation Programme at village level and visit to Amul in Anand,Gujarat. The STEP WDCS also carries out programme for the benefit of rural women, apart from milk procurement, milk marketing and providing technical input for their members Health & Nutrition Programme: To provide intensive knowledge to all the members of the society for welfare of their family members in terms of health and hygiene, balanced food, mother

and child health care, safe drinking water, vaccination, preventive measures for diseases, usage of locally available vegetables, eradication of dogmatic social customs and rituals and prevention of malnutrition, demonstration of infant and young child nutritious food preparation from the locally available materials. 3 to 4 one day shibiras are conducted in each WDCS with a financial assistance of Rs.6,000/- to Rs.8,000/-.

Legal Literacy Programme: Legal Literacy Programme is conducted at village level with the assistance of eminent advocates particularly lady advocates who are taken to the village to impart awareness on rights of women in property, prevention of dowry, authorities to approach in case of domestic violence, harassment etc. The visits are arranged to Courts, Police Stations, Tahsildar Offices and Banks to acquaint themselves regarding the working of these institutions. 3 to 4 one day shibiras were conducted. Gender Sensitization Programme: This programme is conducted to sensitize women members in gender differences and to promote girl child education on par with male child and widow re-marriages. Know-how regarding agencies working for the welfare of women and the financial assistance available from Government agencies is provided to create self-sustaining ability in women folk. 3 to 4 one day shibiras were conducted along with one day shibira for male orientation for the husbands of the women members to sensitize them regarding multifarious problems faced by women and to enlist their cooperation in running institutions managed by women. Amul Visit: The visit to world famous Amul Dairy in Anand, Gujarat is arranged for the Presidents, Directors and Members of the Dairy Cooperatives for emulating the good features from Amul Societies into their societies as it is said "seeing is believing". Margin Money: Margin money of Rs.5,000/- is provided to Target Group Members (earlier it was Rs.3,000/-) for purchasing milch animals to uplift their economic conditions. Financial institutions demand at least 20% of margin money from each beneficiary. The beneficiary is economically weak may not afford to pay margin money. Hence, Rs.5,000/- is provided as an interest-free loan to 15 members in Phase-V & 12 members in Phase-IV which remain as a revolving fund with the dairy cooperatives and enable the society to extend margin

money benefit to rest of the Target Group Members of the WDCS on continuous basis. Thus Rs.60,000 to Rs.75,000/- is provided to each society.

Self-Help Groups: Another important feature of WDCS is promotion of Self-Help Groups(SHG) by its Target Group Members. STEP Programme implementation proposes formation of at least one Self-Help Group. In this way 1375 SHGs are formed with a savings of Rs.475.33 lakhs. The Nandini Self-Help Groups which are centers of empowerment are working for the socio-economic development of rural women. The positive intervention by KMF with the help of Government of India is resulting in slow emergent of movement of rural women, who have seen little beyond their immediate work at home, their farm and the village. The aim is to enhance womens bargaining power as members of the society by increasing their access and control over household and community resources.

ABOUT US-company profile Karnataka Cooperative Milk Producers' Federation Limited (KMF) is the Apex Body in Karnataka representing Dairy Farmers' Co-operatives. It is the second largest dairy co-operative amongst the dairy cooperatives in the country. In South India it stands first in terms of procurement as well as sales. One of the core functions of the Federation is marketing of Milk and Milk Products. The Brand "nandini" is the household name for Pure and Fresh milk and milk products. KMF has 13 Milk Unions throughout the State which procure milk from Primary Dairy Cooperative Societies(DCS) and distribute milk to the consumers in various Towns/Cities/Rural markets in Karnataka. The first ever World Bank funded Dairy Development Program in the country started in Karnataka with the organisation of Village Level Dairy Co-operatives in 1974. The AMUL pattern of dairy co-operatives started functioning in Karnataka from 1974-75 with the financial assistance from World Bank, Operation Flood II & III. The dairy co-operatives were established under the ANAND pattern in a three tier structure with the Village Level Dairy Cooperatives forming the base level, the District Level Milk Unions at the middle level to take care of the procurement, processing and marketing of milk and the Karnataka Milk Federation as the Apex Body to co-ordinate the growth of the sector at the State level.

Coordination of activities among the Unions and developing market for Milk and Milk products is the responsibility of KMF. Marketing Milk in the respective jurisdiction is organized by the respective Milk Unions. Surplus/deficit of liquid milk among the member Milk Unions is monitored by the Federation. While the marketing of all the Milk Products is organized by KMF, both within and outside the State, all the Milk and Milk products are sold under a common brand name NANDINI.

World Bank Study - Observations The World Bank, in its study on the effect of Co-operative dairying in Karnataka, has pointed out that :

The villages with Dairy Co-operative Societies are much better off than those without. The families with dairy cattle are economically better than those without dairy cattle. Women who had no control on the household income have better control in terms of Milk Money. A single commodity ? MILK? has acted as a catalyst in the change in the SocioEconomic impact of the rural economy. There is a positive impact on those at the lower end of the economic ladder both in terms of landholding and caste.

PERSPECTIVE PLAN 2010 After the closure of OF-III project. Government of Karnataka and NDDB signed an MOU during February 2000, for further strengthening the Dairy Development Activities in Karnataka with an outlay of Rs.250 Crores. Consequent to the announcement of new lending terms and conditions by NDDB through an evolution of an action plan - Perspective 2010 to enable the dairy cooperatives to face the challenges of the increased demand for milk and milk products by focusing efforts in the four major thrust areas of

Strengthening the Cooperatives. Enhancing Productivity, Managing Quality and building a National Information Network, plans are under implementation. FUTURE VISION To consolidate the gains of Dairying achieved in the state of Karnataka and with a view to efficiently chill, process and market ever developing and increasing milk procurement with an utmost emphasis on the Quality and in the process conserve the socio-economic interests of rural milk producers, the Govt. of Karnataka through KMF has proposed to undertake several projects with financial and technical support of NDDB for which an MOU was signed between Govt. of Karnataka and NDDB on 10th Nov. 2004.

Heralding economic, social and cultural prosperity in the lives of our milk producer members by promoting vibrant, self-sustaining and holistic cooperative dairy development in Karnataka State Objectives KMF is a Cooperative Apex Body in the State of Karnataka representing organisations of milk producers' and implementing alround dairy development activities to achieve the following objectives:

To ensure assured and remunerative market round the year for the milk produced by the farmer members. To make available quality milk and other premier dairy products to urban consumers. To build & develop village level institutions as cooperative model units to manage the dairy activities. To ensure provision of inputs for milk production, processing facilities and dissemination of know how. To facilitate rural development by providing opportunities for self employment at village level, preventing migration to urban areas,introducing cash economy and opportunity for a sustained income. The philosophy of dairy development is to eliminate middlemen and organise institutions to be owned and managed by the milk producers themselves, employing professionals. To sum it up, every activity of KMF revolves around meeting one basic objective: 'Achieve economies of scale to ensure maximum returns to the milk producers, at the same time facilitate wholesome milk at reasonable price to urban consumers'. Ultimately, the complex network of cooperative organisation should build a bridge between masses of rural producers and millions of urban consumers and in the process achieve a socioeconomic revolution in every hinterland of the State.

Evolution Karnataka Milk Federation which is most popular as KMF, evolved itself as a premier and most profitable dairy farmers' organization in the State of Karnataka. As an agency in 1975 to implement the World Bank Aided Dairy Development Projects,Karnataka Dairy Development Corporation (KDDC) was formed, the company grew itself fast and as it spreads the wings of new found rural economic activity - Dairying all over the State, the genesis of apex cooperative body took the shape of KMF in 1983 encompassing entire State with 13 District Co-operative Milk Unions executing the various parameters of Dairy activity organization of Dairy Co-operatives, Milk Routes, Veterinary Services, Procurement of milk in two shifts of the day, Chilling, Processing of milk, distribution of milk and also establishment of Cattle Feed Plants, Nandini Sperm Station, Liquid Nitrogen Supply, Training Centres - as its main stay. The entire system was reconstructed on the model of now well known `ANAND' pattern dairy cooperative societies. Eight southern districts of Karnataka was considered initially with a target of organizing 1800 Dairy Co-operative Societies, four Milk Unions and processing facilities were set up to the tune of 6.5 lakhs per day by 1984. Under Operation Flood - II &III, project which started in 1984 & 1987 covered the remaining parts of Karnataka. Thirteen milk unions are organized in 175 talukas of all 20 districts then and the field work was extended by organizing more dairy cooperative societies. The processing facilities i.e. chilling centers, milk dairies and powder plants were transferred in phases to the administrative control of respective cooperative milk unions and the activities continued to be implemented by these District Organisations. Additional processing facilities were created & existing facilities augmented every decade with the help of Govt. / Zilla Panchayat and NDDB to handle ever increasing milk procurement without declaring milk holidays. The processing facility as exists at 32.25 lakh liters/day is further strengthened. Organisation Chart

The organization is three tiered on Co-operative principles. A. Dairy Co-operative Societies at grass root level. B.District Co-operative Milk Unions at single / multi district level. C.Milk Federation at State level. All above three are governed by democratically elected board from among the milk producers. Under the direction of elected boards, KMF, various functional Units & Unions are performing the assigned tasks to ensure fulfilment of organisation objectives.

There are at present 20.35 Lakh dairy farmers as primary members including 3.5 Lakhs of SC/ST and 6.6 Lakh woman members. Dairy Co-operatives employ more than 32000 people and 5200 are permanent KMF Units and Unions employees. Indirect employment thro' veterinary services, milk transportation, milk sales etc. activities is to the tune of 52000 people. This sector has also created demand and employment in manufacturers of equipments required by DCS, Dairies, printing and the like.Know More Quality and Food Safety

During the last ten years, the Federation is giving greater emphasis on procuring quality milk from DCSs under the concept of Quality Excellence from Cow to Consumer. Many Clean Milk Production (CMP) initiatives have been implemented at all the stages of procurement, processing and marketing. Among these CMP initiatives, noteworthy initiative is the setting up of Community Milking Parlours in villages.

The KMF is forerunner to introduce this innovative technological initiative for bringing about revolutionary improvement in quality of milk collected in DCSs. This system has several advantages such as elimination of mastitis in milch animals and improvement of productivity. The milk from milking machines, collected through Automatic Computerized Milk Collection Units is chilled directly in Bulk Milk Coolers. This chilled raw milk, untouched and unadulterated by human hands, has very high microbiological quality, comparable to international standards. This high quality milk is being utilized for manufacturing high quality value added milk products, for both domestic as well as international markets.

Other Clean Milk Production (CMP) Initiatives include:

Training of milk producers on modern dairy husbandry practices and CMP. Providing SS utensils, antiseptic solutions for udder cleaning on pre and post milking, etc. to producers. Training to DCS staff and officers of the Unions on CMP. Replacing Aluminium milk cans and collection vessels with SS 304. Posters, documentary films and booklets on Clean Milk Production.
