Circular Dairy Economy Model in Vav-Tharad

The Vav-Tharad region in Gujarat has emerged as a national model for a circular dairy economy, driven by Banas Dairy—Asia’s largest dairy cooperative with a ₹24,000-crore turnover. On December 6, 2025, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah launched this transformative initiative, aiming to increase dairy farmers’ incomes by 20% within five years.
