Operation Flood:  Development or Dependence?

by Centre for Education & Documentation, April 1982.

 

In this study we are concerned with the implications of Operation Flood, a dairy development project based on foreign funds and the capital raised from sales of imported butter oil and skimmed milk powder gifted by surplus stock with the European Economic Community. The study concentrates on evaluating the performance of OF and examining whether it will help in making India self-sufficient in dairying or if it will pull the country further into the vortex of aided development that stems from the developed world and threatens to engulf the Third World.
