SPCDF has been established with the visionary objective of replicating the proven and celebrated Amul Co-operative Model on a national scale. Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd. (GCMMF – Amul), the world-renowned dairy co-operative and India’s largest food brand, is the Chief Promoter of SPCDF. This heritage and institutional backing lend SPCDF unparalleled credibility, expertise, and direction.
Under the guidance of the Hon’ble Union Home and Co-operation Minister, Government of India, Sardar Patel Co-operative Dairy Federation Limited (SPCDF) has been duly registered under the Multi-State Co-operative Societies Act, 2002 (Registration No. MSCS/CR/1637/2025, dated 3rd July 2025).
SPCDF offers dairy farmers and Village Co-operative Societies (VCS) a unique opportunity to be part of a national movement that puts the farmer at the centre. Here are the compelling reasons to join:
SPCDF is built on the same three-tier co-operative structure that transformed India from a milk-deficient nation to the world’s largest milk producer. By joining SPCDF, members become part of a system that has already proven its ability to uplift millions of dairy farmers across India over seven decades.
Village Co-operative Societies (VCS) registered under the respective State Co-operative Societies Acts form the primary membership of SPCDF. These VCS function exclusively at the village level, ensuring that the benefits reach farmers directly at the grassroots, without intermediaries. Farmers in states such as West Bengal will have local co-operatives that are directly connected to a national federation.
Members benefit from a structured and reliable milk procurement system through their Village Co-operative Societies. SPCDF’s key commitments to its members include:
Membership gives farmers access to a wide range of input services through their VCS, including:
SPCDF is committed to empowering its members through knowledge and skill development:
One of the most significant advantages of membership is representation. Member VCS gain a democratic voice and representation in SPCDF at the national level. This means that the concerns, needs, and aspirations of local dairy farmers in every state are represented in the governance of a national co-operative federation – ensuring policies and decisions reflect the ground reality.
