'In addition to providing a comprehensive review of the historical evolution of dairying and dairy policy in India, the book focuses attention on three major issues; the dependency syndrome, the replicability issue, and the equity impact of OF.' - Economic and Political Weekly 'An attempt has been made in this book to analyse the role of donor organisations in the developmental programmes.this book is a useful addition to the literature on developmental programmes, particularly those based on external aid.' - iimb Management Review 'For those wanting to know more about the 'milky way' there is a wealth of information in these two volumes on Indian dairying.Tracing its European origins, the studies highlight how food aid could promote development and, in this process, also probe the question of domestic milk supply and external dependence.the two studies have stimulated a sharpened focus on the origins and impact of Operation Flood and helped understand the socio-economic, technological and institutional aspects of India's dairy development.' - Indian Express 'Overall, the two volumes [also Doornbos: Resources, Institutions and Strategies ] provide a rich sense of the problematic of what is in many ways a most impressive developmental programme: successful in terms of its own explicit objectives, excepting only that elusive enterprise of organizing equity. Taken together, the volumes offer a rich case study of internationally supported development programmes that could find a useful place in many postgraduate development courses, as well as being required reading for researchers interested in Indian developmental policy and food aid more generally.
