A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF TECHNOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS AND TRENDS IN INDIAN DAIRY FARMING

Abstract

Indian dairy producers are smallholder farmers apart from the security of national nutrition, this is crucial for rural people's way of life as most. Mostly resulting from several technical developments meant to increase output, efficiency, and sustainability, the sector only recently underwent a major transformation. Covering precision dairy farming, automation (Dairy 4.0), artificial intelligence, machine learning, genetic enhancement, and innovation targeted on women, infrastructure improvements, and climate resilience, this review gives a whole summary of the most recent technical developments in Indian dairy farming. Scholarly literature and peer-reviewed studies in the paper show how long-standing issues including low milk output, disease outbreaks, inadequate supply networks, and gender inequality are being resolved by these technologies. The paper also underlines among other things infrastructure constraints smallholders have in using technology, digital literacy, and cost. This study intends to provide a plan for equitable and sustainable development in the Indian dairy industry combining modern technologies with traditional knowledge. Maintaining India's leadership position in dairy output, strategic investment, stakeholder participation, and inclusive policy frameworks helps India to concurrently advance environmental stewardship and economic empowerment.
