This dissertation approaches the question of successful dairy development in India in terms of the complex construction of the local. Successful dairy development is usually viewed as the work of the development program, attributed to funding provided by international development agencies, and to the expertise of managers and technologists in official dairy bodies. But given that dairy development in India is organized around village-level cooperatives, local work is a significant part of dairy development, both in terms of political strategies which enable the establishment of cooperatives, and agrarian resources that underpin participation in dairying.

520 $a This dissertation approaches the question of successful dairy development in India in terms of the complex construction of the local. Successful dairy development is usually viewed as the work of the development program, attributed to funding provided by international development agencies, and to the expertise of managers and technologists in official dairy bodies. But given that dairy development in India is organized around village-level cooperatives, local work is a significant part of dairy development, both in terms of political strategies which enable the establishment of cooperatives, and agrarian resources that underpin participation in dairying.
520 $a This dissertation compares the village of Mahdol, in Anand district, Gujarat, where dairy development has been especially successful, with the village of Saundara, in West Nimar district, Madhya Pradesh, where dairy development has not attained similar success. It traces the local work of dairy development to the: (i) alignment of the politics of the dairy cooperative with the wider politics of the village, (ii) fitting of technologies of dairy development into the pursuit of agrarian livelihoods, and (iii) interrelatedness between notions of women's work and availability of labor for dairying. In the process, it identifies two kinds of power differences embedded in notions of success. For the dairy program, it is adoption of technologies of dairying that primarily demonstrates success, even as the village links the value of dairy development to its ability to complement existing agrarian livelihoods. In addition, since participation in dairying varies in terms of class, gender, and caste, the local work of dairy development is linked to local inequalities, which implies that a uniform perspective on the success of dairy development is absent in the village.
520 $a Given that India's dairy sector is poised to face the brunt of economic liberalization, it becomes especially significant to approach successful dairy development as a contextual and contested category. Such an analysis highlights the significance of dairy development for local agrarian livelihoods, and draws attention to struggles against inequalities that form the basis of the agrarian economy.
