ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-III (agriculture, animal husbandry, cooperatives) and GS-I/II (women's empowerment). Issue: women form the majority of KMF suppliers, yet farmers say procurement, animal health and breeding support are inadequate. Policy: the Amul-style three-tier cooperative model with village-level investment in vaccination, AI and breed improvement. Way forward: price support, women-led village societies and stronger veterinary services.
