Excited to share an infographic showcasing milk cooperative societies from different states of India!
๐ค Wondering what a milk cooperative is? Milk cooperatives are organizations owned and operated by farmers, who work together to process, market, and distribute their dairy products. They play a pivotal role in empowering farmers and ensuring fair prices for their produce. ๐
Not many know but Amul is Gujarat's milk cooperative that probably is the most recognisable brand nationally. Followed by Mother Dairy from Delhi. #Amul#GujaratDairy ๐ฎ
Omfed, Odisha's pride! This cooperative plays a vital role in providing a wide range of quality dairy products, just as Purabi in Assam and Saras in Rajasthan. The packet of Sanchi and Devbhog feature maps of their states MP and Chhattisgarh respectively.
An interesting rivalry has emerged between Milma (Kerala) and Nandini (Karnataka). Milma has expressed concern over the selling of Nandini milk in Kerala calling it highly unethical that could harm farmers' interests.
Kerala says it's crucial to maintain the cooperative principles and spirit that have nurtured India's dairy sector for years.
Maharashtra is home to several milk cooperatives, making it a dairy hub in India. These cooperatives contribute significantly to the state's economy and support local farmers. #MaharashtraMilk ๐
๐ On the other hand, Northeast India has fewer milk cooperatives, mainly due to lower milk consumption in the region. However, this opens up opportunities for future growth and expansion in the dairy industry. #NortheastIndiaDairy ๐ฑ
๐ญ It's fascinating to see how milk cooperatives across India cater to diverse tastes and preferences. Let's continue supporting these organizations, which form the backbone of our nation's dairy industry! ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐
Might we add that West Bengal's cooperative Benmilk possibly has the worst website on all of the internet.
In a few countries, mostly Muslim nations - homosexuality is still punishable by death. These countries include Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Sudan, and parts of Nigeria and Somalia. This world has a long way to go for LGBTQIA+ rights.
Sadly, life imprisonment is still a reality for LGBTQIA+ individuals in some places, mostly in Africa. Uganda and Tanzania are examples of countries where being LGBTQIA+ can lead to life imprisonment.
Most teachings about Godโs personality refer to Him as the Supreme Being. It is difficult to feel related to such a personality.
In the Hindu philosophy, your relationship with your God is a personal path in which you are free to personalise, experiment and improvise.
Presenting here are the 5 standard types of love that devotees generally tend to have for Krishna, these are - Shanta, Dasya, Sakhya, Vatsalya, and Madhurya. Each path has its own special quality of intimacy.
Shanta bhakti is a peaceful and tranquil form of devotion. It is characterized by deep inner peace and quiet contemplation, where the devotee seeks spiritual enlightenment through meditation and reflection. The attachment in this path is not intense, it is the beginning of bhakti
I love the fact that programmers work so hard to make themselves redundant.
I built a 100k YouTube channel with bar chart racing videos, 1 year later, open sourced the code.
Made a 100k Twitter page with maps about India, 2 years later, I've given the power to everyone.
All artists I admire take the road nobody else does. They find a dense forest, tame the animals, light a fire, build a tent, grow some crips and then invite society to come join them.
It's almost like artists need to do the hard work and suffer the pain themselves so that nobody else has to.
Tools like iipmaps will not somehow automate data visualization. If anything they will only open more avenues by making the field more accessible to more people. Canva did not make graphic design redundant, it made it more democratic.
At the core of iipmaps is a determination to empower the people and businesses of India to tell our own stories with the same finesse that only a few privileged organisations in the West have enjoyed so far.
Until we write our own story, the world is more than willing to do it for us, and often without our consent. We need to change this.
