Established in 1977, the Rajasthan Cooperative Dairy Federation Ltd. (RCDF) serves as the implementing agency for dairy development programs in Rajasthan. As a state-level apex cooperative organization, RCDF is collectively owned by its member unions. Each member union, in turn, is owned by the dairy cooperative societies within its operational jurisdiction. These cooperative societies, crucial components of the federation's structure, are themselves owned by farmer members. This cooperative model ensures a hierarchical and participatory approach, with farmer members actively contributing to and benefiting from the dairy development initiatives facilitated by RCDF in the state of Rajasthan.
