Mother Dairy milk (bulk vended) is fortified with vitamin A with 2000 IU per litre as social accountability. This program started with the Mother Dairy, Delhi, in February 1980. Thereafter the dairy continues this program on their own without having any financial assistance from the government since it is felt that BVM is generally consumed by the middle/lower middle/poor population. It is found that the dietary practices adopted by these classes are deficient in Vitamin A. Mother Dairy sources significant part of its requirement of liquid milk from dairy cooperatives.
Mother Dairy sources fruits and vegetables from farmers and growers associations. They contribute to the cause of oilseeds grower cooperatives that manufacture and pack the Dhara range of edible oils by undertaking to nationally market all Dhara products.
