The Bathinda Distinct. Cooperative. Milk Producers' Union Ltd. was born with two goals: to provide a milk market for milk producers in the district in its footsteps, adding value and providing quality products to consumers at reasonable prices. Milk Union was registered under the Cooperative Societies Act on 22-03-1978 (Reg.1847). Prior to the existence of Bathinda Milk Union, Milk Plant, Bathinda, which was commissioned in September 1974 with a total outlay of Rs. 1.60 crores was owned by Punjab Dairy Development Corporation. But in 1980, the Punjab Government decided to cover this Union under Operation Flood-I Program. In this way, the dairy plant was delivered to the Union de la Leche on March 1, 1980 to execute it in cooperative lines.
