♤ The DISK application targeted at the booming dairy sector has been tested for two milk collection societies by the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad’s e-governance center.

♤ The project consists of two basic components—an application running at the rural milk collection society that could be provided Internet connectivity and a portal at the district level serving transactional and information needs of all members.

♤ DISK has helped in the automation of the milk buying process at 2,500 rural milk collection societies and has been tested in two co-operative villages of Amul dairy in Kheda district.

♤ Software called AkashGanga has been developed with special features to enable speedier collection of milk and faster disbursement of payments to dairy farmers.
