It was initiated as a development project of the Government titled "Co-operative Dairy Complex" with the objective of ensuring fair price for the poor, landless and marginal milk producing farmers of the rural Bangladesh and on the other hand to provide the city dwellers with a regular supply of fresh and hygienic milk and milk products at a reasonable price. The scheme had the proposal of establishing dairy plants in the milk surplus areas already identified as Pabna, Tangail, Manikganj and Faridpur.  The Government started implementation of the programme in it’s First Five Year Plan (1973-78). The plants were to operate through collection of milk by a network of milk producers’ co-operative societies in milk-shed areas. The project envisages the purchase of milk from individual farmer members of the primary milk producers’ societies, twice daily, transport of this milk to rural dairy plants of Tangail, Manikganj and Faridpur by a combination of vrious methods of transportation.
