About the union

Serving the Nilgiris, one village society at a time

The Nilgiris District Co-operative Milk Producers Union Ltd. exists to give farmers across the district a fair, reliable market for their milk — and to give households across Tamil Nadu fresh, honestly-tested dairy in return.

Our mission

Fair returns for farmers, honest quality for families

As a co-operative, the union is owned by the farming community it serves. Every litre procured supports member households across the Nilgiris, while every product leaving the dairy carries the same promise of freshness and quality testing that has defined the Aavin name in Tamil Nadu for decades.
