1 June - World Milk Day Celebration at Sambara Celebrations

  

June 1 – World Milk Day




Why This Day Is Special?

World Milk Day is celebrated on June 1 to recognize the importance of milk as a global food. Established by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations in 2001, this day highlights the role of milk in providing essential nutrients and supporting livelihoods worldwide. In India, where dairy products are a staple in many diets, this day serves as a reminder of the nutritional benefits of milk and the importance of supporting the dairy industry


A Little History

World Milk Day was first designated by the FAO in 2001. June 1 was chosen as the date because many countries were already celebrating a milk day during that time of year. The day provides an opportunity to focus attention on milk and raise awareness of dairy’s part in healthy diets, responsible food production, and supporting livelihoods and communities. This is supported by FAO data showing that more than one billion people's livelihoods are supported by the dairy sector and that dairy is consumed by more than six billion people globally.
