[SUMMARY]The purpose of this study is to adjust and consider the development process and regional characteristics of dairy farming in India. Bos primigenius indicus known as Zebu originating in the Indian Subcontinent adapted to withstanding high temperature and humidity, but had a quite low productivity of milk. Government of India promoted to increase productivity of milk by genetic improvement of cattle and buffalo. In specific, cross-breeding for Indo-European hybrid, line breeding for Zebu cattle and diffusion of AI (Artificial Insemination) technology. Government of India establishes a framework of dairy promoting program and support core bases for genetic improvement. It is expected that more dramatic changes will occur in the near future.
