The development by the Pradeshi Cooperative Dairy Federation Limited, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India of a project to implement family planning, maternal and child health care and women-centred development projects is assessed. The regular daily operation of the village dairy cooperative societies (DCS) provided a mechanism through which the project could be operated. The project was implemented in two areas, Meerut and Sitapur, with 43 and 22 DCS respectively. The funding, aims, and organization of the project are examined. It is concluded that the professional business relationships that were already established through the DCS made the uptake of contraception and mother and child health schemes far greater than many other projects have achieved.
