HISTORY
After independence, in response to the then economic policies, which emphasized local
production, Nestle formed a company in India, namely Nestle India Ltd, and set up its
first factory in 1961 at Moga, Punjab, where the Government wanted Nestle to develop
the milk economy.
In Moga, Nestle educated and advised farmers regarding basic farming and animal
husbandry practices such as increasing the milk yield of the cows through improved
dairy farming methods, irrigation, scientific crop management practices etc. Nestle set
up milk collection centres that ensured prompt collection and paid fair prices. Thus,
Nestle transformed Moga into a prosperous and vibrant milk district.
