KARIMNAGAR, JANUARY 02, 2026: The Karimnagar Milk Producer Company, also known as Karimnagar Dairy, the leading dairy in the Telangana state, which claims to have one lakh farmers as its members, is denying membership to a milk-producing farmer in Ramakrishna colony in Thimmapur mandal on the outskirts of Karimnagar town.
Milk-producing farmer Juvvadi Sagar Rao had been supplying over 100 litres of milk daily to the Karimnagar Milk Producing Company Limited (KMPCL) for over 270 days, but he has been denied membership. He had applied for membership with the KMPCL on several occasions, but the management had denied the membership for ‘obvious’ reasons. The farmers are asking whether the Karimnagar Dairy is confined to having only one lakh farmers, as it claims on its posters and wall writings, and does not accept more farmers for the development of the dairy?
Mr Sagar Rao said that he had appointed a technician from the Karimnagar dairy on his own by providing a salary of Rs 5,000 per month to provide necessary assistance to the dairy unit. However, that technician was also stopped visiting the dairy on his premises. He said that the Karimnagar Dairy is not conducting any veterinary camps for the treatment of milking animals or providing any support for the fodder supply or its production.
What is wrong in providing membership to the KMPCL when I am providing milk to the Karimnagar Dairy for over 270 days, he asked. I am doing other business activities and have taken up the dairy unit also, he said and questioned if it was wrong to take up the dairy unit for an alternate source of income. The Karimnagar Dairy should explain why it is not providing membership to me when I am providing milk to the dairy, he demanded.
