It is aimed at making multi state interventions which are scientifically planned to lay the path for new processes, backed with appropriate policy and regulatory measures, to increase the productivity of milch animals and thereby increase milk production to meet the rapidly growing demand for milk. The project will also seek to increase the access of milk producers to the organised sector for sale of milk. The first phase of the NDSP is to be implemented between October 2011 and September 2017. The various activities proposed in the components/ sub components of the NDSP are such that they are expected to result in social and environmental impacts. To understand these impacts (positive & negative) and to suggest enhancement/ mitigation strategy, as part of preparation of NDSP, a Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment (SESA) was commissioned by National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), through an external agency, M/S ERM India Pvt. Ltd. SESA is also expected to suggest mitigation/ enhancement measures, which could be integrated into the project design wherever feasible. 0.2 PROCESS ADOPTED FOR SESA SESA was based on intensive discussions with the project proponents, review of policies and regulations, baseline study and stakeholder consultations to understand the social and environment issues in the context of the proposed activities under NDSP. The SESA assessed the impacts, both positive and negative, that the project interventions will have on the various stakeholders and social and environmental issues, directly or indirectly. Purposive random sampling was followed for the baseline survey to ensure that social and environmental issues applicable to the project are adequately captured. The survey covered 282 villages across 8 districts in 4 states namely Gujarat, Punjab, Karnataka and Bihar covering
