World Milk Day is observed annually on June 1 to highlight the importance of milk as a global food source and to promote the dairy industry. Established by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations in 2001, this day aims to raise awareness about the nutritional value of milk and its role in healthy diets. Various events such as campaigns, educational activities, and promotional programs are organized worldwide to emphasize the benefits of milk and dairy products.

In addition to its nutritional significance, World Milk Day also focuses on the sustainability of the dairy industry. It encourages practices that improve milk production while ensuring environmental responsibility. The day serves as a platform for dairy farmers, organizations, and consumers to come together and discuss ways to enhance the industry’s growth and contribution to global food security.
