Payment Dispute Halts Milk Supply to 5,500 Children in Vadodara Anganwadis
A payment dispute between Vadodara's Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) and Amul halted the supply of fortified Sanjeevani milk to around 5,500 children at 400 anganwadi centres for about a week. The disruption stemmed from delayed bill submissions and exhausted credit balances amid rising milk prices, highlighting challenges in the Doodh Sanjeevani Yojana's supply chain. Officials from both ICDS and Amul acknowledged administrative and financial issues affecting timely milk deliveries.
