Military Farms in India were set up to ensure a clean and continuous supply of cows milk to troops located in various garrisons across British India. After Indian independence, the Indian Army continued and expanded the service. The farms spread over 20,000 acres of prime defence land and had over 25,000 cattle. The 39 military farms are spread across India in cities such as Ambala, Kolkata, Srinagar, Agra, Pathankot, Lucknow, Meerut, Allahabad and Guwahati. But recently, after recommendations by the Shekatkar Committee, all military farms were shut in 2017, to cut costs and better utilise thousands of acres of prime defence land.
