Fifty farmers who have joined the PDDC Model Farm Program, representing all the dairying regions of Pakistan, have been selected for the study. This study has shown the impact of the Model Farm Program on the lives of PDDC model farmers and their families. The impact was measured in terms of progress in productivity, profitability, decision making, confidence in the dairy industry, and inclination towards positive change.
