The Defence Colony being a residential community they carry charming characteristics such as outdoor vendors for veggies, fruits and what is called a DMS store. The Delhi Milk Scheme is a subsidiary of the Ministry of Agriculture, Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries. Commissioned 56 years ago in 1959 its mission is to 'supply wholesome milk to the citizens of Delhi at reasonable price as well as to provide renumerative prices to the milk producers' ... whatever that means. It is rather an extraordinary public vehicle considering cows are sacrosanct in India. Even more noteworthy is as a Government owned and managed entity the DMS has only made its 2nd profit in May 2015 or 5+ decades since its charter .. to the tune of 6.65 'crore' which is a unit of 10 million Rs. I guess making money is low on the list of objectives, if at all. In addition to a range of dairy products a DMS would carry local brands one finds in a rustic local Mom & Pop store ... it is quite an eye opener.
