Malabar Milma Proposes Job Priority for Dairy Farmers’ Children: Significant Reform Under Evaluation
Malabar Milma, a prominent dairy cooperative in Kerala, is considering a significant reform that involves giving preference to the children and dependents of dairy farmers in recruitment processes. The proposal, which will be applied to all vacancies from the Managing Director and below, aims to support the families of those who contribute to the success of the dairy cooperative.
Under this proposed decision, children and dependents of dairy farmers will receive weightage marks in competitive exams during the recruitment process. The decision has already been approved by the general meeting of Malabar Milma and is currently under consideration by the government. The Dairy Development Department is examining the legal aspects before finalizing the decision.
Historically, Malabar Milma did not provide such preferences for the children of dairy farmers, although reservations were available for employees of dairy cooperative societies. The management committee of Malabar Milma advocates for this reform, emphasizing the significant contributions of dairy farmers to the cooperative’s growth and success.
If implemented, this decision is expected to set a precedent for other regional unions, including Ernakulam and Thiruvananthapuram. While children of dairy farmers in Malabar Milma already receive preference for temporary jobs such as plant attendants, the proposed reform aims to extend this priority to various posts within the organization.
It is important to note that the proposed reform does not compromise the educational qualifications required for each post. Candidates will still be evaluated based on their ability, professionalism, and performance in written tests. The weightage of five marks for the children of dairy farmers aims to provide additional support and opportunities for these individuals in the employment sector. The final decision is expected to be made within the next two months, following a thorough examination by the Dairy Development Department.
