In 2005, Mr. C.P Agarwal, who was leading C.P Milk and Food Products, bought over a small dairy unit along with its brand name 'Gyan'. This small dairy unit was refurbished to create Gyan Dairy, which is now the largest dairy manufacturer in Eastern Uttar Pradesh.

Farmers
When Gyan Dairy was founded, there was a scarcity of milk in Eastern Uttar Pradesh. Before the company began manufacturing, they created a cooperative system of dairy farming, starting with their home district of Farrukhabad. A team was set up for expanding their village base and Gyan Dairy has since grown significantly. The cooperative system that has been set up by Gyan Dairy, encourages farmers to take up dairy farming. Now, Gyan Diary has 1700 village level collection centers, and collects about a million liters of milk every day from 65,000 farmers spread across 6 districts in Uttar Pradesh and districts adjoining Lucknow. Gyan Dairy has taken a low milk productivity belt and transformed it into high milk producing one.

Gyan Dairy has also set up Gyan Choupals where they conduct door to door visits to their farmers with veterinary doctors and extension officers. They also provide various services and facilities such as balanced cattle feed, fodder seeds, artificial insemination through semen obtained from pedigreed bulls, area specific mineral mixture, deworming, vaccination, as well as loans and insurance in liaison with the Uttar Pradesh Livestock Development Board, and other clinical advisory services.
