in India”

SUGGESTED PROGRAMME
19th September, 2014 (First Day)
0900 – 1100 hrs Registration
1000 – 1130 hrs Inaugural
Session
Milk is often regarded as being nature’s most
nearly complete food. It earns this reputation as it provides most of the
nutrients which are essential for growth of human body. However, like many
other developing countries, in India milk is produced by smallholders and
setting up an efficient, hygienic and economic dairy chain is a serious
challenge apart from meeting the expected demand of 200 million tonnes by 2021-22. To achieve the qualitative
and quantitative targets collective efforts by the Government, Cooperative and
Private sector are required.
The Inaugural Session
will set the context of the seminar, focussing on the current efforts being
made by various stakeholders and challenges being faced by them in positioning
dairy sector as a major source of nutrition in the country.
