Daily all of us have our share of milk, be it fresh or in tea or coffee. We cannot do away with this milk. But have you ever considered how all this happens ? Tyhe Dairy supply chain is one of the most difficult and cumbersome supply chain in that it involves many people, particularly if the daily is in the cooperative sector. How complex the dairy supply chain is to collect milk from the farmers, homogenise it and bring it to the collection centre and then to the Dairy circle plant for further pasteurisation, packing and distribution to the outlet points around Bangalore. Along with Major Druv and Prof. Sajan Mathew, we made a visit to Nandini Dairy plant in Dairy ciecle this afternoon. Dhruv is doing his EPGDM project over there.
The entire supply chain was explained to us well by the Asst manager (production) Kavitha. We were also taken to the control room from where we could control all operations in the plant, right from receiving milk to pasteurisation, packing, shipping etc.
The plant is maintained at high levels of cleanliness and hygiene. The butter pant, the chiller, the screw conveyor through which the butter reaches the packing area, all were a treat to the eyes and mind.
This is the second most advanced dairy processing plabnt in the country after the Amul plant in Anand, Gujarat.
