Advanced Approach for Manufacturing of Milk Products

A one-day national seminar on the topic of advanced approach for manufacturing healthy and clean milk products was jointly organized by the Department of Agriculture Science, Home Science and Bio Science of Shri Ram College. The seminar was inaugurated by Chief Guest Dr. Savita Arya, Senior Scientist Home Science K.V.K. Baghra, Special Guest Dr. Deepak Sharma, Scientist Dairy Science K.V.K. Baghra, Principal of Shri Ram College Dr. Prerna Mittal, Director of Shri Ram College Dr. Ashok Kumar, Dean Academic Dr. Vineet Sharma, Director Shri Ram College of Pharmacy Dr. Girendra Gautam, Head of Bioscience Department Dr. Vipin Saini, Head of Home Science Department Dr. Shweta Rathi and Head of Agriculture Department Dr. Naeem by jointly lighting the lamp.

On this occasion, Chief Guest Dr. Savita Arya, Senior Scientist Home Science K.V.K. Baghra, in her address said that milk is considered a complete diet. Because milk contains all the elements that provide essential nutrition to the body. That is why all the nutrients are obtained by feeding milk to the baby. Milk is an essential diet from newborn to old age. Milk is a powerful source of calcium and potassium which strengthens bones and teeth. Also, lactose sugar in milk acts as an instant energy source while the spectrum of vitamins and minerals including vitamin B promotes healthy functioning of the nervous system. Milk plays an important role in keeping the brain and body healthy. On this occasion, Dr. Deepak Sharma, Scientist Dairy Science K.V.K. Baghra told how dangerous the consumption of adulterated milk can be for our body. If we consume adulterated milk, it has a serious impact on our health. Adulteration like water, urea etc. reduces the nutrition of milk. Regular consumption of adulterated milk can cause digestive problems, food poisoning and long-term health problems. It has a greater impact on children and elderly people. Therefore, we should stay away from consuming adulterated milk. We should buy milk from reliable sources only.

On this occasion, Dr. Ashok Kumar, Director of Shriram College, said in his address that National Milk Day is celebrated every year on 26 November, the credit for which goes to Dr. Verghese Kurien. Dr. Verghese Kurien contributed a lot to increase milk production and promote dairy. Therefore, Dr. Verghese Kurien is also called Milkman All India. In collaboration with the National Dairy Development Board, the Indian Dairy Association and 22 state level milk federations decided to celebrate Dr. Verghese Kurien's birthday as Milk Day in 2014.
