Objective of the Event:
An industrial visit is a part of the educational tour which provides students with an opportunity to learn practically through interaction, working methods, and employment practices.
An industrial visit to Mother Dairy, Patparganj, Delhi, was organized on February 12, 2025, for the students of BBA second year. The students assembled at the JIMS Campus front gate at 7:30 AM and departed for the visit at around 8:00 AM. The students were accompanied by two faculty members.
Upon arrival at Mother Dairy, the visit commenced with the screening of a short film and a presentation that provided deep insights into the journey of the company and its establishment as a successful venture. Ms. Neha Roy was the guide for the industrial visit at Mother Dairy Plant. She delivered a presentation on the company's working operations and vision. She also gave a brief introduction to the White Revolution Movement led by former Prime Minister Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri, which significantly contributed to the growth of milk production in India.
She also demonstrated about the milk processing stages (1. Cleanisation, 2. Homogenisation, 3. Standardization 4. Pasteurization) with the help of PPTs. This was a great way to learn about the milk production process in such a renowned plant and to get exposure about the industrial conditions.
The students also learned about the process of milk collection from cooperative farmers and how it undergoes 23 stringent quality control tests, including checks for adulterants, temperature, taste, fragrance, and weight. They were briefed on how the processed milk is transported using thermally insulated milk tankers, all of which are equipped with wireless GPS systems to send alerts in case of emergency conditions.
Following the presentation and an interactive question-and-answer session, the students were taken on a factory tour. They observed various adulterant tests, the cleaning of milk transport tankers, and the maintenance of large SILO containers, each with a capacity of one lakh litres. Detailed information was provided about the significance of milk consumption, especially for teenagers and the working class, and the composition of different milk varieties such as token, toned, full cream, and skimmed milk, categorized based on fat and SNF (Solid Not Fat) content and their suitability for different age groups. They took the students to a room where fully automatic human-operated cleanser, homogeniser and pasteuriser machines were present. Finally, on the completion of the tour, the appetite was duly taken care with some refreshments.
Learning Outcomes:
Students felt a sense of pride to learn about the Indigenous, local brand that is working with international standards today.
