Objective of the Visit
- To provide students practical exposure to the manufacturing processes, operations, and workflow of a large-scale milk processing plant.
- To enable students of commerce and management to observe how theoretical concepts learned in class apply in real industry settings — production, quality control, logistics, and overall operations management.
- To offer opportunities for students to interact with industry professionals, learn about industry best practices, quality standards, and gain insights into possible career paths in the dairy manufacturing sector.
- To bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world industrial operations, preparing students for future managerial roles in manufacturing or supply chain industries.
Industry Overview
Vita Milk Plant is a significant enterprise in the dairy/milk manufacturing sector in Haryana. The plant is reputed for its commitment to high quality standards and modern production practices. The company handles raw milk processing, quality assurance, packaging, and dispatch — catering to domestic market demands (and possibly export, as indicated by its contact points for export queries).
During the visit, we learned that the plant operates under strict hygiene and safety standards. The company’s operational layout includes multiple departments such as production, quality control (QC), and logistics, ensuring end-to-end handling — from raw material intake to the final distribution of packaged milk products.
