The ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute (ICAR-NDRI) in Karnal marked World Milk Day 2026 with a vibrant celebration focused on the theme 'Celebrating Women Farmers'. The event brought together dairy farmers, entrepreneurs, students, consumers, scientists, and local residents, fostering a community atmosphere. Notable figures such as MS Chauhan, an esteemed animal scientist, and Dheer Singh, the director of ICAR-NDRI, inaugurated an exhibition that showcased various dairy products, innovative technologies, and entrepreneurial initiatives within the dairy sector. Singh emphasized the pivotal role women play in India's dairy industry, citing the success of the Atulya Nari Shakti Farmer Producer Organization (FPO), which has effectively developed and marketed a range of dairy products, including ghee. Additionally, the event featured free testing of over 50 milk samples for common adulterants, such as water and urea, aimed at enhancing consumer confidence in dairy products and encouraging the production of high-quality milk. This celebration not only recognized women farmers but also highlighted their contributions to sustainable development and livelihood generation in rural areas.
