The visit to the dairy will give a good idea of its functioning including various processes before milk in sachets reach retail outlets. Visitors will be able to see how milk, collected from milk producers’ cooperative societies, is pasteurised and sterilized at the dairy and how the consumable milk is filled in packets using advanced technology and machinery.

The visitors will also be taken through the manufacturing process of Milma’s other products like ghee, paneer and butter milk. They can also buy Milma products at discounted rates on these days.
