Udaipur : Udaipur head quartered Asha Mahila Milk Producer Organization has won the International Dairy Federation’s (IDF) prestigious ‘Dairy Innovation Award’ in Paris. The award was handed over to them for their initiative in sustainable processing of milk.

Lauding Asha Mahila MPO’s innovation, Dr. Meenesh Shah, Chairman NDDB and NDDB Dairy Services who was present on the occasion said, “It is heartening to see women led organization winning a prestigious award. Not only does it augur well for India’s mission for becoming ‘Dairy to the World’, but also strengthens central government’s resolve toward empowering women. Incidentally, this is the second consecutive win by an all women Producer owned enterprise after last year’s win by Shreeja Milk Producer Organization which is based out of Tirupati.”

India’s unique smallholder systemposes significant logistical challenges due to our climate and unreliable electricity supply which impacts quality of milk.This innovative chiller cools 250 litres of milk per hour using a unique thermodynamic design that maximizes heat transfer while minimizing energy consumption. The innovation also supports hygiene and safety standards by using hot water (a byproduct) for cleaning ensuring compliance with food safety regulations while also conserving groundwater. The power is sourced from rooftop solar panels.

In addition to ensuring milk quality it is also promoting sustainable practices by utilizing renewable energy sources and reducing dependence on conventional sources of energy, contributing to India’s climate change commitments.
