Aavin has done justice to everyone, says Thangaraj

AAVIN has undergone a major transformation in the past two years through a systematic approach, says Minister for Milk and Dairy Development T Mano Thangaraj.

"We have improved our product quality by enhancing work culture, organisational ethics, skill development, efficiency and more," he notes.

Here is the excerpt from an interview with TNIE:

The functioning of Aavin often evokes memories of government offices in the 1980s, with lack of data, manual operations at dairy plants etc.

I don't want to blame previous governments, but somehow, enough attention had not been paid for industrial automation and digitisation.

To address this, I've ordered to issue of system-generated acknowledgment slips to milksupplying farmers to protect them from being exploited by the societies.

About 50% of the 9,500 milk producers' societies have begun issuing these slips.
