History of Student training dairy

5,000 LPD.
It is situated inside the premises of Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and
Sciences (SHIATS) under Warner School of Food and Dairy Technology (WSFDT) to provide
training opportunities to students of WSFDT as well as other departments.
The area covered by the plant is 500m

During 1965 – 1975, it was handling 5,000 litres of milk daily i.e. its full capacity.
In 1992, it was named as AGGIES, a unit of SHIATS.
The initial structure of student training dairy comprises of one manager, two supervisor, ten
workers.
Now a day, the training dairy is handling 500 litres of milk per day. A number of products like
market milk, ghee, sweet curd, plain curd, flavoured milk, paneer, ice lollies, softy, lassi etc are
