The objective of the department is to impart theoretical and practical knowledge
of dairy business-related activities such as accounting, financial management, economic
concepts and marketing management. In addition to this basic objective, the department
is also aimed at providing training to maintain the books of accounts in the dairy
industry.
B.Tech. (Dairy Technology) students are taught about the basic aspects of financial
management and various sources and applications of funds in the organization. Despite
this, the students are guided on how to use the techniques of capital budgeting
in the acquisition of long-term projects in a detailed manner. The students are
also informed how to record the transactions like purchase of milk, the sale of
the dairy product, how to ascertain the profit or loss, how to study the inflow
and outflow of cash, the factors influencing the working capital requirements, how
to fix the price of the product produced etc. The students are given an opportunity
to expose their potentials on their communication skills. In addition to these basic
business-related activities, the department also offers courses in dairy extension,
industrial statistics, and dairy production management. The department also provides
an IT training to the students along with the application of OR in the decision-making
process.
