About the College
India's position as the world's leading milk producer since 1998 underscores the significance of the dairy sector in its agricultural economy, with a steady growth rate of 4 to 5% per annum. The dairy industry presently has approximately 700 processing units, vital for both food security and employment generation. Roughly 70% of milk production occurs in the unorganized sector, while cooperatives and private dairies account for the remaining 30%.
Keeping in view the need for skilled dairy professionals, the Government of Uttar Pradesh and DUVASU established the College of Dairy Science on its Mathura campus from the academic year 2024-25, as per the recommendations of the Vth Deans’ Committee Report of ICAR.
