Aavin vouches for purity of its milk

Though the Tamil Nadu Milk Dealers Welfare Association has expressed concern over the health of the citizens in the wake of the Centre’s submission on adulterated milk, the state government owned Aavin has asserted that it is providing 100 per cent hygienic and pure pasteurised milk to consumers.

“The milk and all our products are clean and there is no scope for adulteration at any stage as the Tamil Nadu Co-operative Milk Producers’ Federa­tion Ltd (familiarly known as Aavin) procures milk in a scientific way,” a senior Aavin official said.

Apart from educating the milk producers’ societies on rearing cows, Aavin strictly conducts 19 types of tests to ascertain the quality of the milk.

Milk obtained from the societies, if found substandard, face rejection. “Since we strive to live up to our motto: No profit, no loss, Aavin does not compromise on quality.

Even the pricing is within the reach of common man,” the official maintains.

However, the Tamil Nadu Milk Dealers Welfare Asso­c­iation has called upon the state government to immediately constitute an expert committee at state level and tighten the noose on “ad­u­lterators.”

“Next to me­dicine, milk is considered as life saving food and this precious commodity should be supplied in a wholesome manner,” says S.A. Ponnusamy, state pre­sident of the association, citing the Centre’s submission before the Supreme Court.

Although, the private producers do not permit public to view their dairy activities, Aavin conducts educative trips to its dairies for the benefit of school and college students.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
