SGIDT Department of Dairy Engineering

Department of Dairy Engineering

About


As a component of Rajendra Agricultural University, Pusa, a state agricultural institution, the department of Dairy Engineering was established in 1981. Dr. M. D. Singh served as the department’s first head and makes the department functional for UG teaching. The core of the B. Tech. Dairy Technology course is the Dairy Engineering, which deals with fundamental concepts, simulation/modeling, and equipment design for diverse milk and milk product manufacturing processes. The development of machinery and equipment as well as the production of a wide variety of milk and milk products are both possible in it. The goals of the department include conducting teaching, research, and extension in the areas of energy conservation and dairy and food process engineering. Additionally, the department creates the engineering databases needed for the design of dairy process equipment and instrumentation. It aids in the mechanization of the dairy production process in India. Along with providing instruction and in-plant training for UG and PG students, the dairy engineering department designs and develops tools and equipment to fulfill industry needs. Participate in technical training, consulting, and technology transfer to businesses, industries, etc.The department is also involved in advancing science, technology, and innovation to provide businesspeople, stakeholder groups, and farmers with the most modern machinery and equipment for processing, value addition, energy conservation, and environmentally friendly technologies. Future plans for the department include the start of M. Tech. and Ph. D. programmes in dairy engineering as well as entrepreneurial training for degree-holding students. In order to make our organization/institution a centre of excellence with consistent dedication from all of the faculty and employees to meet the objectives of our institute, the department plans to use artificial intelligence in the dairy and food industries in the future.
