About Organisers

Indian Dairy Association (IDA): Indian Dairy Association (IDA), the apex body of the dairy industry in India, stands at the forefront of unifying and empowering the dairy sector. Representing a diverse membership base that spans cooperatives, multinational companies, corporate entities, private and educational institutions, as well as government and public sector units, IDA serves as a vital link between dairy producers, professionals, scientists, planners, and educationists. With a legacy spanning nearly six decades, IDA has been led by several visionary leaders, including iconic names such as Dr. V. Kurien, Dr. D.N. Khurody, and Sardar Datar Singh, who have helped shape the nation’s dairy landscape. Functioning through its Central Executive Committee (CEC), presently under the dynamic leadership of Dr. R.S. Sodhi, the Association has grown into a powerhouse of knowledge sharing and policy influence. Through its national and international engagements and by organising seminars, symposia, and exhibitions, IDA continues to play a pivotal role in driving innovation, dialogue, and development in India’s dairy industry.
