The entrepreneurial activities related to the vast sector of traditional Indian milk products and milk sweets effectuate the
holistic development module fulfilling the concept of economic viability, technological feasibility, social obligation, cultural
necessity and above all ecological balance. Despite robust growth and plenteous milk production, this informal sector of dairy
products and sweetmeats is facing unprecedented challenges on multiple fronts. The major identified problems include
non-availability of the packaging system, lack of proper handling and processing of raw material and finished products,
inconsistent product quality, shortage of modern equipment, and inadequate arrangement of effluent handling. Milk and
traditional Indian milk products are extremely perishable. With the ever-increasing cost of production, this sector being vast and
unorganized has become increasingly vulnerable and can have far-reaching prejudicial consequences if protective technological
measures are not employed at grassroots level. The pressure driven membrane processing system can bring a sea change to this
industry from higher yields to a reduction in the cost of handling, storage and transportation. Modified Atmosphere Packaging
(MAP), solar energy and business digitization are ready to open new vistas. The urgent necessity indicates concentrated efforts
to pool, evaluate, preserve and motivate traditional practices, knowledge and wisdom coupled with selective uses of modern
technological advancement in order to bring paradigm shift and inclusive growth.
