All quality measures as per Standard of Bureau of  Indian Standards/Agmark are being applied before the products are marketed. Well-equipped laboratories are functioning in the chilling centres and milk plants to maintain ideal quality standards. VITA is the endorsement of quality, a commendation we are Proud of.
