Remuneration

In general, in the dairy industry trainees receive a stipend of Rs 1,200 per month.
Officers, on confirmation, draw between Rs 5,000 and Rs 6,000 per month.

General Managers, appointed after a minimum of 10 years experience as specialists, receive a salary of Rs 15,000 and upwards per month.

PRESSURES

In the area of production, the work requires living in remote areas, far away from the comforts and conveniences of the city, and this could put pressure on those unprepared for this sort of lifestyle. It also means long hours of very hard work. In other areas, the pressures involved in maintaining product quality standards-as milk is a perishable commodity-can be tremendous.

REWARDS

The knowledge that one is directly contributing to the country's economic development, as well as helping those who are less fortunate, is the greatest reward this career can offer.
