Dissemination of Technical and Scientific Knowledge
IDA actively transmits valuable technical and scientific information to both individual and institutional members. This is primarily achieved through the publication of two key journals:

Indian Journal of Dairy Science (Bimonthly): A peer-reviewed research journal dedicated to publishing scientific studies and research work in dairy science and allied fields.
Organizing Knowledge-Sharing Events
IDA regularly conducts conferences, seminars, workshops, and training programs on subjects of current relevance to promote learning, collaboration, and innovation in the dairy sector.
Expert Resource Inventory
IDA maintains an extensive inventory of:
Dairy scientists
Researchers
Planners
Industry professionals
Consultants working across various domains of the dairy industry
This helps facilitate professional networking and expertise mapping within the sector.
Consultancy Services
IDA undertakes consultancy projects both within India and internationally. These services are extended upon request from central government ministries, international bodies, or other stakeholders seeking technical or strategic expertise.
Policy Advocacy and Industry Representation
