Career hotline I am a student of Class XII. Could you please tell me about the job prospects after doing a BTech course in Dairy Technology.
Kiran, Patiala Increased production of milk and milk products in India has opened up lucrative career avenues for dairy technologists. These specialists can seek employment both in the public and private sectors. Milk co-operatives (including the State Dairy Co-operative Societies) and federations provide ample scope. The job involves collection, production and processing of milk, quality control and even the manufacture and marketing of dairy products like cheese, butter, ice-cream, chocolates, milk foods, cream etc. Amul, Mother Dairy, etc. are leading milk co-operatives in the country. There are several dairies and dairy development boards in the public sector where the pay and perks are as per government grades. The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) and the state level dairy development co-operatives offer excellent pay packages for dairy technologists. In the private sector, Hindustan Lever, Vadilal, Nestle, Glaxo, Smith Kline Beecham, etc. are some of the leading companies that employ dairy technologists. To begin with, dairy technologists are recruited as trainees and shift officers in dairy plants. They move on to become assistant managers and senior managers and even consultants to private enterprises. While dairy farming can be a challenging career offering exciting prospects for the trained professional, those joining this field must be prepared to live in remote areas and roll up their sleeves and work hard. After completing Class XII, I am interested in doing a Bachelor’s course in Library & Information Science (BLISc). Could you please tell me about the job opportunities available in this field. Daljeet, Chandigarh After your graduation in Library & Information Science, you have a wide choice of options to choose from. As a librarian, you will find openings in government and public libraries, universities and other academic institutions, cultural institutions, information centres, museums and galleries, photo and film libraries, besides companies and organisations with large information-handling requirements. With computerisation playing a key role in information management, there is scope for diversifying into hi-tech areas like systems analysis, research assistance, database operations and management, printing and publishing, documentation, corporate and even freelance consultancy, or information marketing. I am doing BSc in Home Science. I intend to pursue further studies in Food & Nutrition.
