Vita is the brand name associated with which product of Haryana?

  1. A.Milk and milk products
  2. B.Cotton yarn
  3. C.Mustard oil
  4. D.Basmati rice

Correct answer

A. Milk and milk products

Explanation

The correct answer is A, milk and milk products. Vita is the brand of the Haryana Dairy Development Cooperative Federation, which collects milk from village societies and sells milk, ghee, butter, paneer and sweets under that name. The cooperative structure followed the pattern of Operation Flood, and Haryana, helped by the Murrah buffalo and the Hariana cattle breed, has one of the highest levels of per capita milk availability in the country.

Option B, cotton yarn, comes from the mills of the south western districts but is not sold under this name. Option C, mustard oil, is pressed in the Rewari and Bhiwani belt and sold under many private brands. Option D, basmati rice, is exported from the Karnal and Taraori tract by private exporters, and the state is known for the quality of that rice, but Vita is not its brand. One line is enough: Vita means Haryana dairy, as Amul means Gujarat and Saras means Rajasthan.
