Vita is the brand name of which organisation of Haryana?
- A.The state dairy development cooperative federation
- B.The state agro industries corporation
- C.The state warehousing corporation
- D.The state seeds development corporation
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is A, the state dairy development cooperative federation. Vita is the brand under which it sells milk, ghee, butter, paneer, curd and sweets, and the milk behind the brand is gathered on the three tier Anand pattern: village societies collect it, district unions pool it and the federation processes and markets it through plants at Jind, Rohtak, Ambala, Ballabgarh and other towns.
Option B, the agro industries corporation, deals in farm machinery, inputs and agro processing, not in branded milk. Option C, the warehousing corporation, builds and runs storage for grain and other produce. Option D, the seeds development corporation, produces and certifies seed. The question is really about remembering which state body owns which brand, and Vita belongs to the dairy federation, as Verka does in Punjab and Amul to the Gujarat federation.
