The director of the National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) emphasized the need to convert laboratory findings into commercially viable products in Haryana.
The director of the National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) addressed officials and stakeholders in Haryana, urging a stronger link between scientific experiments and market-ready solutions. He highlighted that the state’s dairy sector can benefit significantly if research outcomes move beyond the lab.
According to the director, translating research into commercial products will boost farmer incomes, create new jobs, and enhance the competitiveness of Haryana’s dairy industry at the national level. He pointed out that many innovations remain under‑utilized because of a lack of clear pathways to commercialization.
To bridge this gap, NDRI plans to foster collaborations with private firms, provide technology‑transfer support, and launch pilot projects that demonstrate the economic viability of new dairy technologies. The institute also seeks policy backing and funding to scale successful prototypes.
The director concluded by calling on state authorities to create an enabling environment that encourages research institutions and industry players to work together, ensuring that scientific breakthroughs quickly reach the market and benefit the farming community.
