Dudhsagar Dairy plant

Owned and operated by Dudhsagar Dairy, a cooperative, it is a postmodern brutalist building designed by Achyut Kanvinde.

Architect Achyut Kanvinde was introduced to Verghese Kurien, a dairy technocrat, in 1962 when he invited by him to design cattle feed plant in Anand, Gujarat.

With similar architectural style, two more processing plants were built in 1983, followed by an office building with seven floors and an auditorium in 1985.

[3][1] The plan separates the milk reception building and the processing plant which resulted in a simplicity in design.

Instead of exhaust fans to evacuate heat, the ventilation ducts are built around the milk reception building and the processing plants linking all spaces.

It is considered as an example of the merging of the top-down and bottom-up economic development models promoted by Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi respectively.
