Abstract

Information System is a combination of hardware, software, infrastructure and trained personnelorganized to facilitate planning, control, coordination, and decision making in an organization. Information system is used everywhere, wherever the eyes can see. So it has touched the area of Dairies too. As it is a known fact that the milk is a very fragile kind of product, therefore it requires that it should reach to the destination in proper time frame and in good condition. So the Information system is merged with the Logistic management system to make system work perfectly. And with the help of Logistic Information system the various problems of organized dairies are resolved. The use of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) in rural areas of India by different organized dairy industries has made the operations of the dairy industry smooth and simple and different from the old handling pattern of dairy business. While it has always been argued that investments related to ICT made in rural India are not effective, the case of Amul and Saras and other organizations has proven that, where there is a will there is a way. In Gujrat “Amul” and in Rajasthan “Saras” has become rural India's flag bearer in the IT revolution
