BAIF Development Research Foundation






The BAIF Development Research Foundation is an award-winning charitable organisation based in Urali Kanchan near Pune in Maharashtra, India, that pioneers agricultural development. It was founded in 1967 by Manibhai Desai as the Bharatiya Agro Industries Foundation.
BAIF has been a pioneer in cross breeding of high yielding European cattle such as Holstein Freisian and
Jersey with the sturdy Indian breeds such as Gir from Gujarat.[1][2][3][4][5] Later BAIF expanded the scope of activities to include animal health, nutrition, afforestation[6] wasteland development, and tribal development.[7]


In 1997, the organization received the Adivasi Seva Sanstha award from the State Government of Maharashtra.

Nirman and VAPCOL


BAIF is a parent organisation for a youth organisation in Maharashtra, named as Nirman.VAPCOL (Vasundhara Agri-Horti Producer Co. Ltd.) is a multi state former organisation registered as a producer company under company's Act. VAPCOL is a for profit organisation promoted by BAIF. Currently VAPCOL has its independent website, Facebook page and sales through distribution network as well as online sales.



Criticism


Some critics of BAIF argue that the emphasis on imported breeds of cattle has been instrumental in the decimation of Indian breeds.[8] P. Sanath in the Hindu argues that cross-breeds give higher yields, but require more feed and are not suited to Indian conditions.[9]

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
