To search for the new areas on which the company can focus to create awareness.
Statement of the problem
Milk is the day to day need of any individual all over the world. In India the
supply of Milk to the customers is done through the unorganized milkmen. After the
revolution of the co-operative milk unions the milk India seen the packaged and
processed Milk and Milk products. For many years the co-operative milk unions enjoyed
monopoly in the market. But after the entry of private sector in this industry the
competition has increased to maximum extent. Each of the players in the market has
many ranges of milk products under different brands. And each and every player wishes
that his brand of products must be on the top of the mind of customer.
With the increasing competition, KMF is not able to raise the market share of its
Nandini branded Milk and Milk products. And the company thinks the lacking of
awareness of its products may be affecting its sale. In order to increase the consumer
awareness the company started many promotional activities. Now the company wants to

know how much customers are aware about the product and what impact of promotional
activities in creating awareness.
Hence the main purpose of this study is to find the “to study the consumer
awareness about Nandini milk and milk products, and impact of promotional activities on
creating awareness.”
Need for the study:
Dharwad Milk Union, a Subsidiary of Karnataka Milk Federation, is the
oldest company in the North Karnataka region in the Packaged Milk and Milk Products
segment. The company was the leader in this segment with its various products under the
brand of NANDINI. But now with the increasing competitors from private sector in
Packaged Milk and Milk Products industry the company has failed to increase its market.
The company has made the attempt to increase the sales through many promotional
activities like advertisements through various Medias, and Awareness Campaigns.
Through these promotional activities the company wanted to re-capture the customers
who are shifted from Nandini to other private branded products, and also wants capture
those consumers who still depending on the un-organized suppliers like Dabba Milkmen
etc… to serve their need of milk and milk products.
So now the company wants to know the consumer awareness about Nandini Milk
and Milk products and impact of promotional activities on creating the awareness in the

of 43%,48% and 44%. Among all products Khoa and Paneer are the 2 products
with very less response of 33% and 29%.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com 9
CONSUMER AWARENESS ABOUT NANDINI MILK AND MILK PRODUCTSAND IMPACT OF PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES ON CREATING AWARENESS
Quality was given more importance with 74%, then the next importance is given
for taste with 52% response. Availability thickness and price comes next with
31%, 26% and 26% where as the fat content carries very less importance with
only 17% looking while purchasing milk and milk products
The learning about the products is happened to the great extent by Television
55% and wall paintings 42%. The banners and dealers also contributed in learning
process by 36% and 30% respectively. 22% and 21% people came to know about
the product s through magazines and radio ads, and only 9% of respondents learn
about the products through campaigns
96 % of the respondents have observed the advertisements of Nandini Milk and
Milk products.
Among 96 respondents who have observed the advertisements, 77 respondents
(80%) feel that the advertisements were informatory.
Among 77 respondents who felt the advertisements were informatory 58% felt
television, 34% says Banners, 30% felt ad boards, and 29% felt wall paintings
were more informatory. Radio ads, magazines, and campaigns were felt less
informatory to about 15%,16% and 10% respectively.
Only 11 persons out of 100 have attended awareness campaigns
Out of 11 customers who attended the campaigns, freshness of the product was
learnt by 7 people, reliability of the Nandini brand was learnt by 5 people,
hygiene in production by 4 and no adulteration in Milk and its products by 2
respondents.
Out of 100 respondents 72% purchase Nandini Milk and Milk products.
Out of 72 respondents who purchase Nandini Milk and Milk products 74% feels
quality is great it is the main factor which influence them for repetitive purchase.
Then 27% says taste, 23 % feels availability, 17% says thickness, 16% feels price
which influence them in making purchase decision. Very less importance was
given by the customers to fat content (15%) and promotional activities (6%)
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com 10
CONSUMER AWARENESS ABOUT NANDINI MILK AND MILK PRODUCTSAND IMPACT OF PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES ON CREATING AWARENESS
Out of 28 respondents who do not purchase Nandini Milk and Milk products
price was said as the major factor with 64% response which influence their
purchase decision. Second and third importance was given to availability and taste
by 32% and 29%. Quality 07%, Fat content (11%), thickness (07%) and
promotional activities (11%) are not major factors which prevents them for not
being the customers
SUGGESTIONS:
As there is very less awareness about Double toned milk the company should try
to promote this product.
The products like pot curd, Masala lassi, Sweet lassi has a great potential to grow
in the market but the awareness is little less. So the company must take
appropriate steps in order to increase the awareness. And much effort is needed to
promote Khoa and Paneer.
During the study I came to know that the availability of the milk products other
than milk is very less. So the other milk products also made available to customer
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com 11
CONSUMER AWARENESS ABOUT NANDINI MILK AND MILK PRODUCTSAND IMPACT OF PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES ON CREATING AWARENESS
where ever the milk is available. That certainly increase the sales volume of milk
products
Consumers say they learnt about the product mainly through Television, wall
paintings and banners. And feels television ads, banners, ad boards were more
informatory. So the efforts of the company are going in a right direction. But only
suggestion is to increase the frequency television ads and ad boards
The customers expect Quality, taste and availability while purchasing the milk
and milk products and the company has reached the expectation in case of quality
and taste but a small effort is needed to increase the availability.
The non customers of Nandini says price is the major reason for not being. So the
company should make an attempt to make them understand the value for money
what they get from Nandini in terms of quality, and healthiness of the products.
Awareness campaigns have failed to reach majority of customers. So the number
of campaigns to be increased and to be made in such a place that the maximum
number of customers are covered.
Conclusion
After analysing the data of the study I conclude that the Toned milk is also in the
queue with 46% of awareness and the Double Toned Milk is showing very poor
awareness with only 15% of respondents are aware of it 29% felt wall paintings were
more informatory. Radio ads, magazines, and campaigns were felt less informatory to
about 15%, 16% and 10% respectively. Second and third importance was given to

---INDUSTRY PROFILE
Brief History
India has a rich tradition in dairying since the time of Lord Krishna. Dairying has
been inherent in Indian culture, for centuries. Milk and milk products have always been
an integral part of our consumption habits. In the vast field of animal husbandry, the
contribution of dairying has been most significant, in terms of employment, as well as
income generation. In post-independence India, co-operative dairying has been one of our
major success stories, having a profound impact on socio-economic development of rural
areas.
Today, India is the largest milk producer in the world with record production of
91.5 million tons. India stands first in world milk production with a share of about 14 per
cent in world milk production. Milk has achieved unique status in terms of its output
value exceeding Rs. 1,00,000 crores and has made rapid strides both in terms of number
of milk producers and quantity of milk produced.
In India, dairying is the second important subsidiary occupation in rural areas,
next to the main occupation of agriculture. Livestock sub-sector alone contributed
to 25 per cent of the total value of agricultural GDP. The development of dairy industry
in India is well known all over the world as one of the most successful development
programme in the globe. Dairy farming is visualized by the farmers in India as part of an
integrated agricultural system where dairy and agriculture complement each other.
The milk production in India was 17 million tonnes in 1950-51. This could meet
only 25 per cent of the domestic demand, the remaining 75 per cent of the demand was
met by importing the milk solids. The production was stagnant for two decades till 1970,
with annual growth rate of milk production of one per cent. Thanks to the vision and
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com 15
CONSUMER AWARENESS ABOUT NANDINI MILK AND MILK PRODUCTSAND IMPACT OF PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES ON CREATING AWARENESS
foresight of Dr. Kurien, in 1970, NDDB launched “Operation Flood Program” with
objective of ending milk famine in the country and turning farmers co-operatives into
powerful catalyst for transforming India into major milk producer in the world. Further,
by providing milk producers remunerative prices round the year, milk production in India
touched 74 million tons since 1997. By the year 2000, India tops to emerge as the largest
milk producer – by surpassing the USA – with an estimated production of 86 million
tons. This is as a result of India’s “White Revolution” in milk production.
The first phase of “Operation Flood Program” was between 1970 and 1981 and it
laid the foundation for modern dairy industry in India. There was a liable self-sustaining
growth of producers controlled dairy co-operatives. The second phase was in action
during 1981 to 1985, which established 136 milk sheds and captured markets in 290
cities and provided 4.9 billion finance. The operation flood has completed third phase on
31 march, 1994 by capturing 500 cities with population target of 300 million customers
and at present fourth phase is in operation. When the third phase was over, the following
benefits had reached the small dairy farmers.
1. Sustained increase in production (4-5% growth/annum) raising the per capita
availability of milk to nearly 220 grams
2. Dependence on commercial imports of milk powder ended
3. Marketing mechanism improved and providing assured market outlet for milk
producers and quality milk for consumers
4. The quality of milch animals improved.
At the end of Operation Flood-II, 72,744 dairy co-operative societies in 170 milk
sheds of the country having total membership of 93.14 lakhs has been organized.
The Operation Flood Program launched another massive program called
“Technology Mission on Dairy Development (TMDD)” in June 1989. The objective of
TMDD was same as that of Operation Flood Program’s objectives.
Karnataka has always remained in the foresight of all agricultural development
initiatives in India and dairy development is no exception. Dairy farming in Karnataka,
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com 16
CONSUMER AWARENESS ABOUT NANDINI MILK AND MILK PRODUCTSAND IMPACT OF PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES ON CREATING AWARENESS
like in elsewhere in the country, is largely characterized by the prevalence of dairy
enterprises that are mostly subsidiary occupations alongside the main agricultural activity
of the farmer. Specialized dairy enterprises do exist but not only is their number
abysmally low as compared to regular types, but also are restricted mostly to urban areas
and their surroundings.
Karnataka stands sixth in milk production in the country and it occupies third
position with respect to milk production under co-operative sector in the country. The
milk production was around 45 lakh tons during the year 2001-02. The KMF is covering
27 districts, with 7000 dairy co-operative societies; around 17000 villages involving 1.5
million farmers collects around 20 lakh liters of milk daily.
As per World Bank Experts Report, for an initial investment of Rs. 200 crores in
Operation Flood III, the net returns per year to the rural economy had been Rs. 24,000
crores. No other major development program all over the world, has matched this input-
output ratio.
The basic functions of any dairy enterprise are procurement, processing and
marketing. This type of operation is known as “Anand pattern of dairying”. The
management of dairy enterprise should be very careful in these activities. The
procurement of milk include milk collection centers (dairy co-operative societies). The
other important decision in milk procurement is pricing of milk. The two axis system of
milk pricing is commonly used i.e., based on Fat and SNF content of milk. Seasonal
fluctuation is the another important aspect which need adequate attention to ensure
regular and sufficient milk throughout the year.
Since, milk is perishable commodity, it has to be processed (chilling or
pasteurizing) immediately after procurement, otherwise, it gets spoiled. The processing
activity cannot be neglected as it make the milk in consumable form with more value
addition.
The marketing includes product mix, pricing policy, distribution routes and sales
promotion etc. The milk products are marketed by both Karnataka Milk Federation and
Private Milk Units.

Area viz., North Goa, Uttar Kannada district, Haveri, Gadag, Hubli and Dharwad.
Marketing of milk and products is done under brand name “Nandini”. Except
loose milk other products are marketed by KMF, the marketing agency.
Due to perishable nature of products the greatest responsibility is over marketing
department to all the products before losing its quality.
Before pre-liberalization (July 21st 1991) the DMU enjoyed a monopoly due to
co-operative organization and other benefits received from the state government. But
after July 21st 1991 the scenario totally changed, new private diaries started grounding
like mushrooms with entrance of private diaries the DMU facing a tough competition
resulting into major loss of market share gradually over the years. Today DMU has only
23 % of total market share. DMU operates in 17 cities/ towns having a total population of
1.05 million.
The closest competitors with regard to market share quality of milk, price and
goodwill are,

HOARDINGS:
These are also very effective ads, where in the large hoardings with the ad
message are put in the much clustered areas or on the sides of the roads. These are
designed in such a way that just to remind about the brands. Usually this doesn’t give the
detailed information about the brand but to remind about the brand and to show the
availability.

CONSUMER AWARENESS ABOUT NANDINI MILK AND MILK PRODUCTSAND IMPACT OF PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES ON CREATING AWARENESS
These types of advertisements are made by inserting the printed pamphlets in the
leading local news papers. The target customers from a particular geographical area are
selected and the printed insertions will be given to the news paper agents. The agents
insert those pamphlets in the said news papers. From this the company can reach to the
majority of customers who purchase that particular news paper in the whole area. This is
a very economical means of advertisement.
BANNERS:
Banners are also play important role in creating awareness. They are the one
which carry the message of the product or brand and catches the eye of consumers very
easily. They are so compatible in nature that you can use them at any place. For ex, the
banners can be used at dealers or outlets, can be tied in a crowded area, can be used in a
promotional campaigns etc…
DEALER DISPLAYS:
The dealer displays are the display boards given by the company for displaying
the product information. They are exclusively given to dealers only which contain
lighting facility which make them clearly visible at the night also. These boards displays
the products that are available and also to make separate identity for the dealers.
TELEVISION AND RADIO:
The company also making the publicity through the most popular media i.e.:
electronics media. We can see and hear the advertisement of Nandini in radio channels
and in various television channels also. At the same time KMF is doing some kitchen
programs like NANDINI ADUGE MANE in private Kannada channels which are

exclusively sponsored by KMF, which are also creating awareness about NANDINI
products and increasing the brand image of NANDINI.
AD BOARDS:
These are the tin boards and hard plastic boards which carry the information about
individual products and of all products. There are two types of ad boards, namely
Rectangle boards, cone boards. Usually these are used to advertise on public transport
systems (back of city bus) and to display at the dealer outlets. These are more
informatory compared to the hoardings.

AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS:
Awareness campaigns are the campaigns organized by the KMF for promoting
the Nandini Milk and Milk products. The awareness campaigns are organized by the
marketing department of the company in which the company officials try to make the
consumers aware about all the products available at Nandini counter. Also the officials
try to convey the parameters which have to be looked while purchasing the milk and milk
products. The consumers are given knowledge of the steps taken by KMF in order to
provide them the healthier products which are processed with hygiene.
The company officials also give knowledge to the consumers that how they are
cheated by the private suppliers by doing adulteration and how that will affect their and
their children’s health.
In total the awareness campaigns never force the consumer to purchase the
Nandini products but help them in decision making by comparing Nandini products with
that of other private branded products.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com 45
CONSUMER AWARENESS ABOUT NANDINI MILK AND MILK PRODUCTSAND IMPACT OF PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES ON CREATING AWARENESS
Usually this kind of awareness campaigns are organized in developing market and
in the areas where the sales is less, and in the area where comparatively less educated
people are there. Because the less educated consumers are week in decision making so
these campaigns gives them a platform to think and decide.
There are two types of awareness campaigns practiced by the company. They are:
DOOR TO DOOR CAMPAIGNS:
The door to door awareness campaigns are done in the area where there are less
existing customers are there and more potential customers are observed. Here the
company officials personally visit every house and provide the information to the
individual households. Generally it is carried over in such place where the customers
need detailed knowledge about the products.
These door to door campaigns are too much time consuming and also need to
incur more expenses. But the results are more favorable.
MASS CAMPAIGNS:
Mass campaigns are carried over where there is a crowd. In such areas the
officials take opportunity to make the crowd understand about the quality of the product,
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com 46
CONSUMER AWARENESS ABOUT NANDINI MILK AND MILK PRODUCTSAND IMPACT OF PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES ON CREATING AWARENESS
the factors to be looked after while purchasing the milk products. And also educate the
crowd about the product mix of Nandini.
These type of campaigns are organized in Mela’s, Fairs, and in sponsored
programs like Mahila Mandal programs, functions in school and colleges etc...
Compared to door to door campaigns the mass campaigns are less expensive and
less time consuming. But the results of mass campaigns are not so favorable as of door to
door campaigns.

---SUGGESTIONSSUGGESTIONS:
As there is very less awareness about Double toned milk the company should try
to promote this product.
The products like pot curd, Masala lassi, Sweet lassi has a great potential to grow
in the market but the awareness is little less. So the company must take
appropriate steps in order to increase the awareness. And much effort is needed to
promote Khoa and Paneer.
During the study I came to know that the availability of the milk products other
than milk is very less. So the other milk products also made available to customer
where ever the milk is available. That certainly increase the sales volume of milk
products
Consumers say they learnt about the product mainly through Television, wall
paintings and banners. And feels television ads, banners, ad boards were more
informatory. So the efforts of the company are going in a right direction. But only
suggestion is to increase the frequency television ads and ad boards
The customers expect Quality, taste and availability while purchasing the milk
and milk products and the company has reached the expectation in case of quality
and taste but a small effort is needed to increase the availability.

The non customers of Nandini says price is the major reason for not being. So the
company should make an attempt to make them understand the value for money
what they get from Nandini in terms of quality, and healthiness of the products.
Awareness campaigns have failed to reach majority of customers. So the number
of campaigns to be increased and to be made in such a place that the maximum
number of customers are covered.
