PREFACE
The MBA programmed is well structured and integrated course of business studies. The main objective of practical training at MBA level is to develop skill in student by supplement to the theoretical study of business management in general. Industrial training helps to gain real life knowledge about the industrial environment and business practices. The MBA programmed provides student with a fundamental knowledge of business and organizational functions and activities, as well as an exposure to strategic thinking of management.
In every professional course, training is an important factor. Professors give us theoretical knowledge of various subjects in the college but we are practically exposed of such subjects when we get the training in the organization. It is only the training through which I come to know that what an industry is and how it works. I can learn about various departmental operations being performed in the industry, which would, in return, help me in the future when I will enter the practical field.
During this whole training I got a lot of experience and came to know about the management practices in real that how it differs from those of theoretical knowledge and the practically in the real life.
In today’s globalized world, where cutthroat competition is prevailing in the market, theoretical knowledge is not sufficient. Beside this one need to have practical knowledge, which would help an individual in his/her carrier activities and it is true that “Experience is best teacher”.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
With immense pleasure, I would like to present this project report for Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers' Union Ltd., Anand. It has been an enriching experience for me to undergo my project report at AMUL, which would not have possible without the goodwill and support of the people around. As a student of M.B.A of GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all those who helped me during my practical training programme.

HISTORY
OF
AMUL
INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY
In the year 1946 the first milk union was established. This union was started with 250
liters of milk per day. In the year 1955 AMUL was established. In the year 1946 the union was
known as KAIRA DISTRICT CO-OPERATIVE MILK PRODUCERS’ UNION LIMITED.
This union selected the brand name AMUL in 1955.
The brand name Amul means “AMULYA”. This word derived form the Sanskrit
word “AMULYA” which means “PRICELESS”. A quality control expert in Anand had
suggested the brand name “AMUL”. Amul products have been in use in millions of homes since
1946. Amul Butter, Amul Milk Powder, Amul Ghee, Amulspray, Amul Cheese, Amul
Chocolates, Amul Shrikhand, Amul Ice cream, Nutramul, Amul Milk and Amulya have made
Amul a leading food brand in India. (The total sale is Rs. 6 billion in 2005). Today Amul is a
symbol of many things like of the high-quality products sold at reasonable prices, of the genesis
of a vast co-operative network, of the triumph of indigenous technology, of the marketing savvy
of a farmers' organization. And have a proven model for dairy development (Generally known as
“ANAND PATTERN”).
In the early 40’s, the main sources of earning for the farmers of Kaira district were
farming and selling of milk. That time there was high demand for milk in Bombay. The main
supplier of the milk was Polson dairy limited, which was a privately owned company and held
monopoly over the supply of milk at Bombay from the Kaira district. This system leads to
exploitation of poor and illiterates’ farmers by the private traders. The traders used to beside the
prices of milk and the farmers were forced to accept it without uttering a single word.
However, when the exploitation became intolerable, the farmers were frustrated. They
collectively appealed to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who was a leading activist in the freedom
movement. Sardar Patel advised the farmers to sell the milk on their own by establishing a co-
operative union, Instead of supplying milk to private traders. Sardar Patel sent the farmers to
Shri Morarji Desai in order to gain his co-operation and help. Shri Desai held a meeting at
Samarkha village near Anand, on 4th January 1946. He advised the farmers to form a society
for collection of the milk.
These village societies would collect the milk themselves and would decide the prices at
which they can sell the milk. The district union was also form to collect the milk from such
village co-operative societies and to sell them. It was also resolved that the Government should
be asked to buy milk from the union. \
However, the govt. did not seem to help farmers by any means. It gave the negative
response by turning down the demand for the milk. To respond to this action of govt., the
farmers of Kaira district went on a milk strike. For 15 whole days not a single drop of milk was
sold to the traders. As a result the Bombay milk scheme was severely affected. The milk
commissioner of Bombay then visited Anand to assess the situation. Having seemed the
condition, he decided to fulfill the farmers demand.
Thus their cooperative unions were forced at the village and district level to collect and
sell milk on a cooperative basis, without the intervention of Government. Mr. Verghese Kurien
showed main interest in establishing union who was supported by Shri Tribhuvandas Patel
who lead the farmers in forming the Co-operative unions at the village level. The Kaira district
milk producers union was thus established in ANAND and was registered formally on 14th
December 1946. Since farmers sold all the milk in Anand through a co-operative union, it was
commonly resolved to sell the milk under the brand name AMUL.
At the initial stage only 250 liters of milk was collected everyday. But with the growing
awareness of the benefits of the cooperativeness, the collection of milk increased. Today Amul
collect 11 lakhs liters of milk everyday. Since milk was a perishable commodity it becomes
difficult to preserve milk flora longer period. Besides when the milk was to be collected from the
far places, there was a fear of spoiling of milk. To overcome this problem the union thought out
to develop the chilling unit at various junctions, which would collect the milk and could chill it,
so as to preserve it for a longer period. Thus, today Amul has more than 150 chilling centers in
various villages. Milk is collected from almost 1073 societies.
With the financial help from UNICEF, assistance from the govt. of New Zealand under
the Colombo plan, of Rs. 50 millions for factory to manufacture milk powder and butter was
planned. Dr.Rajendra Prasad, the president of India laid the foundation on November 15,
1954. Shri Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the prime minister of India declared it open at Amul
dairy on November 20, 1955.
PEOPLE POWER: AMUL'S SECRET OF SUCCESS
The system succeeded mainly because it provides an assured market at remunerative prices for
producers' milk besides acting as a channel to market the production enhancement package.
What's more, it does not disturb the agro-system of the farmers. It also enables the consumer an
access to high quality milk and milk products. Contrary to the traditional system, when the profit
of the business was cornered by the middlemen, the system ensured that the profit goes to the
participants for their socio-economic upliftment and common good.
Looking back on the path traversed by Amul, the following features make it a pattern and model
for emulation elsewhere.
Amul has been able to:
Produce an appropriate blend of the policy makers farmers board of management and the
professionals: each group appreciating its rotes and limitations,
Bring at the command of the rural milk producers the best of the technology and harness its fruit
for betterment.
Provide a support system to the milk producers without disturbing their agro-economic systems,
Plough back the profits, by prudent use of men, material and machines, in the rural sector for the
common good and betterment of the member producers and
Even though, growing with time and on scale, it has remained with the smallest producer
members. In that sense. Amul is an example par excellence, of an intervention for rural change.
The Union looks after policy formulation, processing and marketing of milk, provision of
technical inputs to enhance milk yield of animals, the artificial insemination service, veterinary
care, better feeds and the like - all through the village societies. Basically the union and
cooperation of people brought Amul into fame i.e. AMUL (ANAND MILK UNION
LIMITED), a name which suggest THE TASTE OF INDIA.

DEPARTMENT
4.1 PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT:-
4.1.1 INTRODUCTIONProduction management it refers to the process of correction of past mistakes catching up
with the new techniques, taking up steps with developing techniques and taking measures for the production of goods at comparative cost.
The basic philosophy of production management is to launch a formal attack on direct cost and effective utilization of available resources, and developing production management is the process of Planning, Organizing, Directing and Controlling.
The AMUL is started with only 250 liters of milk per day but now AMUL collects average 10 lakhs liters milk per day. At the initial stage AMUL has no problem regarding milk, but in winter season there was excess supply of milk, so AMUL has to sell out that excess milk at the low price or AMUL has to face loss. To remove this problem AMUL took decision to set up a plant to process the surplus milk into butter and milk powder.
Today, AMUL has 3 plants known as AMUL 1, 2 and 3 and another plant in Mogar and Khatraj and another two dairy at PUNE and CALCUTTA. The two plant of AMUL except AMUL 1 is fully automated plant.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH
CO-OPERATIVE CULTUREAll the co operative work together to accomplish a particular task.
REASONABLE MARGINThe system works only for farmers and for consumers, not for profit.
QUALITY
AMUL aims at providing quality to the customers at minimum cost.
BRAND STRENGTHThe strong brand equity of AMUL, which made it possible to become a market leader in milk and milk products.
PRODUCT INNOVATIONUnder its umbrella brand AMUL has added a wide range of milk products like- cheese, butter, Srikhand, flavored milk, Ice-Cream, Chocolate, Sugar-free Chocolate, Probiotic Ice-Cream etc. Recently AMUL launched Pizza and milkshakes.
EXCELLENT PROMOTIONAL TOOLSAMUL is promoting with the help of advertisement, personal selling, sale promotion etc. AMUL generally use hoarding for its promotion. Recently, AMUL is also sponsoring Star Channel for its program star Voice of India.
WEAKNESS
Co-operative culture if not dealt properly can affect the organization.
Animals are now taken as side business. This can affect the industry as the main raw material is milk which is provided by animals.
Illiteracy of the farmers obstructs the successful functioning of the organization. It makes it impossible for the industry to convince them and change the people‟s mindset.
Sometimes government policies also stand as an obstacle in front of the organization for its functioning.
OPPORTUNITIES
AMUL is exporting its products in different countries like UAE, Singapore, Australia, U.S.A. and Gulf Countries. Being, Asia‟s largest milk brand AMUL has acquired significant position in the global market.
Day by day increase in the collection of the milk, AMUL has wide opportunity to produce variety of products
THREATS
With the advent of multinational companies in India the competition has intensified. Amul is facing a tough competition with the companies like Cadbury, Nestle, and Britannia etc.
In the health drink segment for its „Stamina‟ Amul is facing competition with PepsiCo India, Parle Agro etc. Similarly in beverage section also it is having a lot of competitors.
Animals are now taken as side business by the farmers. Their illiteracy poses a threat to change their mindset thereby affecting the organization.
FINDINGS AND SUGGESTIONS
There is a scope of business as there is a demand for dairy products.
AMUL Dairy should open more outlets to get the maximum advantage of the demand.
Need to put more stress in the face-to-face direct marketing to reach to the customers.
The increasing demand for these products presents a great opportunity for theProduction.
The major problem faced by Retailers and AMUL Retailers is the SUPPLY problem i.e.
problem with the distribution. The company should aim at improving its SUPPY CHAIN
MANAGEMENT.
The company should increase incentives that can increase Retailers Nominal Income. This
can be done through certain Schemes that increase the overall sales.
The company should lay emphasis on proper PROMOTION of the brand at the Retail
Outlet.
CONCLUSION
Amul is a highly successful co-operative sector in world. Which truly work for farmers
who are the members of union. All departments are working well and help the union to reach
towards top position. I have list out some recommendations. They are as follows.
Special Seminar should be arranged in village for guiding the village people in proper
take care of Animal. Amul should do research actively in village for guiding the village people in
proper take care of Animal. Amul should do research activity in animal husbandry practice to
increase the milk production.
Amul has competitive established system. The four hands of Amul are working
successfully with corporation. The people of Amul are very co-operative and enthusiastic. Amul
is famous as “Anand pattern” for its co-operative organization in world. So it’s a matter of proud
for the people of Anand as well as India. Amul is really “The Taste of India”.
According to my point, success factors of Amul are hard work, discipline, co-operative
structure, production technology development.
