1.2 The Term ‘Product Diversity’

WHAT IS PRODUCT?

A product can be classified as tangible or intangible. A tangible product is a physical object that

can be perceived by touch such as a building, vehicle, gadget, or clothing. An intangible product

is a product that can only be perceived indirectly such as an insurance policy.

In economics and commerce, products belong to a broader category of goods. The economic

meaning of product was first used by political economist Adam Smith.

Dangerous products, particularly physical ones that cause injuries to consumers or bystanders

may be subject to product liability.

WHAT IS DIVERSITY?

Diversity in simple terms can be termed as the state or quality of being different or varied from

other or point of difference between products manufatctured.

PRODUCT DIVERSIFICATION:-

Diversification is a corporate strategy to increase sales volume from new products and new

markets. Diversification can be expanding into a new segment of an industry that the business is

already in, or investing in a promising business outside of the scope of the existing

business.Diversification is part of the four main growth strategies defined by Igor Ansoff's

Product/Market matrix.

WHY PRODUCT DIVERSITY in JISL?

JISL a company which has its roots firm in the field of irrigation has been manufacturing

different products of varied uses or for varied purposes. People in general have a notion that any

business related to agriculture or irrigation are not much profit appealing. so, I was personally

interested in studying in detail about a company that has its roots base firm on irrigation, and

which has been successful in every way to create a goodwill and mark its position among the top

companies.

JISL is a company which manufactures every product in an eco-friendly manner. utmost care is

taken for the environmental management. When a company manufactures products in such

manner it leads to increase in price. But, even overcoming the price hurdle, JISL has become one

of the most reputed firms in today’s global market. it has clients and loyal customers around the

globe, presence in more than 120 countries.

The progress map of Jain irrigation systems from the base irrigation company to today’s well

diversified company with many other products manufacturing branches, and a global presence

had a very impressive grip on me. With a view of studying the variety of products manufactured

by the JISL including its subsidiaries I undertook the project topic as ‘PRODUCT DIVERSITY

Mr. Bhavaralal Jain our Founder Chairman commenced his business journey by selling fuel oil

on hand cart and bicycle in 1963. A seed capital of Rs. 7000/- (USD 155 today)-savings of three

generations, a degree in Law, experience in farming and a strong desire to succeed were the only

assets, with which the business journey began. 1963 to 1978 Jain's did trading business in

Agricultural inputs such as fuel oil, fertilisers, seeds and agricultural equipments & implements

and PVC Pipes. Such was the trust in the Jain's name that as many as 63 national and

multinational companies such as Esso, Pfizer, Zauri, Escorts, Chemplast, etc entrusted marketing

of their products in the region.

THE FOUNDER & CHAIRMAN OF JISL: Dr. BHAVARLAL JAIN.

In 1978 a local bank put up a sick Banana Powder making unit up for auction and Jain's acquired

the same, marking their first step in the Industrial Landscape of India. The unit was revived and

transformed to manufacture Refined Pappain an enzyme prepared from Pappaya Latex. In a short

time Jain's became Number One manufacturer of Refined Papain in the world.

Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd. is now a billion dollar company with 23 manufacturing plants,

spread over 5 continents and employs more than 7000 associates. Jain's products are marketed in

over 110 countries with support of 6700 dealers, 93 offices and 40 warehouses.

5 | P a g e

In 1980, Jain’s started making PVC Pipes to overcome supply constraints from existing vendors.

Today, Jain's are the Number One Plastic Pipe manufacturers in India, covering a wide range

of pipes and fittings. We produce pipes for a wide range of applications from water

transportation to gas and optical fibre. Jain Irrigation is the only company who manufactures

wide diameter pipes of 1.6 mt for water transportation.

Jain’s introduced micro irrigation to India in 1986 and have done pioneering work in the field

since then. Today Jain's are Number One Micro Irrigation Company in the world. This

division manufactures the full range of precision irrigation products, spanning drip, sprinkler and

turf irrigation. The division provides services from soil and water survey, advice on crop

selection, agronomy support, engineering design to turnkey projects. Jain's design, manufacture,

supply and install Green Houses, Poly Houses and Shade Houses for controlled agriculture.

Apart from supplying systems for water conservation and fertigation, Jain's also supply high

quality planting material. The Tissue Culture division of the company is Number One in

Banana Plants Production in the world, producing in excess of 40 million plantlets of Banana,

Pomegranate, and Onion etc. The TC lab is supported by a full fledged Bio-tech lab which

undertakes research on various crops, maintains a gene bank of various fruits and vegetables and

also tests and certifies all of the planting material for authenticity and disease free nature.

1.4 History

The Beginning of the Route to Success:

The Roots

The journey began in 1887 when their forefathers left the deserts of Rajasthan, their home state,

in search of water and food and reached Wakod, at the foothills of the famous Ajanta Caves.

They started farming as a means of livelihood.

In 1963 selling kerosene in pushcart, the young law graduate, Bhavarlal Jain, founded the family

business in trading. The family partnership with a meager Rs. 7,000, accumulated savings of

three generations, as capital. Soon, agencies for two wheelers, auto vehicles and automobile

accessories are established in quick succession.

Thereafter there was no looking back for the founder of JISL, serving to the nature became his

prime policy and so it got stemmed in as the base policy of JISL.

From the commencing period of any venture utmost care was taken that the manufacturing

process or the product does not harm the environment in any manner. the prosucts are

manufactured in the most eco friendly manner.

CORPORATE TIMELINE:

Early history (1887–1963)

Jain Irrigation's roots in the fields of agriculture, water, and food started in 1887 when its

founder's forefathers left the deserts of Rajasthan, their home state, in search of water and food

and reached Wakod, at the foothills of the Ajanta Caves. They started farming as a means of

livelihood.

In 1963, selling kerosene from a pushcart, the young law graduate Bhavarlal Jain, founded the

family business in trading. The family formed a partnership with a meager   7,000, the

accumulated savings of three generations, as capital. Soon, agencies for two wheelers, auto

vehicles, and automobile accessories were established.

1963–1978: Inspired by a quote, "Agriculture: a profession with future" young Bhavarlal

Jain added a dealership of tractors, sprinkler systems, PVC pipes, and other farm

equipment. In order to broad-base the business, agencies for farm inputs such as

fertilizers, seeds, and pesticides were also added. Sales grew from   1 million in 1963 to   

110 million in 1978.

1978: Jain took over a 14-year-old sick banana powder plant in April 1978 at a high

auction price of   3 million while only   0.2 million as inevitable surplus. The plant was

modified for the production of papain from papaya latex. In December 1978, the founder

traveled to New York in search of customers for Jain papain. The competition for

purchase of raw materials at home and for sale of papain abroad was stiff and stifling.

However, Jain developed purified papain through ceaseless in-house R&D and emerged

as the number-one supplier of the highest purity refined papain.

1980: Manufacturing of PVC Pipe commenced with a small annual capacity of 300 MTs

which was increased to over 35,600 MTs per annum by 1997. This made Jain the largest

single producer of PVC pipe in India. A close-knit dealer distribution network in the rural

8 | P a g e

areas, coupled with continuous automation and up gradation of product facilities and in-

house R&D for maximum capacity utilization has kept Jain at the forefront. This further

helped Jain to expand the range to casing & screen piping systems, thereby continuing to

contribute to the growing export volumes.

1989: Beginning in 1989, Jain Irrigation struggled to pioneer water management through

micro-irrigation in India. Jain Irrigation has successfully introduced some high-tech

concepts to Indian agriculture, such as the integrated system approach, one-stop-shops for

farmers, and infrastructure status to micro-irrigation & farm as industry.

1994: Jain diversified into food processing and set up world-class facilities vegetable

dehydration and the production of fruit purees, concentrates, and pulp. Currently this

facility is adopting ISO 9001 & HACCP certified and international FDA statute

requirements. This facility will help combine the modern technologies of the west with

the vast, mostly untapped agriculture resources of India, using local human resources.

2002 – : After being caught between severe liquidity crunch, making lot of loss and

mounting pressure from the banks and financial institutions to immediately clear overdue

liabilities, Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd. (JISL) has decided to raise funds by way of

offering majority equity holding in the company in favour of Aqua International Partners

LP. JISL is out from a bad financial patch of 4 years and start growing rapidly. Its net

profit has more than doubled from Rs324 million in fiscal 2004–05 to Rs671.7 million in

fiscal 2005–06. Exports have contributed Rs2.89 billion to Jain's overall revenue.

2005 –: Jain produced individually quick-frozen (IQF) food products like frozen mango

slices in agreement with the Taiyo Kagaku Company Ltd, Japan.

2006 –: Jain continued acquiring companies to expand its business penetration. After

acquisitions it is became second-largest irrigation company and third-largest dehydrated

onion producer in the world. It is also largest processor of fruits & vegetables within

India.

Route to Success

Trading:

Inspired by a quote, "Agriculture: a profession with future" young Jain added dealership of

tractors, sprinkler systems, PVC pipes and other farm equipment. In order to broad base the agri-

business, agencies for farm inputs such as Fertilizers, Seeds, Pesticides were also added. Sales

grew from Rs. 1 million in 1963 to Rs. 110 millions in 1978, a phenomenal increase of 110

times. These formative years helped them build a unique and lasting enterprise. This was

achieved through consistent high standards of performance and personal behavior on the one

hand and a strong sense of commitment for meeting targeted Volumes and for payment of debts

in time, on the other. Dealings with national and international principals theyre a contributing

factor towards building these attitudes. In time, they came to be recognized as a reputable,

trustworthy and prestigious house. This background augured theyll for an entry into industrial

ventures.

Refined Papain:

They took over a 14 year-old sick Banana Powder Plant in April 1978 at a high auction price of

Rs. 3 million while they only had Rs. 0.2 million as inevitable surpluses. The plant was quickly

modified for the production of Papain from Papaya latex. In December 1978, the founder

traveled to New York in search of customers for Jain Papain. The competition for purchase of

raw materials at home and for sale of Papain abroad was stiff and stifling. Hotheyver, they

developed purified Papain through ceaseless in-house R&D and emerged as the `Number One’

supplier of the highest purity refined Papain. Thus Papain put us on the international map.

PVC Pipes:

In 1980, manufacturing of PVC Pipes commenced with a small annual capacity of 300 MTs

which was increased to over 35,600 MTs per annum by 1997, making us the largest single

producer of PVC Pipes in the country. A close-knit dealer distribution network in the rural areas

10 | P a g e

coupled with continuous automation and up gradation of product facilities and in-house R&D for

maximum capacity utilization has kept us at the forefront. This further helped us to expand the

range to Casing & Screen Piping Systems thereby continuing to contribute to the growing export

volumes.

Micro - Irrigation Systems:

Beginning in 1989, they toiled and struggled to pioneer Water-management through Micro

Irrigation in India. They have successfully introduced some hi-tech. concepts to Indian

agriculture such as `Integrated System Approach’, One-Stop-Shop for Farmer and `Infrastructure

Status to Micro Irrigation & Farm as Industry They have come a long way.

Food Processing :

In 1994 they set-up world class food processing facilities for dehydration of onion, vegetable

and production of fruit purees, concentrates and pulp. These plants are ISO 9001 & HACCP

certified and Meet International FDA statute requirements. Combining the modern technologies

of the theyst with the vast, mostly untapped agriculture resources of India, using the local human

resources and inculcating the culture of excellence in quality and total customer service. They

have set ourselves a goal to become a major and reliable global supplier of food ingredients of

finest quality.

2.1 The Term Irrigation?

Irrigation is the artificial application of water to the land or soil. It is used to assist in the

growth of agricultural, maintenance of landscapes, and revegetation of disturbed soils in dry

areas and during periods of inadequate rainfall. Additionally, irrigation also has a few other uses

in crop production, which include protecting plants against frost, suppressing weed growing in

grain fields. and helping in preventing soil consolidation. In contrast, agriculture that relies only

on direct rainfall is referred to as rain-fed or dry land farming. Irrigation systems are also used

for dust suppression, disposal of sewage, and in mining. Irrigation is often studied together

with drainage, which is the natural or artificial removal of surface and sub-surface water from a

given area.

Humans cannot produce their own food, but depend on the plant community for their food and

fiber, directly and indirectly. Plants can produce their own food by using the natural resources

such as soil, water, air, and sunlight. They can also produce more than they need for their

survival and reproduction. Plants cannot survive and produce their food without water. One of

the main factors for the intensification of the agricultural production of plants is irrigation

(artificial application of water to the plants’ root zone). To get the optimal benefits from

irrigation, it is necessary to calculate the required quantity of water in dependence of some

parameters, for example, of the environment, the subsurface geo-hydrological condition, the type

of crop, and the stage of its growth.

15 | P a g e

2.2 HISTORY OF IRRIGATION:

Animal powered Irrigation (1840)

Archaeological investigation has identified evidence of irrigation where the natural rainfall was

insufficient to support crops.

Perennial irrigation was practiced in the Mesopotamian plain whereby crops were regularly

watered throughout the growing season by coaxing water through a matrix of small channels

formed in the field.

Ancient Egyptians practiced Basin irrigation using the flooding of the Nile to inundate land plots

which had been surrounded by dykes. The flood water was held until the fertile sediment had

settled before the surplus was returned to the watercourse. There is evidence of the ancient

Egyptian pharaoh Amenemhet III in the twelfth dynasty (about 1800BCE) using the natural lake

of the Faiyum Oasis as a reservoir to store surpluses of water for use during the dry seasons, the

lake swelled annually from flooding of the Nile.

16 | P a g e

The Ancient Nubians developed a form of irrigation by using a waterwheel-like device called a

sakia. Irrigation began in Nubia sometime between the third and second millennium BC. It

largely depended upon the flood waters that would flow through the Nile River and other rivers

in what is now the Sudan.

In sub-Saharan Africa irrigation reached the Niger River region cultures and civilizations by the

first or second millennium BCE and was based on wet season flooding and water harvesting.

Terrace irrigation is evidenced in pre-Columbian America, early Syria, India, and China. In the

Zana Valley of the Andes Mountains in Peru, archaeologists found remains of three irrigation

canalsradiocarbon dated from the 4th millennium BCE, the 3rd millennium BCE and the 9th

century CE. These canals are the earliest record of irrigation in the New World. Traces of a canal

possibly dating from the 5th millennium BCE were found under the 4th millennium

canal. Sophisticated irrigation and storage systems were developed by the Indus Valley

Civilization in present-day Pakistan and North India, including the reservoirs at gimar  in 3000

BCE and an early canal irrigation system from circa 2600 BCE. Large scale agriculture was

practiced and an extensive network of canals was used for the purpose of irrigation.

Ancient Persia (modern day Iran) as far back as the 6th millennium BCE, where barley was

grown in areas where the natural rainfall was insufficient to support such a crop.  The quantas,

developed in ancient Persia in about 800 BCE, are among the oldest known irrigation methods

still in use today. They are now found in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. The system

comprises a network of vertical wells and gently sloping tunnels driven into the sides of cliffs

and steep hills to tap groundwater. The noria, a water wheel with clay pots around the rim

powered by the flow of the stream (or by animals where the water source was still), was first

brought into use at about this time, by Roman settlers in North Africa. By 150 BCE the pots were

fitted with valves to allow smoother filling as they were forced into the water.

The irrigation works of ancient Sri Lanka, the earliest dating from about 300 BCE, in the reign of

King  Pandukabhaya and under continuous development for the next thousand years, were one of

the most complex irrigation systems of the ancient world. In addition to underground canals,

the Sinhalese were the first to build completely artificial reservoirs to store water

History of Irrigation in India

Irrigation is an age-old art, as old civilization. In India also the irrigation practiced since pre

historic times, Historical records bear testimony to the existence of a number of old irrigation

works in different part of the country. The earliest form of irrigation practiced in India was

flood or inundation irrigation. Mostly in the flood plains of rivers like the Indus and the

Ganga and their tributaries in north India and the deltaic tracts varies rivers of central south

India. In southern peninsula where the country is mostly undulating, large tanks were built

from very early times for collection of rain water. Large number of wells also had been in use

for irrigation since ancient times in various part of country.

The 1st efforts of irrigation developed under the British rule began in the beginning of 19th

century, which were directed towards the improvement and utilization of old indigenous

works. Three important irrigation works -Western-Yamuna canal, Estern-canal,Cauvery

Delta canal were opened for use. Encouraged by these 3 canals systems the British rules

ventured on new major irrigation projects and during the middle of the 19th century 4

importance irrigation works-Upper Ganga canal, Upper Bari Doab canal, Krishna and

Godavary Delta system-were taken up. The other irrigation works are Agra canal, betwa

canal,periyar canal etc. The Muslim rules also took keen interest constructing canals for

irrigation. In 14th century, Sultan Firoz tughlaq constructed number of canals from sutleg

and Yamuna Rivers. Akber remodeled canal in 16th century. Shahjahan also constructed new

canals.

Major Irrigation Works Completed From 1820-1930;

Westen yamuna canal-1820

Ganga canal-1856

Lower Ganga canal-1880

Sirhind canal-1884

Cauvery Delta system-1889

2.3 PRESENT EXTENT OF IRRIGATION

In the middle of the 20th century, the advent of diesel and electric motors led for the first

time to systems that could pump groundwaterout of major aquifers faster than it was

recharged. This can lead to permanent loss of aquifer capacity, decreased water quality,

ground subsidence, and other problems. The future of food production in such areas as

the North China Plain, the Punjab, and the Great Plains of the US is threatened.

At the global scale, 2,788,000 km² (689 million acres) of agricultural land was equipped with

irrigation infrastructure around the year 2000. About 68% of the area equipped for irrigation

is located in Asia, 17% in the Americas, 9% in Europe, 5% in Africa and 1% in Oceania. The

largest contiguous areas of high irrigation density are found in North India and Pakistan

along the rivers Ganges and Indus, in the Hai He, Huang He and Yangtze basins in China,

along the Nile River in Egypt and Sudan, in the Mississippi-Missouri river basin and in parts

of California. Smaller irrigation areas are spread across almost all populated parts of the

world. Only 8 years later in 2008, the scale of irrigated land increased to an estimated total of

3,245,566 km², what is nearly the size of India.

India today has many firms related to the field of irrigation. contribution of each firm has

been valuable.

Some of the firms holding pioneer position are as follows :

1. Netafim Irrigation India Pvt Ltd

2. Jain irrigations systems Ltd

3. Nagarjuna Fertilizers & Chemicals L

4.  Premier Irrigation Adritec Pvt Ltd

5. Alpha Irritech Pvt Ltd

6. Drip India pvt Ltd.

7.  Newage Agritech Pvt Ltd

Among the above mentioned companies JISL Is the only firm to have a global presence and a

huge turnover.

2.4 TYPES OF IRRIGATION

Various types of irrigation techniques differ in how the water obtained from the source is

distributed within the field. In general, the goal is to supply the entire field uniformly with water,

so that each plant has the amount of water it needs, neither too much nor too little. The modern

methods are efficient enough to achieve this goal.

Surface:

In surface irrigation systems, water moves over and across the land by simple gravity flow in

order to wet it and to infiltrate into the soil. Surface irrigation can be subdivided into

furrow,borderstrip or basin irrigation. It is often called flood irrigation when the irrigation results

in flooding or near flooding of the cultivated land. Historically, this has been the most common

method of irrigating agricultural land.

Localized:

Brass Impact type sprinkler head

Localized irrigation is a system where water is distributed under low pressure through a piped

network, in a pre-determined pattern, and applied as a small discharge to each plant or adjacent

to it. Drip irrigation, spray or micro-sprinkler irrigation and bubbler irrigation belong to this

category of irrigation methods.

SPRINKLER:

In sprinkler or overhead irrigation, water is piped to one or more central locations within the

field and distributed by overhead high-pressure sprinklers or guns. A system utilizing sprinklers,

sprays, or guns mounted overhead on permanently installed risers is often referred to as a solid-

set irrigation system

20 | P a g e

DRIP IRRIGATION

Drip irrigation, also known as trickle irrigation, functions as its name suggests. In this system

waterfalls drop by drop just at the position of roots. Water is delivered at or near the root  zone of

plants, drop by drop. This method can be the most water-efficient method of irrigation, if

managed properly, since evaporation and runoff are minimized.

Center pivot:

Center pivot irrigation is a form of sprinkler irrigation consisting of several segments of pipe

(usually galvanized steel or aluminum) joined together and supported by trusses, mounted on

wheeled towers with sprinklers positioned along its length. The system moves in a circular

pattern and is fed with water from the pivot point at the center of the arc.

Lateral move (side roll, wheel line)

A series of pipes, each with a wheel of about 1.5 m diameter permanently affixed to its midpoint

and sprinklers along its length, are coupled together at one edge of a field. Water is supplied at

one end using a large hose. After sufficient water has been applied, the hose is removed and the

remaining assembly rotated either by hand or with a purpose-built mechanism, so that the

sprinklers move 10 m across the field.

2.5 Sources of irrigation water

Sources of irrigation water can be groundwater extracted from springs or by using wells,

surface water withdrawn from rivers, lakes or reservoirs or non-conventional sources

like treated wastewater, desalinated water or drainage water. A special form of irrigation

using surface water is spate irrigation, also called floodwater harvesting. In case of a flood

(spate) water is diverted to normally Dry River beds (wad is) using a network of dams, gates

and channels and spread over large areas. The moisture stored in the soil will be used

thereafter to grow crops. Spate irrigation areas are in particular located in semi-arid or arid,

mountainous regions. While floodwater harvesting belongs to the accepted irrigation

methods, rainwater harvesting is usually not considered as a form of irrigation.

Rainwater harvesting is the collection of runoff water from roofs or unused land and the

concentration.

Around 90% of wastewater produced globally remains untreated, causing widespread

water pollution, especially in low-income countries. Increasingly, agriculture is using

untreated wastewater as a source of irrigation water. Cities provide lucrative markets for

fresh produce, so are attractive to farmers. However, because agriculture has to compete for

increasingly scarce water resources with industry and municipal users (see Water scarcity

below), there is often no alternative for farmers but to use water polluted with urban waste,

including sewage, directly to water their crops. There can be significant health hazards

related to using water loaded with pathogens in this way, especially if people eat raw

vegetables that have been irrigated with the polluted water. They advocate a 'multiple-barrier'

approach to wastewater use, where farmers are encouraged to adopt various risk-reducing

behaviors. These include ceasing irrigation a few days before harvesting to allow pathogens

to die off in the sunlight, applying water carefully so it does not contaminate leaves likely to

be eaten raw, cleaning vegetables with disinfectant or allowing fecal sludge used in farming

to dry before being used as a human manure. The World Health Organization has developed

guidelines for safe water use.

4.7 JAIN PROTECTED CULTIVATION:

51 | P a g e

Protected cultivation is future because Land and Water – Nature’s gift to mankind is not

unlimited and free forever. Everyday population is increasing and due to modernization the

infrastructure work is increasing and day to day agricultural land is becoming less and less and at

the same time the land value is increasing. Also world water resources are fast diminishing. The

one and only answer to this problem is Jain Protected Cultivation.  “Jain Greenhouses” the name

which you can trust and the only manufacturer of Structures and Micro Irrigation System

components.

After detailed study of inter-relationship among soil, water, crop, land terrain and related agro

climatic conditions, Jains design a suitable and economically viable system to the grower which

protects the crop at certain limits and deliver a measured quantity of water at the root zone of

each plant at regular intervals. This is to ensure that the plants do not suffer from stress or strain

of less and over watering, different climatic conditions. The system installed at the farmer’s field

is commissioned and training imparted to the farmer, followed by regular after sales services.

Benefits of Jain Greenhouses:

52 | P a g e

Has recorded increase in yield up to 5 to 8 times.

Cost of fertilizers, inter-culturing and labour use gets reduced.

Fertilizer and Chemical Treatment can be given through Micro Irrigation System itself.

Undulating terrains, Saline, Water logged, Sandy & Hilly lands can also be brought under

productive cultivation.

53 | P a g e

Model Design:

Greenhouse/ Poly house/ Poly tunnel/ Net house which protects the crop from High intensity of

light, High rainfall, winds, Insects through Structure, Polyethylene film/ Polycarbonate sheet,

Shading nets/ Thermal Nets, Insect Net, Cooling Pad, Exhaust Fan, Foggers and Drip Systems,

fertigation equipment etc. which controls light, temperature, humidity and Irrigation with

fertigation and other required growth substances directly into the root zone of the plant.

Water and nutrients enter the soil from the emitters, moving into the root zone of the plants

through the combined forces of gravity and capillary. In this way, the plant’s withdrawal of

moisture and nutrients are replenished almost immediately, ensuring that the plant never suffers

from water stress, thus enhancing quality, its ability to achieve optimum growth and high yield.
