PREFACE
Any industrial training is very helpful aid to get idea about management and
working of the industrial undertaking.
MBA is one of the master courses which has its own unique role clarify likely
others. But unlike the other professional courses one of its basic requisite for the
students of IV semester MBA during the study terms is to undertake practical
training in any one public limited industry.
From this industrial training, I can visualize that there is much difference
between theory and practical life. After training period, we have good
management student.
The industrial training is very important for MBA program. In industry or
company, there are many problem arises. Often during the time period of
industry training, I come to know that how successful management team solves
this entire problem.
Once, I visited KAIRA DISTRICT CO-OPERATIVE MILK PRODUCER
UNION LIMITED (AMUL), ANAND for 3 months. This industrial training
offers me to blend the practical knowledge of the company of industry.

-: INTRODUCTION:-
Dairy industry is best suited industry for the growth of the India,
because India is a country that is mainly depend on the agriculture and cattle
feed product, that is nearly 70% and also Indian people will prefer more dairy
products than other food products. This is the main reason for the development
of dairy industry in Indian economy.
Reportedly, world demand for the dairy products is growing by 2%
per year. The largest consumers of dairy products are high income developed
countries like U.S.A., EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, NEWZEALAND, JAPAN and
all the GULF countries. Global prices are at its peak due to drought in Australia
and lower than projected milk volumes in Newzealand along with the phased
reduction in subsidized by the Europe. Global liberalization of dairy policies is
eliminating all tariffs, quotas export subsidized, and domestic supports. At the
same time, novel trade opportunities are emerging from the rapid economy
growth, changing directly patterns and rising urban populace in developing
countries.
At this juncture, competition among firms has grown. However to
stay in market. Firms that respond quickly to changing economic forces,
changing policies and swifts in milk supply and demand forces.

The Amul is the group of unity of four hands which implies that
the co-ordinate hands of different groups of people, united together from
“Amul” which is now the HIGHEST MILK PRODUCER IN ASIA and
SECOND HIGHEST IN THE WORLD.

NATURE OF DAIRY INDUSTRY
In the early seventeenth century, the first English and Dutch colonists
brought cattle with them. Despite the rigors of the environment, cattle
proliferated in all the settled areas. Although shelter and feed were in short
supply and native grasses were not satisfactory for haymaking, pasture was
usually adequate through the summer months. Settlers initially substituted wild
marsh hay, straw, and corn fodder for winter feed but later brought over from
Europe better pasture grasses and tame hays. The cattle came primarily from
England and Holland. There were no specific dairy breeds, and the unimproved
stock soon lost weight and shape through poor management and interbreeding.
Only in New England, where animals grazed under the care of a town cowherd,
was there much supervision. There the towns-people even exercised some
control over breeding through communal choice of sires. Elsewhere the cattle
usually identified through earmarks or brands, mostly fended for them. Almost
every farm and most town households kept one or two cows. Women and
children customarily milked the animals, except in winter when the cows dried
up. They also manufactured the butter and cheese. Before 1700 some producers
regularly exported dairy goods from New England.
By the mid-eighteenth century some areas, such as the Narragansett
district, the lower Hudson Valley, and the counties around Philadelphia, had
earned reputations for producing prime butter or cheese. Exports had stimulated
better management even before the American Revolution, at which time dairies
of a dozen or more cows were no longer uncommon. Between 1790 and 1805,
cheese exports exceeded one million pounds annually, and by 1812, New York
butter wagons regularly traveled as far south as Charleston, South Carolina. In
the early 1820s, some Ohio cultivators were peddling cheese and butter in small
11
towns along the Ohio River from Wheeling to Louisville. The dairy,
nevertheless, remained a seasonal and a household undertaking, a by-product of
"general" farming, until the mid-nineteenth century. Commercial growth was
rapid from the late 1820s. In 1840 dairy manufactures, valued at $33.8 million,
took place in all thirty states. New York (31 percent), Pennsylvania (9.4
percent), and Massachusetts (7.1 percent) were the largest producers, but
relative to population, Vermont and New Hampshire were the most specialized.
Outside the northeastern United States, only Ohio and Virginia were large
producers. By 1860 American butter output had greatly increased, notably in
Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, and Illinois was a sizable
newcomer to the industry. Cheese output, heavily concentrated in Vermont,
New York, and Ohio, lagged after 1850. New York produced a quarter of the
nation's butter and almost half the cheese in 1860. It also contributed the greater
part of cheese exports, which had doubled between 1845 and 1850 to about 15
percent of the national output.
Advances in dairy husbandry began in the 1880s with the practice of
feeding the animal’s ensilage, such as unripened corn, clover, and alfalfa.
Farmers preserved the green feed in closed pits or tower structures called silos.
Silage feeding lengthened the milking season up to 10 weeks, which allowed
manufacturing plants to stay open throughout the year. Adaptation of German
scientific feeding principles resulted in a balanced dairy ration that combined
the nutritive components of various feeds in the proportions required by a cow's
flow of milk. The Babcock test helped farmers cull their low-fat producers.
Beginning with the rivalries of breed associations in the 1880s, emphasis shifted
to raising milk output through official cow testing, extension activity on the part
of the agricultural colleges, cooperative herd improvement associations, and
12
disease-eradication and sire-proving programs. Purebred Holstein-
Friesians, Jerseys, Guernseys, Ayrshires, Brown Swiss, and, from the 1930s,
Red Danish all proved to be excellent dairy cattle, while the dual-purpose
breeds, such as Devons, Shorthorns, and Red Polls, lost ground on specialized
dairy farms. These farms adopted milking machines in the 1920s and installed
cooling equipment later.
Average annual yield per cow climbed from 3,050 pounds of milk in 1890
to 4,508 in 1950, 9,609 in 1970, and 18,204 in 2000. The greatest relative
increases occurred on farms with fifty or more cows in new dairy states, such as
Florida, Arizona, and California. In 1993 California replaced Wisconsin as the
nation's top dairy state and currently produces one-third more milk annually
than Wisconsin does. The number of milk cows reached 25.8 million in 1944
but fell to 12.4 million by 1970 and to 9.2 million by 2000. Between 1950 and
1970, the numbers of farms reporting milk cows fell by 80 percent, and
thousands of small dairy farmers went out of business. This trend has continued
into the twenty-first century as large-scale producers replace small, family-run
operations. Nevertheless, milk products, worth more than $21 billion in 2000,
were second only to sales of cattle and calves in cash value to American
farmers, and that income included the culling of some dairy cattle. In 1997 the
dairy was the largest single source of farm income in six states and second
largest in five others.
Small-scale dairy manufacturing also went into eclipse. When insulated
cars and trucks led to much larger milk sheds at processing plants, high-volume
plants began to achieve the substantially lower unit costs hitherto enjoyed only
13
by condenseries and "centralizer" creameries. As average size of output
increased, however, the number of plants declined, especially since the 1930s.
By 1945 over 100 large "flexible" plants already made multiple products, most
frequently evaporated milk, butter, and cheese, as cost and price relationships
changed.
14
FEATURES OF DAIRY INDUSTRY
India has maintained the unbeatable spot of being the top milk producer in
the world. Thanks to the far sightedness of thinkers like Dr Kurien that
mechanisms like white revolution and cooperatives have stead fast India's
growth in the dairy industry. Little wonder that shanties with buffaloes tied up
in the yard is not a rare sight in India. Going by the statistics, India has shown
almost nil signs of slowdown with milk consumption envisaged to rise by 2.6%
in 2009 and milk production forecast to sustain its normal growth of about 3%.
India is the world's largest milk producer with 104.9 million tonnes per year.
Milk production in India is growing at 4% per year, and at present India
contributes 15% of the total global milk production. The country boasts of some
300 million dairy cattle. India's dual distinction in the dairy segment comes
from the fact that it is both the world's top milk producer and the world's largest
milk consumer.
According to a dairy report released by the Tetra Pak, since 1999, India has
produced more milk than any other country in the world. Over the last four
years, milk production in India has increased by a compound annual growth rate
of 4.3%.
India also tops the charts in terms of milk consumption, consuming 51.5
billion litters of milk and other liquid dairy products in 2008, with a compound
annual growth rate of 2.7% over the last four years. That's almost double the
volumes consumed by the number two milk consumer, China. Dairy sector
contribution is around 65-70% to livestock sector. However, we have less than
1000 milk processing centres in India. The level of processing is expected to be
around 15% in the short term, 20% in the medium term and 30% in the long
15
term. We need to empower the farmers so that large and modern commercially
viable units enter into the indigenous dairy products manufacturing by bringing
improved quality standards, commercially viable technologies, nano technology
based packing and refrigerated transportation system for hygienic distribution
and increased shelf-life.
Amul has been ranked amongst the top 21 largest dairy businesses in the
world as per the findings published by International Farm Comparison Network
(IFCN) at the 10th IFCN Dairy Conference 2009 at Stockholm. Domestically
Amul leads the rest in terms of milk production followed by Karnataka Milk
Federation.
The exports of Dairy Products from India reached 69415.44 million tonnes
with the value of Rs 866.58 crore in 2007-08 as against Rs 434.58 crore in
2006-07. GCMMF is India's largest exporter of Dairy Products. It has been
accorded a "Trading House" status.
Amul GCMMF, Mother Dairy India Ltd, and Nestle India Ltd represent the
3 active competitors in the probiotic dairy market. New entrants for future
include Yakult, the global leader in yoghurts, with its partnership with
DANONE.
BENEFITS OF INDUSTRY
MILK PRODUCTS FOR YOUR HEALTHY WEIGHT.
16
Consuming the recommended servings of milk products every day could
help you manage your weight in a healthy way.
According to more than 30 scientific research studies, a diet rich in calcium
or in milk products could make it easier to maintain a healthy weight or lose
excess weight. In fact, it appears that calcium could make the body use fat as an
energy source more efficiently and reduce fat storage in cells. Also, it seems
that milk products could achieve this more effectively than calcium
supplements, which suggests that other milk ingredients, such as protein, could
play an important role, perhaps by reducing appetite. This weight loss could be
even more effective in people who generally have a low milk products intake.
Conclusion: Although not a magic formula, milk products in adequate
amounts may have added benefits for weight management.
FEATURES OF INDUSTRY
Dairy industry is of crucial importance to India. The country is the world’s
largest milk producer, accounting for more than 13% of world’s total milk
production. It is the world’s largest consumer of dairy products, consuming
almost 100% of its own milk production. Dairy products are a major source of
cheap and nutritious food to millions of people in India and the only acceptable
source of animal protein for large vegetarian segment of Indian population,
17
particularly among the landless, small and marginal farmers and women.
Dairying has been considered as one of the activities aimed at alleviating the
poverty and unemployment especially in the rural areas in the rain-fed and
drought-prone regions. In India, about three-fourth of the population live in
rural areas and about 38% of them are poor. In 1986-87, about 73% of rural
households own livestock. Small and marginal farmers account for three-
quarters of these households owning livestock, raising 56% of the bovine and
66% of the sheep population. According to the National Sample Survey of
1993-94, livestock sector produces regular employment to about 9.8 million
persons in principal status and 8.6 million in subsidiary status, which constitute
about 5% of the total work force. The progress in this sector will result in a
more balanced development of the rural economy.
POLICY
The total amount of milk produced has more than tripled from 23 million
tonnes back in 1973 to 74.70 million tonnes 26 years later in 1998. The
tremendous rise in milk production is primarily the fallout of the dairy farming
policy reflected in .Operation Flood.. Following the success of dairy farming
policy, the Government has set up a dairy processing policy, reflected in
the .Milk and Milk Products Order.. In addition, the Government uses a variety
of import restrictions to protect its domestic dairy market.
MILK PROCESSING
The milk processing industry is small compared to the huge amount of
milk produced every year. Only 10% of all the milk is delivered to some 400
dairy plants. A specific Indian phenomenon is the unorganized sector of
milkmen, vendors who collect the milk from local producers and sell the milk in
both, urban and non-urban areas, which handles around 65-70% of the national
milk production. In the organized dairy industry, the cooperative milk
18
processors have a 60% market share. The cooperative dairies process 90% of
the collected milk as liquid milk whereas the private dairies process and sell
only 20% of the milk collected as liquid milk and 80% for other dairy products
with a focus on value-added products.
DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION
The huge volume of milk produced in India is consumed almost entirely by
the Indian population itself, in a 50-50 division between urban and nonurban
areas. Increasingly, important consumers of the dairy industry are fast-food
chains and food and non-food industries using dairy ingredients in a wide range
of the product.
TRADE
In spite of having largest milk production, India is a very minor player in
the world market. India was primarily an import dependent country till early
seventies. Most of the demand-supply gaps of liquid milk requirements for
urban consumers were met by importing anhydrous milk fat / butter and dry
milk powders. But with the onset of Operation Flood Programme, the scenario
dramatically changed.
OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES IN THE INDIAN DAIRY
INDUSTRY
19
Commercial imports of dairy products came to a halt except occasional
imports of very small quantities. In the 1990s, India started exporting surplus
dairy commodities, such as SMP, WMP, butter and ghee. The Agricultural and
Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) regulated
the export and import of dairy products till early 1990s. However, in the new
EXIM Policy announced in April 2000, the Union Government has allowed free
import and export of most dairy products. The major destinations for Indian
dairy products are Bangladesh (23.1%), UAE (15.4%), US (15.6%) and
Philippines (8.9%). In terms of products, SMP is the most important product
accounting for about 63% of total export volume, followed by ghee and butter
(11.7%) and WMP. Export figures clearly demonstrate that the Indian dairy
export is still in its infancy and the surpluses are occasional. Indigenous milk
products and desserts are becoming popular with the ethnic population spread
all over the world. Therefore, the export demand for these products will increase
and hence, there is a great potential for export. On the other hand, there has
been a sharp increase in import of dairy products (especially milk powders)
after trade liberalization. As per the latest report of Foreign Trade Statistics of
December 2004, the imports of dairy products (milk and cream) has reached a
cumulative total of 22.145 million tones for the period April - March 2004, as
compared to only 1473 million tonnes for the same period during the previous
year. The main reasons for sharp rise in imports are huge export subsidies given
by developed countries (mainly the US and EU). India has recently concluded a
tariff rate quota to deal with US, EU and Australia on imposing custom duty of
15% on imports of SMP and WMP up to 10,000 tonnes and 60% on imports
beyond this level.
KEY AREAS OF CONCERN IN THE DAIRY INDUSTRY:-
20
(I) COMPETITIVENESS, COST OF PRODUCTION, PRODUCTIVITY OF
ANIMALS ETC.
The demand for quality dairy products is rising and production is also
increasing in many developing countries. The countries which are expected to
benefit most from any increase in world demand for dairy products are those
which have low cost of production. Therefore, in order to increase the
competitiveness of Indian dairy industry, efforts should be made to reduce cost
of production. Increasing productivity of animals, better health care and
breeding facilities and management of dairy animals can reduce the cost of milk
production. The Government and dairy industry can play a vital role in this
direction.
(II) PRODUCTION, PROCESSING AND MARKETING
Infrastructure If India has to emerge as an exporting country, it is
imperative that we should develop proper production, processing and marketing
infrastructure, which is capable of meeting international quality requirements. A
comprehensive strategy for producing quality and safe dairy products should be
formulated with suitable legal backup.
(III) FOCUS ON BUFFALO MILK BASED SPECIALTY
Dairy industry in India is also unique with regard to availability of large
proportion of buffalo milk. Thus, India can focus on buffalo milk based
specialty products, like Mozzarella cheese, tailored to meet the needs of the
target consumers.
(IV) IMPORT OF VALUE-ADDED PRODUCTS AND EXPORT OF LOWER VALUE
PRODUCTS
21
With the trade liberalization, despite the attempts of Indian companies to
develop their product range, it could well be that in the future, more value-
added products will be imported and lower value products will be exported. The
industry has to prepare themselves to meet the challenges.
TECHNOLOGY USED IN DAIRY INDUSTRY
Milk is as ancient as mankind itself, as it is the substance created to feed
the mammalian infant. All species of mammals, from man to whales, produce
milk for this purpose. Many centuries ago, perhaps as early as 6000-8000 BC,
ancient man learned to domesticate species of animals for the provision of milk
to be consumed by them. These included cows (genus Bos), buffaloes, sheep,
goats, and camels, all of which are still used in various parts of the world for the
production of milk for human consumption.
Fermented products such as cheeses were discovered by accident, but their
history has also been documented for many centuries, as has the production of
concentrated milks, butter, and even ice cream.
Technological advances have only come about very recently in the history
of milk consumption, and our generations will be the ones credited for having
turned milk processing from an art to a science. The availability and distribution
of milk and milk products today in the modern world is a blend of the centuries
old knowledge of traditional milk products with the application of modern
science and technology.
The role of milk in the traditional diet has varied greatly in different
regions of the world. The tropical countries have not been traditional milk
consumers, whereas the more northern regions of the world, Europe (especially
Scandinavia) and North America, have traditionally consumed far more milk
and milk products in their diet. In tropical countries where high temperatures
and lack of refrigeration has led to the inability to produce and store fresh milk,
22
milk has traditionally been preserved through means other than refrigeration,
including immediate consumption of warm milk after milking, by boiling milk,
or by conversion into more stable products such as fermented milks.
WORLD-WIDE MILK CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION
The total milk consumption (as fluid milk and processed products) per
person varies widely from highs in Europe and North America to lows in Asia.
However, as the various regions of the world become more integrated through
travel and migration, these trends are changing, a factor which needs to be
considered by product developers and marketers of milk and milk products in
various countries of the world.
Even within regions such as Europe, the custom of milk consumption has
varied greatly. Consider for example the high consumption of fluid milk in
countries like Finland, Norway and Sweden compared to France and Italy where
cheeses have tended to dominate milk consumption. When you also consider the
climates of these regions, it would appear that the culture of producing more
stable products (cheese) in hotter climates as a means of preservation is evident.
MILK COMPOSITION
The role of milk in nature is to nourish and provide immunological
protection for the mammalian young. Milk and honey are the only articles of
diet whose sole function in nature is food. It is not surprising, therefore, that the
nutritional value of milk is high.
23
At the international level, we have to ensure that provisions of SPS and
TBT are based on application of sound scientific principles and should become
defectors barriers to trade.
Dairy sector witnessed a spectacular growth between 1971-1996, i.e.
Operation Flood era. An integrated cooperative dairy development programme
on the proven model of Anand pattern was implemented in three phases. The
National Dairy Development Board was designated by the Government of India
as the implementing agency. The major objective was to provide an assured
market round the year to the rural milk producers and to establish linkage
between rural milk production and urban market through modern technology
and professional management.
Milk production grew from 21 million tonnes in 1970 to nearly 69 million
tonnes in 1996 - more than three fold, at the compound growth rate of 4.5 per
cent. Some ten million farmers were enrolled as members in about 73000 milk
cooperative societies. By 1996, milk cooperatives attained a dominating share
of the Indian dairy market - butter 96%, pasteurized liquid milk over 90%, milk
powder 59% and processed cheese 85%. India was reckoned as a major threat in
the dairying world. In retrospect, it was by no means an easy task. Let us all
salute the visionary and the architect of the white revolution in India, Dr.
Verghese Kurien, without whose dynamic leadership all this may not have been
possible. The dairy cooperative movement has continued to grow in the post
Operation Flood-era.
24
MARKET OF DAIRY INDUSTRY
The NDDB has recently put in place .Perspective 2010. to enable the
cooperatives to meet the new challenges of globalization and trade
liberalization. Like other major dairying countries of the world, the Indian
cooperatives are expected to play a predominant role in the dairy industry in
future as well. However, India is in the mean time, attaining its past glory and is
once again becoming .DOODH KA SAGAR.. But, what percentage of this
SAGAR is handled by the cooperatives - just a little over 7%. Since
liberalization of the dairy sector in 1991, a very large number of private sector
companies / firms have, despite MMPO, established dairy factories in the
country. The share of the total milk processing capacity by private sector is 44%
of total installed capacity of 73 MLPD (Million Litres Per Day) in the country.
Therefore, the total share of the organized sector, both cooperatives as well as
the private sector is barely 12%. What is, therefore, disquieting is that as much
as 88% share of the total milk production is commanded by the unorganized
sector - who specializes in selling sub-standard, unpasteurized milk more often
than not adulterated with harmful chemicals. Besides, growth in milk
production is likely to continue at the present rate of 4.4% in the near future.
Who is going to handle this incremental milk? We must bear in mind is both
income and price what we must bear in mind both income & price elasticity
account for approximately 15% of the total expenditure of food. Demand for
milk, at current rate of income growth is estimated to grow at 7% per annum.
Interestingly, demand for milk is expected to grow steadily over the next two
decades as the low income rural and urban families who have higher
expenditure elasticity would also increase their income due to new economic
environment. Let us now look at some other economic indicators.
According to the World Bank, India is the fourth largest economy in the
world going by the purchasing power parity estimates. Further, India has been
25
identified as among the first 10 emerging markets in the world. India has the
vastest domestic market in the world with over one billion consumers - a
majority of whom are vegetarians with drinking of milk as habit. The untapped
potential of the dairy sector is immense and opportunity to set up a new dairy
venture is great. In the works of Dr. Amrita Patel, Chairperson, NDDB, there is
enough place under the scheme for both private and cooperative sectors.
Notwithstanding the above potential it is cautioned that, entering dairy sector is
not going to be a cakewalk.
Globalization and Liberalization are the Mantras of the new economy
today, which is now on the fast track. Industrial production is rapidly moving
forward. The dairy industry is no exception. With the World Trade Organization
(WTO) coming into effect, from 01 April 2001 and the imports and exports
getting liberalized in the global economy, the dairy industry, which includes
dairy products, faces both an opportunity for growth as well as a threat for its
growth. There is no doubt that there is tremendous scope for the growth of the
dairy industry in the new millennium. The product mix of world dairy trade is
likely to shift further towards cheese. This has been developed in the world
markets. As the market opens up, consumption trends associated with these
markets will have increasing influence on the world trade. Whole milk powder
is likely to continue to be a substantial beneficiary and growth substantially in
the middle eastern countries. As standards of living in the importing country
rises, exporting countries will increasingly concentrate on whole milk powder
and cheese with the assistance of butter and skimmed milk powder. There is
vast potential for the export of dairy products, the cost of milk production in
India being the lowest. The major factor influencing production of bye products
is the newer uses that may be developed through R & D support. Milk proteins
are being utilized increasingly replacing animal and vegetable proteins in
special bakery products and instant foods. Through the application of membrane
26
proven process, milk proteins isolates are being produced. These are being
utilized for ice milk mixes and other such applications. Most of the dairy plants
in the Government, Cooperatives and Private Sector produce almost similar
dairy products like varieties of milk, butter, ghee, skimmed milk powder and
whole milk powder.
There are 7 large-scale cheese manufacturers and 14 manufacturers are
producing infant foods and malted milks. There is immense scope for the
broadening of the products range and some of the products, which are likely to
have considerable demand in the coming decade, have been identified. Pizza is
becoming a very popular item in the market. This segment alone commands 5%
of the share in the cheese market and other area is fermented milk products.
Dahi (curd) even though is a Rs.15000 crore market, the share of the organized
sector is only around 10%. This product has immense potential for growth.
Varieties of milk shakes are also increasing wherein milk and fruit pulp are
mixed in different proportions to produce different beverages. Some of the milk
and fruit based beverages which are likely to have demand are a combination of
milk with mango, banana, sapota, strawberry, papaya, etc. Some of these
beverages can also be produced in dehydrated form and can be an excellent
health food.
There are varieties in traditional milk based sweets, manufactured in the
country. The market size is around Rs.12000 crore. However, there are very few
nationally known brands in this category. Many of the organized dairies are
involved in the manufacture of varieties of milk based sweets: pedha, paneer,
shirkhand, etc. These are now restricted to certain areas only but can go
27
national. As the world is getting integrated into one market, quality certification
is becoming essential in the market. However, there are very few plants in the
country, which have successfully obtained ISO, HACCP certification. There is
scope for introducing newer plants adopting newer processes by the dairy
industry in the country. Packaging of dairy products is also another very
promising area. NRI and overseas investments can take place in manufacturing
dairy processing equipment, fruit packaging equipment and equipments for
biotechnology related dairy industry.
OVERVIEW OF THE INDIAN DAIRY SECTOR
The country is the largest milk producer all over the world, around 100
million MT Value of output amounted to Rs. 1179 billion (in 2004-05)
(Approximately equals combined output of paddy and wheat!!) 1/5 th of the
world bovine population Milk animals (45% indigenous cattle, 55 % buffaloes,
and 10% cross bred cows) Immensely low productivity, around 1000 kg/year
(world average 2038 kg/year) Large no. of unproductive animals, low genetic
potency, poor nutrition and lack of services are the main factors for the low
productivity There are different regions – developed, average, below average
(eastern states of Orissa, Bihar and NE region) in the dairy industry.
POTENTIAL FOR INVESTMENT IN THE DAIRY INDUSTRY
Some areas of Indian dairy industry can be toned up by the evocation of
differentiated technologies and equipment from overseas. These include:
RAW MILK HANDLING:
28
The raw milk handling needs to be elevated in terms of physicochemical
and microbiological properties of the milk in a combined manner. The use of
clarification in raw milk processing can aid better the quality of the milk
products.
MILK PROCESSING:
Better operational ratios are required to amend the yields and abridge
wastage, lessen fat/protein losses during processing, control production costs,
save energy and broaden shelf life. The adoption of GMP (Good Manufacturing
Practices) and HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) would help
produce milk products adapting to the international standards.
PACKAGING:
Another area that can be improved is the range of packing machines for the
manufacture of butter, cheese and alike. Better packaging can assist in retaining
the nutritive value of products packed and thus broaden the shelf life. A cold
chain distribution system is required for proper storage and transfer of dairy
products.
VALUE-ADDED PRODUCTS:
There's vast scope for value-added products like desserts, puddings,
custards, sauces, mousse, stirred yoghurt, nectars and sherbets to capture the
dairy market in India.
29
The Indian dairy industry has aimed at better management of the national
resources to enhance milk production and upgrade milk processing involving
new innovative technologies. Multinational dairy giants can also make their
foray in the Indian dairy market in this challenging scenario and create a win-
win situation for both.
Indian (traditional) milk products
There are a large variety of tradition Indian milk products such as
Markham- unsalted butter.
Ghee-butter oil prepared by neat clarification, for longer shelf life cheer-a
sweet mix of boiled milk, sugar and rice.
Burundi- milk and sugar boiled down till it thickens.
Rabbi- sweetened cream.
Dahl- a type of curd.
Lassi- curd mixed with water and sugar/salt.
Channa/paneer milk mixed with lactic acid to coagulate.
Khoa- evaporated milk, used as a base to produce sweet meats. Brading

HISTORY
40
In the year 1946, the first milk union was established. This union was started
with 250 liters of milk per day. In this year, 1946, the union was called “THE
KAIRA DISTRICT CO-OPERATIVE MILK PRODUCERS UNION”. The
union selected the brand name “AMUL” for its product range in 1955.
The brand name Amul means “AMULYA”. This world is derived from the
Sanskrit word “AMULYA” which means “PRICELESS”. A quality control
expert in Anand suggested it. The very concept of kaira union system of co-
operative dairying was to become “priceless” for millions of farmers all aver
India.
The word AMUL stands for:
A – Anand
M – Milk
U – Union
L – Limited
In the early 40’s the main source of earnings for the farmers and selling of milk.
However, the income from selling of milk was not dependable since milk –
marketing system was controlled by private traders and intermediaries who
exploited the farmers and gave them very less returns on the milk products.
Many a times they had to sell cream and ghee at throwaway prices.
In those times, there was a great demand for milk in Bombay. The main
suppliers of the milk were Polson Dairy limited which was a privately owned
company and held monopoly over the supply of milk at Bombay from the kaira
district. This again led to the exploitation of poor and illiterate farmers.
41
However, this exploitation becomes intolerable and the farmers became
frustrated. Therefore, they collectively appealed to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel,
who was a leading activist in the freedom co-operatives as early as in 1940. He
advised the farmers to sell the milk on their own by establishing a co-operative
union instead of supplying milk to provide 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 Jan 1946. He advised the
farmers to form a society for collection of the milk. These village’s societies
would collect the milk on their own and would decide the prices at which they
could sell the milk. The district union was also formed to collect the milk from
such village co-operative societies and to sell this milk. It was also resolved that
the government should be asked to buy milk from the union.
However, the government did not help the farmers by turning down the demand
for the milk. The farmers responded by going on a strike. For nearly 15 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 seen the farmer’s condition and studying
their demands the commissioner decided to fulfill the farmers demand.
In this manner, the co-operative unions were formed at the villages and
district levels to collect and sell milk on a co-operative basis, without the
interventions of government. Mr Varghese Kurien showed main interest in
establishing unions and he received support from Mr. Tribhovandas Patel who
educated the farmers about the co-operation unions at the village’s levels. The
kaira district milk producers union was thus established in Anand and was
formally registered 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
42
under the brand name AMUL. Dr. Rajendra Prasad who was the first president
India laid the foundation stone for AUML on 12/09/1948. Late Shri Jawaharlal
Nehru, the then prime minister of India, inaugurated it on 31/10/1955.
In the initial stage only 250 liters of milk was collected on an everyday basis.
However, with the growing awareness of the benefits of the co-operatives ness,
the collection of milk has increased considerably. Today, Amul collects about
15 lakhs liters of milk everyday. Since milk is a perishable commodity it
became difficult to preserve milk for a longer period. Moreover, when the milk
was to be collected fro the far off places, there was a fear of spoiling of milk. To
overcome the problem the union thought out to develop chilling units at various
junctions, which would collect the milk, and could chill it and thus able to
preserve it for a longer period. Thus, today Amul has more than 150 chilling
centre in various villages. Milk is collected from almost 1232 societies.
From the late fifties kaira union has been investing heavily in schemes to
improve the milk yield in animals. The union has built up a full-fledged
infrastructure for breading animals and ensuring animal health care. Semen fro-
high pedigree bulls are being made available. An efficient insemination service
was also put into place through village society workers. A mobile veterinary
service rendered animal health care at the doorstep of the farmer. The veterinary
first aid programmer organized by the union through trained village society
workers was probably the first of its kind in India.
Today, twelve dairies are producing different products under the brand name
AMUL. AMUL Dairy has become no. 1 dairy in Asia and no. 2 in the world. It
has become a symbol of many things such as:
Of high – quality products sold at reasonable price.
43
Of the genesis of a vast co-operative network.
Of the triumph of indigenous technology.
Of the marketing shrew dress of a farmer’s organization.
Of a proven model for dairy development
GCMMF is a part of Amul. GCMMF is performed all the marketing activity
foamed. GCMMF was established in 1972 by Dr Varghese Kurien. Till 1965
Amul marketed all products but due to progress and increasing demand many
problem emerged. It was necessary to create separate department.
The word of GCMMF stands for:
G – Gujarat
C – Co-operative
M – Milk
M – Marketing
F – Federation
44
DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH
The Amul is the co-operative union which success with the slow and steady
growth. The Amul has start with one society and now it is converted into a
union with 1073 societies. At the beginning Amul collect only 250 liters of milk
per day. Now, Amul collect lakhs of liters of milk perks of liters of milk per
day. The excess of milk leads the Amul to develop the milk products. The Amul
developed step by step. The main stages of development are as follow:
YEARS PARTICULARS

million to the Amul. This financial help lead Amul to established fully
automatic plant for producing milk and milk powder.
1958 In this year Amul expand the plant and started to produce sweetened
condensed milk.
1960 The excess supply of milk in the winter season and huge amount of
profit make possible the expansion of Amul. The Amul established

CO-OPERATIVE CONCEPT:
CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY:
58
Co-operative society is the most democratic form of the business
organization for the betterment of general public. These Co-operative societies
help to protect the interest of the consumers, smail and independent producers,
and of the workers while fighting against the monopolists and capitalists.
Members supply the capital, manage the business and share all its profits and
losses. In economic field, those do not have the idea of earning profits but to
benefits the members.
Co-operative society is an association of individuals formed for the
purpose of obtaining goods, specially the articles of daily use at rates lower that
that of market. Thus, it is a means to level the inequality of wealth which had
come into existence as a result of private individual form of ownership. The
idea of Co-operative society is to benefits the shareholders who arc the
consumers or producers.
Mr. M. Barovv defined Co-operative society as "voluntary organization" of
persons with unrestricted membership and collectively owned fund, consisting
of wage earners and small producers, united on a democratic basic for the
establishment of enterprises under joint management for the purpose of
improving their household or business economy.
To start a Co-operative society an application is submitted to the registrar
of Co-operative societies. The officials of this department will attend the first
general board meeting in which bye-laws arc framed to govern the society and
the directors arc elected by the shareholders. Then the authorities are satisfied
about its soundness.
OBJECTIVE:
The main objectives of the Co-operative society are following:
59
It is a voluntary organization. A member can continue his membership as
long as he desires, and can by giving a notice, withdraw his capital and cease to
be a member.
There is no limit to its membership. Face value of one share is generally
kept in between Rs. 1 to Rs. 10. Thus small value of share makes it possible to
enroll a large number of persons because even a poor man can afford this much
amount.
Its management is based on democratic basis of equality. Therefore, every
member can cast only one vote, whatsoever the number of shares he has.

invaded therein occupied the prime place in this traditional approach.

organizations, which do not pay adequate attentions to financial
management
OBJECTIVES OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Efficient financial management requires the existence of some
objectives, which are as follows:
65
1) PROFIT MAXIMIZATION:
The objective of financial management is the same as the
objective of a company which is to earn profit. But profit
maximization alone cannot be the sole objective of a company. It is
a limited objective. If profits are given undue importance then
problems may arise as discussed below:
The term profit is vague and it involves much more contradictions.
Profit maximization must be attempted with a realization of risks
involved. A positive relationship exists between risk and profits. So
both risk and profit objectives should be balanced.
Profit maximization fails to take into account the time pattern of
returns.
Profit maximization does not take into account the social
considerations.
2) WEALTH MAXIMIZATION:
It is commonly understood that the objective of a firm is to
maximize value of a firm is represented by the market price of a
the company’s stock. the market price of a firm’s stocks represent
the assessment of all market particular firm is. It takes in to account
present and prospective future earning per share, the timing and
risk of these earning, the dividend policy of the firm and many
66
other factors that bear upon the market price of the stock. Market
price acts as the performance index or report card of the firm’s
progress and potential.
Prices in the share markets are affected by many factors and even
mass psychology. Normally this value is a function of two factors:
The anticipated rate of earning per share of the company.
(A) The capitalization rate.
(B) The likely rate of earning per shares depends upon the assessment
of how profitable a company may be in the investors for the company.
Scope of financial management : -
The approach to the scope and functions of financial management is
divided for purpose of exposition into two broad categories:
[1] The Traditional Approach, and
[2] The Modern Approach.
[1] Traditional Approach:
67
The traditional approach which was popular in early stage, limited
the role of financial manager to rising and administrating of fund needed by
corporate enterprise to meet their financial needs. It deals with the following
aspects:
- Arrangement of fund from financial institution.
- Arrangement of funds through financial instruments like share, bonds,
etc.
- Looking after the legal and accounting relationship between a corporation
and its sources of funds.
The traditional approach to the scope of finance function
evolved during the 1920 and the 1930 dominated the academic during the
forties and through the early fifties. It has now been discarded as it suffers
from serious limitations, following are main limitations:
External approach.
Ignored routine problems.
Ignored non-corporate enterprise.
Ignored working capital financing.
No emphasis on allocation of funds.
The conceptual framework of the traditional treatment ignored what
soloman aptly describes as the central issues of financial management these are:
1) Should an enterprise commit capital funds to certain purpose?
68
2) Do the expected returns meet financial standards of performance?
3) How should these standards be set and what is the cost of capital funds of
the enterprise?
4) How does the cost very with the mixture of financing method used?
[2] Modern Approach:
According to modern approach the term financial management
provides a conceptual and analytical framework for financial decision making.
That means, the finance function covers both acquisition of funds as well as
their allocations.
The new approach is an analytical way of viewing the financial
problems of a firm. The main contain of the modern approach are as follows:
What is the total volume of funds an enterprise should commit?
What specific assets should an enterprise acquired?
How should the funds required be financed?
Thus, the financial management, in modern sense of the term, can be divided
into four major decisions as functions of finance.
They are:
a. The investment decision.
b. The financial decision.
69
c. The dividend policy decision.
d. The liquidity decision.
IMPORTANCE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Proper finance is the real key to the success of any business enterprise.
Without finance a business neither survives nor expands and modernizes.
it is the finance, which works like a lubricant, which keeps the
organization dynamic. keeps men and machine at work. The following
are the points highlight the importance of finance.
Financial management is concerned with the management decisions that
result in the acquisition and financing of short term and long term credits
for the firm.
Financial management constitutes risk, cost and control. The cost of
funds should be at minimum for a proper balancing of risk and control.
Finance for business promoting.
Finance management for optimum use of firm.
Use for co-operation in business activities.
70
Useful in decision-making.
Determinant of business success.
Measurement of performance.
Basis of planning, co-operation and control.
Principle of Finance : -
The Knowledge of these eight principles is essential for understanding the field
of finance. Make sure that you master each of them.
1. Risk-Return Tradeoff : The higher the risk of an investment, the higher the
expected return must be.
2. Liquidity vs. Profitability : There is a trade-off between liquidity and
Profitability; gaining more of one ordinarily means giving up some of
the other.
3. Matching Principle (or the Principle of Suitability) : The maturity of a
firm’s assets should match the maturity of the firm’s liabilities, i.e. short-
term assets should be financed with short term liabilities; long- term
assets should be financed with long-term sources of financing.
If you violate the matching principle, you create a
problem either of too little liquidity or too little profitability.
71
4. Leverage : Leverage is a magnification of earnings that results from
having fixed costs in the company. Simply put, leverage is a measure of
the degree of sensitivity of earnings to some other measure.
(a) Operating leverage-
A magnification of earnings (Net Operating Income or EBIT) that
results from having fixed operating costs in the company. (Examples of fixed
operating expenses are salaries, utilities, depreciation, and property taxes.)
(b) Financial leverage-
A magnification of earnings (E.A.T.) that results from having fixed
financial costs in the company. (The only type of fixed financial cost
considered here is interest expense.)
(c) Total or combined leverage-
A magnification of earnings that results from having fixed costs of any
type in the company.
Total Leverage = Operating Leverage x Financial Leverage
Formulas:-
72
Operating leverage is equal to the percentage change in operating income
divided by the percentage change in sales.
Financial leverage is equal to the percentage change in net income divided by
the percentage change in operating income.
Total leverage measures the percentage change in net income divided by the
percentage change in sales.
5. Time Value of Money :- Money has a time value. A rational person is
Not indifferent between having a dollar today or a dollar in the future.
Regardless of inflation, a dollar today can be invested and will earn a
return over a period of time.
6. Valuation :- The value of an asset is equal to the present value of its
Future cash flows. The rate used for the present value calculations (the
capitalization rate) should be the minimum acceptable return, given the
risk of the investment.
Value = Present Value of Future Cash Flows
Or
Value = Future Cash Flows x Present Value Factor
7. Bond Prices vs. Interest Rates : There is an inverse relationship between
market interest
Rates and the price of existing fixed income securities. e.g., as interest
rates rise, prices of existing bonds will fall.
73
8. Portfolio Effect (or Diversification) : As assets are added to a group
(portfolio), the risk of
the total portfolio decreases. This will be true as long as the correlation
of the asset being added and the portfolio is less than +1.0.
NEED OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT : -
With sound financial management, every entrepreneur can answer these
questions. Financial management helps you:
1. Obtain the financial statements you need to measure company success,
meet government requirements and gather information to use in making
management decisions.

ones.
3. Arrangement of funds through financial instruments like share, bonds,
etc.
74
4. Handle company finances to maximize profits and maintain liquidity and
financial stability, with or without increased sales.
5. Plan financially to achieve company and personal goals, including non-
financial company goals such as having the best place to work or offering
the best quality products and owner goals such as security, retirement or
leisure activities.
6. Protect company assets.
Function of financial management :-
The function of financial management may be classified on the
following bases:
I. Liquidity :- It is ascertained on the basis of three important
considerations:

sources from which funds may be raised at the time when these
funds are needed.

RATIO ANALYSIS
78
RATIO ANALYSIS
Meaning of Ratio Analysis:
The dictionary meaning of Analysis is “separation of breaking up of
anything into its elements or component parts.” Ratio analysis is therefore
a technique of analysis and interpreting various ratios for helping in
making certain decisions. It involves the methods of calculating and
interpreting financial ratios to assess the firm’s performance and status.
Definition of Ratio Analysis:
A Ratio is simply one number expressed in terms of another. It is a means
of highlighting in arithmetical terms the relationship between two figures
drawn from various financial statements.
The term “Ratio” refers to the numerical or quantitative relationship
between two variables or items. A ratio express simply in one number the
result of comparison between two figures. It is calculated by dividing one
figure by the other. The quotient so obtained is the ratio of figures.
79
Ratio can be expressed in the following three terms:
a) As Proportion
b) As Percentage
c) As Turnover or Rate
Ratio normally pinpoint a business strengths and weakness in two ways:
Comparison of present performance with past performance.
Comparing ratios of those of other business of the same size within
the same industry.
80
81
LIQUIDIY RATIO
Liquidity refers to the ability of a concern to meet its current
obligations as & when there becomes due. The short term obligations of a firm
can be met only when there are sufficient liquid assets. The short term
obligations are met by realizing amounts from current, floating (or)
circulating assets The current assets should either be calculated liquid (or) near
liquidity. They should be convertible into cash for paying obligations of short
term nature. The sufficiency (or) insufficiency of current assets should be
assessed by comparing them with short-term current liabilities. If current assets
can pay off current liabilities, then liquidity position will be satisfactory.
To measure the liquidity of a firm the following ratios can be calculated
Current ratio
Liquid ratio
Quick or Acid test ratio
1) CURRENT RATIO :-
Current ratio may be defined as the relationship between current assets
and current liabilities. This ratio also known as Working capital
ratio is a measure of general liquidity and is most widely used to make
the analysis of a short-term financial position (or) liquidity of a firm.
The standard Current Ratio is 2:1.
CURRENT RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS
CURRENT LIABILITY

2008-09 1.622
2009-10 1.332
Graph 1
INTERPRETATION :-
From above graph we can see that current ratio of Amul for the year 2006-
07, 2008-09 and 2009-10 are lower than previous year and also lower than
standard ratio.
This happened because of increase in current liabilities.
This ratio can be improved by
(a) Increase in equity share capital. (b)Retaining profits in business.
83
2) LIQUID RATIO :-
Although receivable, debtors and bills receivable are generally more
liquid than inventories, yet there may be doubts regarding their realization
into cash immediately or in time. Hence, absolute liquid ratio should also be
calculated together with current ratio and quick ratio so as to exclude even
receivables from the current assets and find out the absolute liquid assets.
The standard Liquid Ratio is 1.5:1.
LIQUID RATIO = LIQUID ASSETS
LIQUID LIABILITY

2009-10 0.827
Graph 2
INTERPRETATION :-
85
This ratio shows that the liquidity position of the AMUL is rising slowly
in 2009-10.And from graph we can see that the liquidity position of the Amul is
declining in 2008-09 as compared to previous year but this year though it is
higher than previous year, it is not up to standard ratio.
This ratio can be improved by reducing proportion of inventories and
increasing proportion of bank borrowings for working capital in current
liabilities.
3) QUICK OR ACID TEST RATIO:-
Quick ratio is a test of liquidity than the current ratio. The term liquidity
refers to the ability of a firm to pay its short-term obligations as & when they
become due. Quick ratio may be defined as the relationship between quick
or liquid assets and current liabilities. An asset is said to be liquid if it is
converted into cash with in a short period without loss of value.
The standard Liquid Ratio is 1:1.
QUICK RATIO = QUICK ASSETS
LIQUID LIABILITY

INTERPRETATION :-
Form above graph we can summarize that the quick ratio for the
2008-09 is lowest but in 2009-10 again it rises slowly.In 2005-06 Amul has
strongest position in terms of liquidity. During 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08 ,
this ratio is good as compared to standard ratio but in last two years, i.e. in
2008-09 and 2009-10, it is below the standard ratio. To improve this ratio, Amul
should retain its profit in business.
87
PROFITABILITY RATIO
The primary objectives of business undertaking are to profits.
Because profit is the engine, that drives the business enterprise.
Gross Profit Ratio
Net Profit Ratio
Operating Ratio
Return On Capital Employed
Return On Shareholders Fund
1) GROSS PROFIT RATIO:-
This ratio measures the gross earning of the company as compare to its
net sales .If the ratio is less it shows the in efficiency of companies
management.
The ratio shows whether the makeup obtained on cost of production is
sufficient. There is no standard showing reasonableness of gross profit ratio.
The standard Gross Profit Ratio is 25%
GROSS PROFIT RATIO = GROSS PROFIT * 100

INTERPRETATION:
89
Gross profit ratio shows the declining position of Amul year by year.
During all five years it is not satisfactory level. This happened because of
decline in gross profit year by year.
To improve this ratio, Amul should try to reduce sales price of its
products.
2) NET PROFIT RATIO :-
Net Profit Ratio measures the net earnings of the company as compared
to net sales of the company. The ratio is valuable for the purpose of ascertain
the overall profitability of business and shows the efficiency or otherwise of
operating the business. “The higher the ratio the better will be the profitability.

Graph 5
INTERPRETATION:-
Net profit ratio is very low of Amul then the ideal ratio.Net Profit Ratio is
rises for the year 2009-10. Amul is a co-operative society and so it distributes
its profit to farmers. So the net profit of Amul is not very high in all five years
and because of this net profit ratio shows declining position of the Amul.
Favorable change can take place due to reduction in tax rate, obtaining of
some relief/allowance/reduction in tax liability.
91
3) OPERATING RATIO It is ratio showing relationship between cost of goods sold, operating expense and net sales. It shows the efficiency of the management.
The standard Operating Ratio is 75 to 85%.
Operating Ratio= cost of goods sold + operating expenses x100 Net Sales

INTERPRETATION :-
Return on Capital Employed increases from year to year. This ratio
shows the better position to give return to is share holders and borrowed
capital.
The improvement in ratio can be brought about by improving profit
before tax, reduction in tax rate, reduction in long term funds including
equity.
5) RETURN ON SHARE HOLDERS FUND :-
94
It measures the return that the share holder gets as compared to their investment. It obtained by dividing return of net profit after tax by share holders fund. It is measured in percentage.
This ratio explains the relationship between the total profits earned by the business and total assets employed. This ratio thus measures the overall efficiency of the business operations.Return on Shareholders fund = Net profit after tax x100 Shareholders fund TABLE 8

95
From above graph we can see that every year Return on Shareholders Fund
increases. It shows that every year Amul is giving more and more return to
its shareholders. It helps to create goodwill in the market.
LEVERAGE RATIO
The second category of financial ratio is leverage or capital structure ratio
is leverage or capital structure ratio. The long term lenders / creditors would
judge the soundness of a firm on the basis of long term financial strength
measured in term of it’s ability to pay the interest regularly as well as repay the
instalment of the principal on due dates or in one limp sum at the times of
maturity. The long-term solvency of a firm can be examined by using leverage
or capital structure ratios. The leverage or capital structure ratios may be
defined as financial ratio, which throws light on the long-term solvency of firm
as reflected in its ability to assure the long-term lenders with regard to:
Periodic payment of interest as during the period of loan and
Repayment of principal o maturity or in predetermined instalment at
due dates.
Debt Equity Ratio
Proprietary Ratio
Interest Coverage Ratio
a) DEBT EQUITY RATIO :-
This ratio is only another form the proprietary ratio and establishing
relationship between outside long term Liabilities and owner’s fund. It shows
the proportion of long term external liabilities and owner’s fund.
The higher the ratio means that outside creditors have a larger claim than
the owners of the business. This ratio shows the proportion of long term
96
external liabilities and equities i.e. proportion of funds provided by share
holder or proprietors.
Debt equity Ratio = Debt

INTERPRETATION:-
97
There are ups and downs in five years in Debt Equity ratio. The ratio
shows that for every ownership capital of re.1, there is 3.14 Rs. Borrowed
capitals in 2005-06 and likewise. This does not shows the good position of
the company. It increases the financial risk of the Amul.
b) PROPRIETARY RATIO:-
This ratio indicates the relationship between proprietor’s fund and total
assets. The proprietor’s fund includes equity share capital, preference share
capital, reserves and accumulated surplus. Total assets include fixed, current
and fictitious assets.
This ratio is very important for creditors because they know the share of
proprietor’s fund in the total assets and how fair their loan is secured. The
highest ratio the more safety will be to the creditors.
Proprietary Ratio = Proprietor’s fund x 100

There is ups and downs in the propritory ratio during last five years.
During 2009-10, this ratio is much less than the previous years. This ratio
means that for every 100 Rs. Total assets, there is 8.88 shareholders fund
employed for fixed assets in 2009-10.this give less security to the creditors.
c) INTEREST COVERAGE RATIO :-
99
The ratio indicates as to how many times the profit covers the payment of
interest on debentures and other long-term loans.It measures the debt service
capacity of the firm in respect of fixed interest on long-term debts.Higher the
ratio more sound is the financial strength of the company.

INTERPRETATION:-
This ratio is better in this year than last four years. This shows good
position of the Amul. This means that Amul is able to pay interest on borrowed
capital. This shows financially strong position of the company.
ACTIVITY / TURNOVER RATIO
101
ACTIVITY RATIOS :-
Funds are invested in various assets in business to make sales and earn
profits. The efficiency with which assets are managed directly effect the
volume of sales. Activity ratios measure the efficiency (or)
effectiveness with which a firm manages its resources (or) assets. These
ratios are also called “Turn over ratios” because they indicate the speed with
which assets are converted or turned over into sales.
Inventory Turnover Ratio
Receivable Ratio
Debtors Turnover ratio
Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio
Payable Ratio
1) INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO :-
102
The number of times the average stock is turned over during the year is
known as stock turnover. It is computed by dividing the cost of goods sold by
average stock in the business.

INTERPRETATION :-
103
There are no far changes in the inventory turnover ratio. It is lowest in
2008-09. This year means in 2009-10 it has been increased. This means that
inventory is turned over for 8.79 times during this year. This shows increase in
sales of products so it is good position of the Amul.
2) RECEIVABLE RATIO :-
This ratio gives us idea about in how many days we are able to collect the
payment from our debtors.This ratio can be obtained dividing debtors by credit
sales and also multiplied by 365 days. So our answer will come in days.
RECEIVABLE RATIO = Debtors x 365 days
Credit Sales

This ratio shows the average days in which we will able to get a
payment from our debtors. The lower the days, it shows good position of the
company. It is lowest in 2008-09. In 2009-10, it increases by10 days i.e. 23
days. Compared to previous year it is not the good position but comparing with
2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08, this year the position of the company is good.
3) FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO :
To ascertain the efficiency and profitability of business the total fixed
assets the more compared to sales. The more the sales in relation to the amount
invested in fixed assets the more efficient is the use of fixed assets. It indicates
higher efficiency.
105
If sales are less as composed to investments in fixed assets it means that
fixed asset are not adequately utilized in business. An excessive sale is an
indication of over trading which is dangerous.
Fixed assets turnover Ratio = sales
Total assets

four years but this year has been declined. This does not show a good
position of Amul. It causes because of either increase in total assets or
decrease in net sales.
4) PAYABLE RATIO :-
The number of days within which we make payment to our creditors for
credit purchase it’s obtained by creditors’ ratio.
PAYABLE RATIO = CREDITORS X 365 DAYS

INTERPRETATION:-
Payable ratio shows that how many days the creditors are giving us for
payment. During last four years it was much lesser but in this year, it has been
tremendously increased. This shows good position of Amul. This may happen
because of increase in the goodwill of Amul.
UTILITY OF RATIO ANALYSIS
The use ratio was started by banks for ascertaining the liquidity and
Profitability of companies business for the purpose of advancing loans to
them. It gradually became popular and other creditor began to them. It
gradually became popular and other creditors began to use them
108
profitably. Now even the investors calculate ratios from the published
accounts of the company in order to have an idea about the solvency and
profitability of the company before investing their savings. The ratio
analysis provides useful data to the company before investing their
saving. The ratio analysis provides useful data to the management, which
groups of people make use of ratios, to determine a particular aspect of
the financial position of the company, in which they are interested.
1) PROFITABILITY:
Useful information about the trend of profitability is
available from profitability ratios. The gross profit ratio, net profit ratio
and ratio of return on these ratios, investment give a good idea of the
profitability of business, on the basis of these ratios, investors get an idea
about the overall efficiency of business as well as other creditors draw
useful conclusions about repaying capacity of the borrowers.
2) LIQUIDITY:
In fact the use of ratios was made initially to ascertain the
liquidity of business. The current ratio, liquid ratio and acid-test ratio will
liquidity of business. The current ratio, liquid ratio and acid-test ratio will
tell whether the business will be able to meet current liabilities as and
when they mature. Banks and other lenders will be able to conclude from
these ratios whether the firm will be to pay regularly the interest and loan
instalments.
3) EFFICIENCY:
109
The turnover ratios are excellent guides to measure the efficiency
of managers. E.g. the stock turnover will indicate how efficiently the sale
is being made, the debtor’s turnover will indicate the efficiency of
collection department and assets turnover shows the efficiency with
which the assets are used in business. All such ratios related to sales
present a indicate corrective measures.
4) INTER-FIRM COMPARISON:
The absolute ratios of a firm are not of much
use, unless they are compared with similar ratios of other firms belonging
to the same industry. This is inter-firm comparison, which shows the
strength and weakness of the firm as compared to other firms and will
indicate corrective.
5) INDICATE TREND:
The ratios of the last three to five year will indicate
the trend in the respective fields. For example, the current ratio of a firm
is lower than the industry average but if the ratio of last five years shows
an improving trend it is an encouraging trend. Reverse may also be true.
A particular ratio of a company for one year may compare favourably
With industry average but, if its trend shows a deteriorating position, it is
not desirable. Only ratio analysis will provide this informationn.
Advantages of Ratio Analysis:
110
The various advantages of ratio analysis are as follows:
A) Financial Forecasting and Planning:
Ratio analysis helps in the financial forecasting and planning
activities. Ratios based on the past sales are useful in planning the
financial position. Based on this, future trends are set.
B) Decision Making:
Ratio analysis throws light on the degree of efficiency. It is also
concerned with the management and utilization of the assets. Thus, it
enables for making strategic decision.
C) Comparison:
With the help of ratio analysis, ideal ratios can be composed. These
can be used for comparison in respect of the firm’s progress and
performance, inter-firm comparison with industry average.
D) Financial Solvency:
Ratios are useful tools. It indicates the trends in the financial solvency
of the firm. Long term solvency refers to the financial ability of a firm.
It can also evaluate the short term liquidity position of the firm.
111
E) Communication:
The financial strength and weaknesses of a firm are communicated in
a more easy and understandable manner by the use of ratios. The
information contained in the financial statements is conveyed in a
meaningful manner. It thus helps in the communication and enhances
the value of the financial statements.
F) Efficiency Evaluation:
It evaluates the overall efficiency of the business entity. Ratio analysis
is an effective instrument which, when properly used, is useful to
assess important characteristics of business liquidity, solvency,
profitability. A critical study of these aspects may enable conclusions
relating to capabilities of business.
G) Control:
It helps in making effective control of the business. Actual results can
be compared with the established standard and to take corrective
action at the right time.
H) Other Uses:
Financial ratios are very helpful in the early and proper diagnosis and
financial health of the firm.
112
Importance & Uses of Ratio Analysis :-
The importance of ratio analysis ties in the fact that it presents on a
comparative basis and enables the drawing of inference or conclusions
regarding the performance of a firm with respect to the following aspects:
Liquidity Position:
With the help of ratio analysis, conclusions can be drawn regarding the
liquidity position of a firm. The firm would be considered in a good
liquidity position, if it were able to meet its current obligation when they
become due. The firm should maintain enough liquid funds with it so that
it can pay off the short term liquidity without affecting its creditability.
Long Term Solvency:
Ratio analysis is equally useful for assessing the long term financial need
of a firm. This aspect of the financial of a borrower is of concern to the
long term creditors, security analysis and the present and potential
investor. However, the measure of this ratio highly depends on the sales
generated by the use of a assets of the firm.
Operation Efficiency:
The long term solvency is measure by the leverage, capital structure and
profitability ratios which focus on earning power and operating
efficiency. Ratio analysis shows the strength and weaknesses of a firm in
the respect. Ratio analysis enables a firm to the dimensions in to account.
In the words, whether the financial position of the firm is improving or
113
not over the years. This is made possible by the use of trend analysis lies
in the fact that the analysis can know the direction of the movement.
Over All Profitability:
Unlike the outside parties that are interested in one aspect of the financial
position of a firm the management is constantly about the overall
profitability of the enterprise.
Inter-Firm Comparison:
One of the popular techniques is to compare the industry average. It
should be in broad conformity with that of the industry to which it
belongs. An inter firm comparison would demonstrate the relative
position vis-à-vis its competitors. Analysis provides data for inter-firm
comparison. Patios high light the factors associated with successful and
unsuccessful firms. They also show strong firms and weak firms
overvalued & undervalued firms.
Trend Analysis:
The significance of a trend analysis of ratios lies in the fact that the
analysis can know the direction of movement i.e. whether the movement
is favorable or unfavorable.
Simplifies Financial Statements:
114
Ratio analysis simplifies the comprehension of financial statements.
Ratios tell the whole story of change in the financial condition of the
business.
Limitations of Ratio Analysis:
1. The user should possess the practical knowledge about the
concerns and the industry in general.
2. Ratios are not an end. They are only means to an end.
3. A single ratio in itself is not important. The trend is more
significant in the analysis. Comparison of ratios should be made.
4. For comparative purposes, there should be a standard ratio. There
is no such standard prescribed for the ratios.
5. The accuracy and correctness of ratios are totally dependent upon
the reliability of the data contained in the financial statement on the
basis of which ratios are calculated.
6. To use ratios, first of all there should be uniformity in the
accounting plan used by both the firms.
7. Ratios become meaningless if detached from the details from
which they are derived. They should be used as supplementary and
not substitution of the original absolute figures.
115
8. Time lag in calculation and communicating the same should not be
unnecessarily too much.
9. The method of presentation should be precise and without any
ambiguity.
METHODS AND CLASSIFICATION OF RATIOS
Accounting ratios are generally classified as follows:
A) Traditional classification or classification according to the type of
financial statements.
B) Functional classification.
A) Traditional Classification:
116
The ratio are grouped into three categories the on the basis of the
statements from which the figures are taken for computing the ratios. It is
well-known traditional classification and has been so grouped since the
ratio analysis. The ratios according to this classification are:
1. Revenue Statement Ratios:
These are the ratios computed on the basis of items taken from
revenue statement i.e. Profit and Loss Account. E.g. Net Profit
Ratio is computed by dividing net profit by sales. Here both net
profit and sales are items appearing in profit and loss account.
2. Balance Sheet Ratios:
When two items or groups of items appearing in the balance sheet
are compared the ratio so obtained is balance sheet. E.g. A ratio
establishing relationship between current assets and current
liabilities is a balance sheet ratio.
3. Composite Ratios:
A ratio showing the relationship between one item taken from
balance sheet and another taken from profit and loss account is a
composite ratio or a combined ratio knows as balance sheet and
revenue statement ratio. A return on capital employed shows the
proportion of net profit to capital employed and it is a composite
ratio.
117
B) Functional Classification:
Ratios are also grouped in accordance with the certain tests. On this basis
there are four categories:
1. Liquidity Ratios:
These ratios indicate the position of liquidity. They are computed to
ascertain whether the company is capable of liquidity. For example,
current ratio shows the capacity firm to meet its current liabilities as and
them when mature. E.g. (1) Current Ratio (2) Liquidity Ratio (3) Acid-
Test Ratio
2. Profitability Ratio:
A number of ratios are designed to indicate the profitability ratio.
3. Leverage Ratios:
The composition of capital of business and the proportion of owner’s
capital and capital provided by outsiders are reflected by leverage ratios.
4. Activity or Efficiency Ratios:
These are the ratios showing the effectiveness with which the resources
of the business are employed. It signifies the efficiency of the
management.

Financial Management
Financial management is that managerial activity which is concerned with the
planning and controlling of the firm financial resources.
Financial management deals with procurement of funds and their effective
utilization in the business.
Financial management is concerned with the management decisions that result
in the acquisition and financing of short term and long term credits for the firm.
Financial management constitutes risk, cost and control. The cost of funds
should be at minimum for a proper balancing of risk and control.
PHILIPPATUS has given a more elaborate definition of the term
financial management. According to him “Financial management is concerned
with the managerial decision that results in the acquisition and financing of
long-term and short-term credits for the firms. As such as it deals with the
situations that require selection of specific assets, the selection of specific
liability as well as the problem of size and growth of an enterprise. The analysis
of these decisions is based on the expected inflows and outflows of funds and
effects up on managerial objectives. ”
Thus, Financial management is mainly concerned with the proper
management of funds. Above information I collected from the book “Financial
management principles & practise.” By Dr. S.N.Maheshwari. The revised and
enlarged second edition of the book under review is exhaustive in every sense
and covers a large spectrum of financial management.
120
“Financial management principles & practice.” Book is written by Dr.
S.N.Maheshwari. And this book is published by sultan chand & sons from
New Delhi Dr. S.N.Maheshwari are director of Delhi Institute of Advanced
Studies, Delhi.
The management accountant may 1992 having introduced the subject
the author moves on the various financial tools available such as ratio analysis,
cash flows analysis, fund flow analysis etc and their uses in financial
management. His approaches to the tool of analysis and their application prove
his mastery over the subject.
“Finance is one of the most primary requisitions of a business and the
modern management obliviously depends largely on the efficient management
of the finance.” The theory and practice are copiously illustrated with all sorts
of anticipated problems. The book is divided in to seven section namely,
foundations of finance; financial analysis, cost analysis, funds management;
miscellaneous; advanced solved problems; and advanced unsolved problem. All
relevant topics are analysed in every lucid and understandable language,
required no further clarification..

This is a comprehensive text book for students studying various coerces. The
readers for whom this book is meant will find this publication comprehensive
and useful. The author and the publishers deserve our heartly congratulations
for a job well done.
- International Review of Finance, July – Dec., 1992 (vol-5, No.2)
About the three decades ago, the scope of financial management was
confined to the raising of funds, whenever needed and little significance used to
be attached to financial decision-making and problem solving. As
consequences, the traditional finance texts were structured around this theme
and contained description of the instruments and institutions of raising funds
and of the major events, such as promotions, reorganisations, readjustment,
merger, consolidation etc., when funds were raised.
In the mid-fifties, the emphasis shifted to the judicious utilization of
funds. The modern thinking in financial management accords a far greater
importance to management decision making and policy. Today, financial
manager do not perform the passive role of store keeper of financial data and
information, and arranging funds, whenever directed to do so. Rather they
occupy key positions in top management areas and play a dynamic role in
solving complex management problems. They are now responsible for shaping
the fortunes of the enterprise and are involved in the most vital management
decision of allocation of capital. It is their duties to ensure that the funds are
raised most economically and used in the most efficient and effective manner
because of this change in emphasis, the descriptive treatment of the subject of
122
financial management is being replaced by a grouping analytical content and
sound theoretical understandings.
Above description and researchers explained in the Book of
I.M.Pandey, is “Financial management” in its eight editions like in its previous
editions high light the “modern” approach to financial decision-making. The
book discusses the theories, concepts, assumptions and mechanics underlying
financial decisions, viz. Investment financing dividend and working capital
management. It also discusses sources and instruments of short-term and long-
term financers, mergers and acquisitions, international financial management
and the corporate policies.
“Financial management” in eight editions is written by I.M.Pandey.
I.M.Pandey holds a PhD (1977) from the Delhi School of economics,
university of Delhi. He joined the Indian Institute of management, Ahmadabad
(IIMA) in 1980. Where he was a professor of finance. He has also taught at the
school of management. Asian institute of technology, Bangkok, Thailand (1994-
96); college of Business Administration, Kans as state university, Kansas, USA
(1984-85); Paris school of management ESCP, Paris, France; and graduate
school of management – ESSFC, clergy, France. He was also a visiting scholar
at the Department of finance, university of Birmingham, UK.

Ratio Analysis
According to westom and Birmingham, in their Book
managerial finance, 5th edition P.172 and Smith K.V.S. Book management of
ratio analysis is concerned with the term ratio analysis I concerned with the
term ratio refers to the number or quantitative relationship between two item
and variables.
Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. It is
defined as the systematic use of ratio to interpret the fined statement, so that the
strengths & weaknesses of the forms as well as its historical performance &
current financial condition can be determined.
The importance of ratio analysis ties in the fact that it presents on
a comparative basis and enables the drawing of inference or concussions
regarding the performance of a firm with respect to the ratio analysis.
The firm would be considered in a good liquidity position, if it
were able to meet its current obligation when they become due. The firm should
maintain enough liquid funds with it so that it can pay off the short term
liquidity without affecting its creditability.
124
According to Horne James.c.van in his book financial
management & policy 3rd edition P 445.
“The relationship of one item to another expressed in a sample
mathematical from is known as Ratio”
Ratio analysis is the method to studying the performer of the firm
over a number of years on the basis of ratio.
Ratio analysis is equally useful for assessing the long term
financial need of a firm. This aspect of the financial of a borrower is of concern
to the long term creditors, security analysis and the present and potential
inventors. However, the measure of this ratio highly depends on the sales
generated by the use of a assets of the firm.
With the help of ratio analysis, conclusions can be drawn
regarding the liquidity position of a firm. The firm would be considered in a
good liquidity position, if it were able to meet its current obligation when they
become due. The firm should maintain enough liquid funds with it so that it can
pay off the short term liquidity without affecting its creditability
Analysis of statement means such a treatment of information
contained is two defined financial statement of methodical classification,
comparison raising pertinent operation and seeking answers of them.

Research
Research extends knowledge of human beings, social life and
environment. The search is for answers for various types of questions: What,
Where, How and Why of various phenomena, and enlighten us.
Research brings to light information that might never be discovered
fully during the ordinary course of life.
D.slesinger and M.Stephenson in the Encyclopedia of social
sciences define research as “ the manipulation of things, concepts or
symbols for the purpose of generalizing to expand, correct or verify
knowledge, whether that knowledge aids in construction of theory or in the
practice of an art.”
Research simply means a search for facts- answers to questions and
solutions to problems. Research as “a scientific undertaking which, by
means of logical and systematic techniques, which aims to:
Research establishes generalizations and general laws and contributes
to theory building in various fields of knowledge. Research verifies and tests
existing facts and theory and these help improving our knowledge and ability to
handle situations and events.
126
It is a fact-finding study. It is a method of research involving collection
of data directly from a population or a sample thereof at particular time. its
purpose is to provide information, explain phenomena, to make comparisons
and concerned with cause and effect relationships can be useful for making for
predications.
It is a study of past records and other information sources with a view to
reconstructing the origin and development of an institution or a movement or a
system and discovering the trends in the part. Research aims to analyze inter-
relationship between variables and to derive casual explanations and thus
enables us to have a better understanding of the world which we live.
Applied research aims at finding solution to problems… socio-
economic problems, health problems, human relations problems in organization
and so on.

Introduction
Research extends knowledge of human beings, social life and environment. The
search is for answers for various types of questions: What, Where, How and
Why of various phenomena, and enlighten us.
Research brings to light information that might never be discovered fully during
the ordinary course of life.
Research establishes generalizations and general laws and contributes to theory
building in various fields of knowledge.
Research verifies and tests existing facts and theory and these help improving
our knowledge and ability to handle situations and events.
General laws developed through research may enable us to make reliable
prediction of events yet to happen.
Research aims to analyze inter-relationship between variables and to derive
casual explanations and thus enables us to have a better understanding of the
world which we live.
Applied research aims at finding solution to problems… socio-economic
problems, health problems, human relations problems in organization and so on.
129
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
1. Experimental research
It is designed to asses the effects of particular variables on a
phenomenon by keeping the other variables constant or controlled.
2. Analytical study
It is a system of procedures and techniques of analysis applied to
quantitative data.
3. Historical research
It is a study of past records and other information sources with a view
to reconstructing the origin and development of an institution or a
movement or a system and discovering the trends in the part.
130
4. Survey
It is a fact-finding study. It is a method of research involving collection
of data directly from a population or a sample thereof at particular time.
its purpose is to provide information, explain phenomena, to make
comparisons and concerned with cause and effect relationships can be
useful for making for predications.
MODE OF ANALYSIS
As stated earlier by analysis we mean the computation of certain indices
or measures along with searching for patterns of relationship. That exists
among the data groups. Analysis, particularly in case of survey or
experimental data, involves estimating the values of unknown parameters
of the population and testing of hypotheses for drawing inferences.
Analysis may, therefore, be categorized as often known as statistical and
inferential analysis “descriptive analysis is largely the study of
distributions of one variable. This study provides us with profiles of
companies, work groups, persons and other subjects on any of a multitude
of characteristics such as size, composition, efficiency, preferences, etc.
131
this sort of analysis may be in respect of one variable or in respect of two
variables or in respect of more than two variables.
(A) Multiple regression analysis:
This analysis is adopted when the researcher has one depending variable
which is presumed to be a function of two or more independent variables.
(B) multiple discriminate analysis:
This analysis is appropriate when the research has a single dependent
variable that cannot be measured, but can be classified into two or more
groups on the basis of some attribute.
( C) multivariate analysis of variance:
This analysis is an extension of two-way ANOVA.
(D) canonical analysis:
This analysis can be used in case of both measurable and non-measurable
variables for the purpose of simultaneously predicting a set.
132
SAMPLING DESIGN
1. Type of universe:
The first step in developing any sample design is to clearly define the set
of objects, technically called the universe, to be studied.
2. sampling unit:
A decision has to be taken concerning a sampling unit before selecting
sample. Sampling unit may be a geographical one such as state, district,
village, etc.
3. source list:
It is also knows as “sampling frame” from which sample is to be drawn.
It contains the names of all items of a universe. If source list is not
available, researcher has to prepare it.
133
4. size of sample:
This refers to the number of items to be selected from the universe to
constitute a sample. This is a major problem before a research. The size
of sample should neither be excessively large, nor too small.
5. parameters of interest:
In determining the sample design, one must consider the question of the
specific population parameters which are of interest. For instance, we
may be interested in estimating the proportion of persons with some
characteristic in the population, or we may be interested in knowing some
average or the other measure concerning the populat
6. budgetary constraint:
Cost considerations, from practical point of view, have a major impact
upon decisions relating to not only the size of the sample but also to the
type of sample.
134
RESEARCH DESIGN
“A research design is the arrangement of condition for collection and
analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the
research purpose with economy in procedure.”
a. Keeping in view the above stated design decisions, one may split
the overall research design into the following parts:
b. The sampling design which deals with the method of selecting
items to be observed for the given study.
c. The observation design which relates to the condition under which
the observations are to be made.
d. The statistical design which concerns with the question of how
many items are to be observed.
e. The operational design which deals with the techniques by which
the procedures specified in the sampling, statistical and
observational design can be carried out.
135
Important features
Form what has been stated above, we can state the important features a
research design as under:
I. It is a plan that specifies the source and types of information
relevant to the research problem.
II. It is a strategy specifying which approach will be used for
gathering and analyzing the data.
III. It also includes the time and cost budget since most studies are
done under these two constraints.
DATA COLLECTION SOURCES
(a) Primary sources and
(b) Secondary sources.
136
A. PRIMARY SOURCES OF DATA
Primary sources are original sources from which the researcher directly
collects data that have not been previously e.g. collection of data directly
by the researcher on brand awareness, brand preference, brand loyalty
and other aspects of consumer behaviour from a sample of consumers by
interviewing them, primary data are information collected through
various method such as observation, interviewing, mailing etc.
Primary data are directly collected by the researcher from their original
sources. In this case, the research can collect the required data precisely
according to his research needs, he can collect them when he wants them
and in the from he needs them.
B. SECONDARY SOURCE OF DATA
There are sources containing data have been collected and compiled for
another purpose. The secondary sources consists of readily
compendia and already compiled statements and reports whose data may
be used by researchers for their studies.
137
Secondary sources consist of not only published records and reports but
also unpublished. The letter category includes various and registers
maintained by the firms and organizations.
SAMPLING METHOD
Probability or random sampling:
Probability sampling is based on the theory of probability. it is also
known as random sampling. It provides a known nonzero chance of
selection for each population element. It is used when generalization is
the objective of study, and a greater degree of accuracy of estimation of
population parameters is required. The cost and time required is high
hence the benefit derived from it should justify the costs.
1. Simple random sampling:
This sampling technique gives each element an equal and independent
chance of being selected. an equal chance means equal probability of
selection. An independent chance means equal probability of will not
affect the chances of other elements being selected. The procedure of
138
drawing a simple random sampling consists of enumeration of all
elements, in the population.
Suitability:
This type of sampling is suited for a small homogeneous population.
Advantages:
The advantage of this is that it is one of the easiest methods, all the
elements in the population have an equal chance of being selected, simple
to understand, does not require prior knowledge of the true composition
of the population.
Disadvantages:
It is often impractical because of non-availability of population list or of
difficulty in enumerating the population, does not ensure proportionate
representation and it may be expensive in time and money. The amount
of sampling error associated with any sample drawn can easily be
139
computer. But it is greater then that in other probability samples of the
same size, because it is less precise than other methods.
2. STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLING:
There is improved type of random or probability sampling. In this
method, the population is sub-divided into homogenous groups or strata,
and from each stratum, random sample is drawn. . stratification is
necessary for increasing a sampling sub population and applying different
method to different strata. The stratified random sampling is appropriated
for a large heterogeneous population. Stratification process involves three
major decisions. They are stratification base or bases. Number of strata
and strata sample sizes.
Stratified random sampling may be classified into:
A) proportionate stratified sampling:
This sampling involves drawing a sampling from stratum in proportion
to the latter’s share in the total population. it gives proper representation
to each stratum and its statistical efficiency is generally higher. This
method is therefore very popular.
140
B) Disproportionate stratified random sampling:
This method does not give proportionate representation to strata. it
necessarily involver giving over-representation to some and under
representation to other. The desirability of disproportionate sampling is
usually determined by three factors.
3. Systematic random sampling:
This method of sampling is an alternative to
random selection. It consists of taking Kth item in the population after a
random starts with an item form 1 to k. it is also knows as fixed interval.
It possesses characteristics of randomness and some non-probability
traits.
SAMPLE SIZE
In sampling analysis the most ticklish question is: what should be the size
of the sample or how large or small should be ‘n’ ? if the sample size is
too small, it may not serve to achieve the objectives and if it is too large,
we may incur huge cost and waste resources. As a general rule, one can
say that the sample must be of an optimum size i.e., it should neither be
excessively large nor too small. Technically the sample size should be
large enough to give a chosen by some logical process before sample is
taken from the universe.
141
SAMPLE AREA
This is an important from of cluster sampling. In larger field surveys
cluster consisting of specific geographical areas like districts, talus,
villages or blocks in a city are randomly drawn. as the geographical areas
are selected as sampling units in such cases their sampling is called area
sampling. It is not a separate method of sampling, but form part of cluster
sampling
SAMPLE UNIT:
In the sample unit would include the customers of anand and other areas
also those who use it products sample.

FINDINGS
143
FINDINGS
After completion of my project there is no doubt that Amul is a very good
co-operative sector in India that truly work for farmer who attached with the
union and who are the members of union. Union is also linked with social
services and it department are working well and help to union to reach towards
top position.
From working capital and operating cycle the following conclusion can
be drawn.
The working capital requirement of Amul is financed through raising the
cash credit loans and the short term loans.
Amul is following conservative policy to finance its current assets.
A large operating cycle due to high working in –process conversion period, high
finished goods conversion period and lower payable deferral period
A company has not arranged proper C.A. is increase not due to one
element. But it is due to more increase in inventory or due to more increase in
cash and bank.
144
Amul’s G.W.C. is made up of three current assets – stock, advances &
debtors, cash & bank balance, investment in current assets is increasing with the
increasing level of business activities. There is a significant increase in
investment in 2007-08.
The margin by which current assets cover short term obligation i.e.
current liabilities are more in year 2008-09 and while it was relative less in
2007-08. The position of current assets which can be finance through long term
sources has increased by 42% as compare to previous year.
There is a significant change in the W.I.P. conversion period as well as
finished goods conversion period increase 2 days in 2007-08. The company has
efficient in reducing WIP conversion period. But the F.G.C.P. is larger. This
result into larger operating cycle of Amul.
145
LIMITATION OF STUDY
The study is based on the information received and analysis done during this
training period only.
The study is based on the available data of last 3 Years.
The study is fully based on secondary data.
146
RECOMMENDATIONS
147
RECOMMENDATIONS
Amul is following conservative policy to finance its current assets. The
firm should increase the investment in current assets to improve on its credit
standing.
Amul should try to reduce raw materials and finished goods period by
reducing inventory level. Amul should try having to collect debtors
quickly.
Amul should control the inventory level. It should increase C.A. and
decrease the level of CL, because the quick ratio taking too much time.
Amul has big consumer market in overall country as well as abroad
increase in product mix will give more privileges to Amul.
Transpiration of the milk should be accurate that wastage of milk can be
avoided.
Amul should increase the procurement of milk by increasing the number
of village societies.
148
Amul should concentrate more on inventory or we can say that stock
because in the CA, inventory’s demand has higher position.
Amul should increase its sales by different sales promotion scheme. It
organization can not decrease the lead time period. It should pay attention
on sales side and promote.
The local milk producers should receive price for the milk to retain him.
In this industry, also motivate him to increase the daily production as
most of the milk producers are marginal farmers. At the same time the
retailer price of the milk and milk producer should be maintained at an
affordable price.
149
CONCLUSION
150
CONCLUSION
Amul is a successful co-operative dairy and it becomes a household
name in India and abroad, we visited this unit. So we feel satisfactory on our
modest efforts. During my visit in this unit. I observed the Amul is more
progressive sector; at present its biggest dairy in Asia. The unit has bright future
because if it’s scientific and flexible management. The unit turnover is increase
day by day.
Amul has a symbol of “Tie of four hands” which means co-operation of
success.
Producers.
Processors.
Marketers.
Customers.
India has emerged as the highest Milk Producing Country in the
world.
The Dairy Industry in India is considered to be a category, which has
been Growing & Profitable.
151
The Major Markets for Export of Dairy products from India include
Germany, USA, UAE, & Nepal.
Indian Dairy Products play a significant role in the socio – Economic
& Religious activities of our population.
AMUL is well poised to steer the Dairy Co- operative Sector into an
era of further prosperity & Growth.
AMUL have been serving as the “ROLE MODEL” for Dairy Co-
operatives across the world.
Since inception of Co – operative movement 1946, AMUL is having
Flag bearers of a uniquely successful experiment which provides
stability to marginal farm incomes & lends security to the socio –
economic future of the nation.
India is progressing day by day to achieve the highest position of
“MAHA SATTA” in near future.
152
Amul is really a great organization which distributes all its profit among
its members. Those who supply milk to Amul. It would perhaps be the first
organization in the India to run successfully on the co-operative basis.
Amul is a highly successful co-operative sector in world since last
60 years Amul has built up its own personality that portrays its true image. But
still there are certain avenues which it taken care can take the organization to
higher standards.
Special seminar should be arranged 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 proud for people of Anand as
well as India Amul are really “The taste of India”.
Thus, Amul is the successful co-operative organizations running with
automation still providing full employment opportunities. Amul because of its
efforts has obtained the HACCP ISO 9002 certificate.
153
Working capital management or current assets management is one of the
most important aspects of the overall financial management. There are many
determined which affect the working capital requirements of the firm like nature
of business, technology and manufacturing policy, market and demand
condition etc.
According to my point success factor being Amul is hardworking,
disciplinary, co-operative structure, production, technology, development.
