EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The main objective of summer training was given by the Management of Amul. The
objective was “CONSUMER BEHAVIOR & SATISFACTION.”

And then at last I worked with questionnaire a sample size of 50 respondents was taken for
the study whose responses were studied and interpreted .The sampling design was used
convenience sampling. The process of analysis was done through excel work sheets,
frequency table, percentage analysis etc.

During the preparation of questionnaire I faced difficulties regarding the selection of
questions and in collection of the data I found some difficulties like the customers had no
time to give.

There is one thing that I have found that the peoples working at AMUL are very much
helpful in all areas. Every time they come to me and told me that they are available at any
time for me for anything, which really boost me and motivates me towards my goal and
objectives. The culture of AMUL is very much friendly.




                                                                                              52
CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION




               52
In the year 1946 the first milk union was established. This union was started with 250 litres of
milk per day. In the year 1946 the union was known as KAIRA DISTRICT CO-
OPERATIVE MILK PRODUCERS’ UNION.

Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers' Union Limited was the First Co-operative
Milk Producers' Union started in Gujarat, formed in Kheda district, whose founding chairman
was social worker, Tribhovandas Patel

Its success, also known as Anand Pattern led to creation of District Co-operative Milk
Producers' Union at each district, created Amul (Anand Milk Union Limited) in 1946

In 1970, initiated White Revolution of India, as it help create, Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing
Federation Ltd., which now overlooks Amul, in 1973 , and today, it is the second best dairy in
                                                      [1]

This union selected the brand name AMUL in 1955.

The brand name Amul means “AMULYA”. This word derived from the Sanskrit word
“AMULYA” which means “PRICELESS”. A quality control expert in Anand had suggested
the brand name “AMUL”. Amul products have been in use in millions of homes since 1946.
Amul Butter, Amul Milk Powder, Amul Ghee, Amul spray, Amul Cheese, Amul Chocolates,
Amul Shrikhand, Amul Ice cream, Nuts Amul, Amul Milk and Amulya have made Amul a
leading food brand in India..Today Amul is a symbol of many things like of the high-quality
products sold at reasonable prices.

In the early 40’s, the main sources of earning for the farmers of Kaira district were farming
and selling of milk. That time there was high demand for milk in Bombay. The main supplier
of the milk was Polson dairy limited, which was a privately owned company and held
monopoly over the supply of milk at Bombay from the Kaira district. This system leads to
exploitation of poor and illiterates’ farmers by the private traders. The traders used to beside
the prices of milk and the farmers were forced to accept it without uttering a single word.

However, when the exploitation became intolerable, the farmers were frustrated. They
collectively appealed to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who was a leading activist in the freedom
movement. Sardar Patel advised the farmers to sell the milk on their own by establishing a
co-operative union, Instead of supplying milk to private traders. Sardar Patel sent the farmers
to Shri Morarji Desai in order to gain his co-operation and help. Shri Desai held a meeting at
Samarkha village near Anand, on 4th January 1946. He advised the farmers to form a society




                                                                                                       52
for collection of the milk. These village societies would collect the milk themselves and
would decide the prices at which they can sell the milk.

The district union was also form to collect the milk from such village cooperative societies
and to sell them. It was also resolved that the Government should be asked to buy milk from
the union.

However, the govt. did not seem to help farmers by any means. It gave the negative response
by turning down the demand for the milk. To respond to this action of govt., the farmers of
Kaira district went on a milk strike. For 15 whole days not a single drop of milk was sold to
the traders. As a result the Bombay milk scheme was severely affected. The milk
commissioner of Bombay then visited Anand to assess the situation. Having seemed the
condition, he decided to fulfil the farmers demand.

Thus their cooperative unions were forced at the village and district level to collect and sell
milk on a cooperative basis, without the intervention of Government. Mr. Verghese Kurien
showed main interest in establishing union who was supported by Shri Tribhuvandas Patel
who lead the farmers in forming the Cooperative unions at the village level. The Kaira district
milk producers union was thus established in ANAND and was registered formally on 14th
December 1946. Since farmers sold all the milk in Anand through a co-operative union, it
was commonly resolved to sell the milk under the brand name AMUL.

At these initial stage only 250 litres of milk was collected every day. But with the growing
awareness of the benefits of the cooperativeness, the collection of milk increased. Today
Amul collect 11 lakhs litres of milk every day. Since milk was a perishable commodity it
becomes difficult to preserve milk flora longer period. Besides when the milk was to be
collected from the far places, there was a fear of spoiling of milk. To overcome this problem
the union thought out to develop the chilling unit at various junctions, which would collect
the milk and could chill it, so as to preserve it for a longer period. Thus, today Amul has more
than 150 chilling centres in various villages. Milk is collected from almost 1073 societies.




                                                                                                   52

Amul is going places. Literally after having established its presence in China, Mauritius and
Hong Kong, Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), India’s largest milk
cooperative, is waiting to flood the Japanese market.
Then, GCMMF is also looking at Sri Lanka as one of its next export destinations. Amul
products are already available on shelves across several countries, including the US, China,
Australia, West Asian countries and Africa.
  GCMMF recorded a turnover of Rs 2,922 crore last fiscal. Its products include pouch milk,
ultra heat treated (UHT) milk, ice-cream, butter, cheese and buttermilk.

PEOPLE POWER: AMUL'S SECRET OF SUCCESS


The system succeeded mainly because it provides an assured market at remunerative prices
for producers' milk besides acting as a channel to market the production enhancement
package. What's more, it does not disturb the agro-system of the farmers. It also enables the
consumer an access to high quality milk and milk products. Contrary to the traditional
system, when the profit of the business was cornered by the middlemen, the system ensured
that the profit goes to the participants for their socio-economic upliftment and common good.

Looking back on the path traversed by Amul, the following features make it a pattern and
model for emulation elsewhere.

Amul has been able to:

           •   Produce an appropriate blend of the policy makers farmers board of
               management and the professionals: each group appreciating its rotes and
               limitations,

               and harness its fruit for betterment.
           •   Provide a support system to the milk producers without disturbing their agro-
               economic systems,
           •   Plough back the profits, by prudent use of men, material and machines, in the
               rural sector for the common good and betterment of the member producers and

       (7)     Prepare research report.
       (8)     Follow-up the study.




RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:-



RESEARCH PROBLEM
    Seek the general perception of consumer towards Amul products
    To know the consumer psyche and their behaviour towards Amul products

ABOUT THE TOPIC:-
CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR:-



      It is defined as all psychological, social and physical behavior of potential customers
       as they become aware, evaluate, purchase, consume, and tell to others about product
       and services.



                                                                                                 52
 Buying behavior involves both individual (psychological) and group process.

          o Buyer behavior       is reflected from awareness right through post purchase
              evaluation indicating satisfaction and non satisfaction , from purchaser

          o Buyer behavior includes communication, purchasing and consumption
              behavior

          o Consumer behavior is basically social in nature hence the social factors play
              important roles in shaping buying behavior

          o Buyer behavior includes both customer and industrial behavior.



“Hence consumer behavior is an orderly process whereby the consumer interacts with
the environment for making a purchase decision on products “




CONCEPT & NEED FOR STUDYING CONSUMER BEHAVIOR:-

Consumer behaviour can be said to be the study of how individual make decision on how to
spend their available resources (time, money, effort) on various consumption related items.
This simple definition of consumer behaviour tells the markets to resolve every activity
around the ultimate consumers & gauge their behaviour by specially focusing on:

               Who buys products or services?
               How do they buy products or services?
               Where do they buy them?
               How often they buy them?
               Why do they buy them?
               How often they use them?




                                                                                              52
These questions will help in understanding better what factors influences the decision
 making process of the customers. The decision making process identifies the number of
 people who are involve in this process & describes a role to them like users, decides,
 influences & buyers.

It is believed that consumers or customers make purchase decision on the basis of receipt of a
small number of selectivity chosen pieces of information. Thus it will be very important to
understand what & how mush them to evaluate the goods & services offerings.



CONSUMER DECISION MAKING PROCESS:-

           Stimuli- need, reasons, influences, gathering information

           Information processing- process , analyze information about product

           Decision making - on the basis of analysis , decision to go for

           Response- response to buy without any prejudice

           For industrial buyers the process is almost similar only with addition of re-buy,
           modified re buy or new task.




FACTOR INFLUENCING BUYING BEHAVIOR:-

           Individual factors

          Cognitive thinking process – perception , attitudes , Needs/motives

          Personal characteristics – demography, lifestyles ,personal traits

          Environmental factors

Suggestions and Recommendations -




RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING PLACE


Milk consumer values from delivery and a lot of distributors are already providing this

facility. Milk plant should think of giving extra Commission to its dealers for ensuring such

facilities. This scheme can be implemented in few areas and if there is an increase in

consumption of milk then it can be extended to all other areas catered by milk plant. There is

need to communicate regularly and taking feedback from agents. Monthly meetings will help

in improving the relation with dealers. The declaration of the prices like “Fastest Growing

Dealer” OR “Highest selling Dealer” can be announced bi monthly or bi annually to motivate

dealers to increase their sales.


RECOMMENDATION REGARDING PROMOTION

The following steps can be taken in the field of promotion:


Using electronic and print media for information dissemination: In recent days, there has

been lots of new highlighting adulteration of food products that is making people sceptical

about packed food products. Special programs highlighting supply chain of milk producers

‘ cooperatives can be screened and telecasted on TV from time to time .news highlighting

achievement of milk plant can also be published in news papers which will help in creating

favourable image for verka products.



2) Inviting people for plant visits on weekends:




                                                                                                 52
Plant can be opened to general public for visit on Saturday and Sunday for a limited time
interval in order to win their trust on verka products. This can be done through collaborating
with Radio Fm channels where winners can get free visits and some limited period coupons.




3) Toll free telephone for customer feedback:


Presently verka products have a telephone number printed on their packs but this is not toll
free. A toll free number should be there and printed in such a colour or font that is easily
differentiable from the rest of the text on the pack.




Recommendations regarding pricing:

Following suggestions can be considered for improving pricing

Strategies of companies:

1) Introduction of coupon system;

Milk is the commodity that is daily bought and consumed within households. It is

cumbersome for consumers to make payment daily as change for currency is not available at

times. There are offered candies in return for change which many of the consumers do not

Like. This problem can be solved by introducing milk coupon which can be bought from

agencies. Coupon system has been successfully implemented by several individual

distributors in their respective areas. It is needed to be implemented in entire city.


2) Pricing in round figures:

Milk sellers often do not have fifty paisa coin or change with them so they often sell milk at

higher prices .this problem can be curbed by keeping the prices in whole number multiple of

rupee. People buying milk using coupons can be this discount of fifty paisa. This will

Encourage more people to for milk coupon.


                                                                                                 52

The objective was “CONSUMER BEHAVIOR & SATISFACTION.” And then at last I worked with questionnaire a sample size of 50 respondents was taken for the study whose responses were studied and interpreted .The sampling design was used convenience sampling. The process of analysis was done through excel work sheets, frequency table, percentage analysis etc. During the preparation of questionnaire I faced difficulties regarding the selection of questions and in collection of the data I found some difficulties like the customers had no time to give. There is one thing that I have found that the peoples working at AMUL are very much helpful in all areas. Every time they come to me and told me that they are available at any time for me for anything, which really boost me and motivates me towards my goal and objectives. The culture of AMUL is very much friendly. 52

In the year 1946 the union was known as KAIRA DISTRICT CO- OPERATIVE MILK PRODUCERS’ UNION. Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers' Union Limited was the First Co-operative Milk Producers' Union started in Gujarat, formed in Kheda district, whose founding chairman was social worker, Tribhovandas Patel Its success, also known as Anand Pattern led to creation of District Co-operative Milk Producers' Union at each district, created Amul (Anand Milk Union Limited) in 1946 In 1970, initiated White Revolution of India, as it help create, Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd., which now overlooks Amul, in 1973 , and today, it is the second best dairy in [1] India . [1] This union selected the brand name AMUL in 1955. The brand name Amul means “AMULYA”. This word derived from the Sanskrit word “AMULYA” which means “PRICELESS”. A quality control expert in Anand had suggested the brand name “AMUL”. Amul products have been in use in millions of homes since 1946. Amul Butter, Amul Milk Powder, Amul Ghee, Amul spray, Amul Cheese, Amul Chocolates, Amul Shrikhand, Amul Ice cream, Nuts Amul, Amul Milk and Amulya have made Amul a leading food brand in India..Today Amul is a symbol of many things like of the high-quality products sold at reasonable prices. In the early 40’s, the main sources of earning for the farmers of Kaira district were farming and selling of milk. That time there was high demand for milk in Bombay. The main supplier of the milk was Polson dairy limited, which was a privately owned company and held monopoly over the supply of milk at Bombay from the Kaira district. This system leads to exploitation of poor and illiterates’ farmers by the private traders. The traders used to beside the prices of milk and the farmers were forced to accept it without uttering a single word. However, when the exploitation became intolerable, the farmers were frustrated. They collectively appealed to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who was a leading activist in the freedom movement. Sardar Patel advised the farmers to sell the milk on their own by establishing a co-operative union, Instead of supplying milk to private traders. Sardar Patel sent the farmers to Shri Morarji Desai in order to gain his co-operation and help. Shri Desai held a meeting at Samarkha village near Anand, on 4th January 1946. He advised the farmers to form a society 52

The district union was also form to collect the milk from such village cooperative societies and to sell them. It was also resolved that the Government should be asked to buy milk from the union. However, the govt. did not seem to help farmers by any means. It gave the negative response by turning down the demand for the milk. To respond to this action of govt., the farmers of Kaira district went on a milk strike. For 15 whole days not a single drop of milk was sold to the traders. As a result the Bombay milk scheme was severely affected. The milk commissioner of Bombay then visited Anand to assess the situation. Having seemed the condition, he decided to fulfil the farmers demand. Thus their cooperative unions were forced at the village and district level to collect and sell milk on a cooperative basis, without the intervention of Government. Mr. Verghese Kurien showed main interest in establishing union who was supported by Shri Tribhuvandas Patel who lead the farmers in forming the Cooperative unions at the village level. The Kaira district milk producers union was thus established in ANAND and was registered formally on 14th December 1946. Since farmers sold all the milk in Anand through a co-operative union, it was commonly resolved to sell the milk under the brand name AMUL. At these initial stage only 250 litres of milk was collected every day. But with the growing awareness of the benefits of the cooperativeness, the collection of milk increased. Today Amul collect 11 lakhs litres of milk every day. Since milk was a perishable commodity it becomes difficult to preserve milk flora longer period. Besides when the milk was to be collected from the far places, there was a fear of spoiling of milk. To overcome this problem the union thought out to develop the chilling unit at various junctions, which would collect the milk and could chill it, so as to preserve it for a longer period. Thus, today Amul has more than 150 chilling centres in various villages. Milk is collected from almost 1073 societies. 52

  • 18. Amul is going places. Literally after having established its presence in China, Mauritius and Hong Kong, Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), India’s largest milk cooperative, is waiting to flood the Japanese market. Then, GCMMF is also looking at Sri Lanka as one of its next export destinations. Amul products are already available on shelves across several countries, including the US, China, Australia, West Asian countries and Africa. GCMMF recorded a turnover of Rs 2,922 crore last fiscal. Its products include pouch milk, ultra heat treated (UHT) milk, ice-cream, butter, cheese and buttermilk. PEOPLE POWER: AMUL'S SECRET OF SUCCESS The system succeeded mainly because it provides an assured market at remunerative prices for producers' milk besides acting as a channel to market the production enhancement package. What's more, it does not disturb the agro-system of the farmers. It also enables the consumer an access to high quality milk and milk products. Contrary to the traditional system, when the profit of the business was cornered by the middlemen, the system ensured that the profit goes to the participants for their socio-economic upliftment and common good. Looking back on the path traversed by Amul, the following features make it a pattern and model for emulation elsewhere. Amul has been able to: • Produce an appropriate blend of the policy makers farmers board of management and the professionals: each group appreciating its rotes and limitations, • Bring at the command of the rural milk producers the best of the technology and harness its fruit for betterment. • Provide a support system to the milk producers without disturbing their agro- economic systems, • Plough back the profits, by prudent use of men, material and machines, in the rural sector for the common good and betterment of the member producers and 52

MAIN STEPS INVOLVED IN MARKETING RESEARCH Defining the Marketing Problem to be tackled and identifying the market research problem involved in the task. (1) Define the problem and its objectives. (2) Identify the problem. (3) Determine the information needed. (4) Determine the sources of information. (5) Decide research methods. (6) Tabulate, Analyze and interpret the data. (7) Prepare research report. (8) Follow-up the study. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:- RESEARCH PROBLEM  Seek the general perception of consumer towards Amul products  To know the consumer psyche and their behaviour towards Amul products ABOUT THE TOPIC:- CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR:-  It is defined as all psychological, social and physical behavior of potential customers as they become aware, evaluate, purchase, consume, and tell to others about product and services. 52
  • 35.  Buying behavior involves both individual (psychological) and group process. o Buyer behavior is reflected from awareness right through post purchase evaluation indicating satisfaction and non satisfaction , from purchaser o Buyer behavior includes communication, purchasing and consumption behavior o Consumer behavior is basically social in nature hence the social factors play important roles in shaping buying behavior o Buyer behavior includes both customer and industrial behavior. “Hence consumer behavior is an orderly process whereby the consumer interacts with the environment for making a purchase decision on products “ CONCEPT & NEED FOR STUDYING CONSUMER BEHAVIOR:- Consumer behaviour can be said to be the study of how individual make decision on how to spend their available resources (time, money, effort) on various consumption related items. This simple definition of consumer behaviour tells the markets to resolve every activity around the ultimate consumers & gauge their behaviour by specially focusing on:  Who buys products or services?  How do they buy products or services?  Where do they buy them?  How often they buy them?  Why do they buy them?  How often they use them? 52

  • 57. Suggestions and Recommendations - RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING PLACE Milk consumer values from delivery and a lot of distributors are already providing this facility. Milk plant should think of giving extra Commission to its dealers for ensuring such facilities. This scheme can be implemented in few areas and if there is an increase in consumption of milk then it can be extended to all other areas catered by milk plant. There is need to communicate regularly and taking feedback from agents. Monthly meetings will help in improving the relation with dealers. The declaration of the prices like “Fastest Growing Dealer” OR “Highest selling Dealer” can be announced bi monthly or bi annually to motivate dealers to increase their sales. RECOMMENDATION REGARDING PROMOTION The following steps can be taken in the field of promotion: Using electronic and print media for information dissemination: In recent days, there has been lots of new highlighting adulteration of food products that is making people sceptical about packed food products. Special programs highlighting supply chain of milk producers ‘ cooperatives can be screened and telecasted on TV from time to time .news highlighting achievement of milk plant can also be published in news papers which will help in creating favourable image for verka products. 2) Inviting people for plant visits on weekends: 52
  • 58. Plant can be opened to general public for visit on Saturday and Sunday for a limited time interval in order to win their trust on verka products. This can be done through collaborating with Radio Fm channels where winners can get free visits and some limited period coupons. 3) Toll free telephone for customer feedback: Presently verka products have a telephone number printed on their packs but this is not toll free. A toll free number should be there and printed in such a colour or font that is easily differentiable from the rest of the text on the pack. Recommendations regarding pricing: Following suggestions can be considered for improving pricing Strategies of companies: 1) Introduction of coupon system; Milk is the commodity that is daily bought and consumed within households. It is cumbersome for consumers to make payment daily as change for currency is not available at times. There are offered candies in return for change which many of the consumers do not Like. This problem can be solved by introducing milk coupon which can be bought from agencies. Coupon system has been successfully implemented by several individual distributors in their respective areas. It is needed to be implemented in entire city. 2) Pricing in round figures: Milk sellers often do not have fifty paisa coin or change with them so they often sell milk at higher prices .this problem can be curbed by keeping the prices in whole number multiple of rupee. People buying milk using coupons can be this discount of fifty paisa. This will Encourage more people to for milk coupon. 52
