The Milk Federation has already taken up
organization of Dairy Co-operative Societies
(DCS) in the districts of Gaya, Jehanabad,
Arwal and Nawada under Magadh dairy
project and work. has been initiated in
Saharsa, Supaul and Madhepura districts.
However, Kosi Dairy Project will be covering
Kishanjung, Katihar, Purnia, and Araria
districts also. The districts of East and West
Singhbhum, Ranchi, Bokaro, Dhanbad,
Jamshedpur and other districts of Jharkhand
is covered by the COMPED (dairies) directly
also under the control of Milk Federation for
the supply of milk and milk products to the
urban consumers in these cities. Procurement
of milk has been taken up in Ranchi district
only.
The Milk Federation has already taken up
organization of Dairy Cooperative Societies
(DCS) in the districts of Gaya, Jehanabad,
Bhagalpur and GOI has approved a proposal
13. HARSH KUMAR P a g e | 13
for dairy development in Supaul, Madhepura
and Saharsha districts. The districts of East
and West Singhbhum, Ranchi, Bokaro and
Dhanbad are being covered by the dairies
directly under the control of Milk Federation
for the supply of milk and milk products to
the urban consumers in these cities.
Procurement of milk has been taken up in
Ranchi district only.
Physical Performance Because of initial
teething troubles and the setback caused by
the natural vagaries, the progress was
impeded. Regaining of confidence of the milk
producers in the cooperative dairying system
shattered due to poor management by
erstwhile Bihar State Cooperation earlier was
also of one of the major reasons for sluggish
growth. Lack of functional infrastructure in
the sphere of animal husbandry, especially in
breed improvement, artificial insemination
(AI) and animal health cover also contributed
14. HARSH KUMAR P a g e | 14
to the progress. Policy decisions taken six to
seven years ago have changed the trend of
growth in all quarters of cooperative dairying
in Bihar. In the earlier years, the emphasis
was on the horizontal of dairy cooperative
network, Now the
strengthening/consolidation of the dairy
cooperatives is being done to make them
viable and gradual expansion of area is also
being done.
4. Marketing
A. Liquid Milk Marketing
In the initial years, the emphasis of
COMPED was on organizing DCS and
educating farmers. In the initial years the
milk sale moved at snail's speed from
Later, marketing was given a boost by
considering it a thrust area. About 100.55
thousand litters per day in 1987 to 106.54
thousand litters per day (TLPD) in 1992-
93. However, strategies adopted in 1993-
15. HARSH KUMAR P a g e | 15
94, changed the trend completely. Year
2003 was declared as "Market
Development Year" The daily average milk
marketing has now reached a level of
about 531 TCPD showing a continued
increase which is depicted below

RELATIONSHIP MARKETING
The term relationship was introduced during
the 1980s and is a relatively new and evolving
concept. An early definition is provided by
Leonard Berry Relationship marketing is the
attraction, maintaining and in multi-service
organization. Enhancing customer
relationships. The marketing mind set is that
the attraction of new customers is merely the
first step in the marketing process.
Our view of RM extends this definition. This
broadened view has three complementary
perspectives:
The nature of the way the companies view
their relationship with customers is
changing Emphasis is moving from a
transaction focus to a relationship focus
with the aim of long-term customer
retention
A broader view is emerging in the markets
with which the company interacts. In
40. HARSH KUMAR P a g e | 40
addition to customer markets the
organization also becomes concerned with
the development and enhancement on the
building of long-term client relationship
These two approaches can be contrasted
as follows:
I. Transaction Marketing
Focus on single sale
Orientation on product features.
Short timescale.
Little emphasis on customer
Limited customer commitment.
Moderate customer contact.
Quality is primarily a concern of
production
II. Transaction Marketing
Focus on customer retention.
Orientation on product benefits.
Long timescale.
High customer service emphasis.
High customer commitment.
High customer contact.
41. HARSH KUMAR P a g e | 41
Quality is the concern for all
Whilst a relationship focus has been fully
adopted by some service businesses it is
noticeably absent in others. Unfortunately,
many companies take the transactional repute
The investment made in inning a new
customer, once successful, is immediately
transferred to the next prospect. Little effort
goes into keeping that customer. We will
explore the economic benefits of customer
retention.
42. HARSH KUMAR P a g e | 42
Firms today are now starting to recognize that
existing customers are easier to sell to and are
frequently more profitable. However, whilst
managers intellectually concur with this view,
much greater emphasis and resources are
often devoted to attracting new customers,
and existing customers, and existing
customers are taken for granted. It is only
when some breakdown in service quality
occurs, and the customers leaves or is on the
point of defection that the existing customers
becomes important
An example from a large city law firm provides
a good illustration of this. In this law firm two
events occurred within a short time. The first
involved the gaining of a contentious piece of
litigation work from a new client. The work
around $ 100,000 was likely to be a one-off
piece of business as the clients existing law
firm did not wish to handle it. The law firms’
partners were jubilant and everyone was
43. HARSH KUMAR P a g e | 43
excited about Jhonson's brilliant coup in
bringing in this new client. Six week later
another partner persuaded a large corporate
client, who dealt with several law firm, to give
his firm all the company's convincing work.
Prior to this, the firm had only worked in one
area of the law for this client. This represented
additional work of about 150,000 in the first
year and would he a continuing and growing
source of future fees. There was little reaction
to this news in the partnership except for the
comment Roberts has finally got off his
backside and done what he should have been
doing all along. The convincing work was on
going. As such it represented, in net present
value terms, perhaps five times as much profit
as the litigation, yet other members of the firm
paid little attention to it.
This is not to say that new customers or clients
are not important- indeed they are vital to the
future most service businessman. Rather a
44. HARSH KUMAR P a g e | 44
balance is needed the effort directed toward
existing and new customers. Figure 2 below
show the relationship marketing ladder of
customer loyalty which emphasizes this point.
It is apparent that many organizations put
their main emphasis on the lower rungs of
identifying prospect and attempting to turn
them into customers rather than on the higher
relationship - and ultimately more rewarding
rungs of timing customers into regular clients
and subsequently into strong supports
eventually active advocates for the company
and its products. But moving customers up the
loyalty ladder is not simple. Organization need
to know explicitly and in depth exactly what
each customer is buying and every customer is
different - and how it can continue to - offer
additional satisfaction that will differentiate it
offering. Essentially, the only way to change
someone from customers to advocate is to
replace customer satisfaction with customer
45. HARSH KUMAR P a g e | 45
delight- by offering service quality that
exceeds expectations.

S.W.O.T ANALYSIS OF SUDHA
Strength
i) Biggest source base for milk,
ii) Milk is available even in the day of crisis.
iii) The strong relationship between the
supplier milkmen & Sudha dairy.
iv) Well established procurement process.
v) Strong transportation facilities.
Weaknesses
i) Marketing is not customer oriented; they
don't take prior interest in the customer
tastes and preference.
ii) Advertising is low profile.
iii) Sudha is unable to make emotional
bonding with the consumer like another
brands & Mother dairy & Amul.
47. HARSH KUMAR P a g e | 47
iv) Unawareness about the Pasteurization
process.
Opportunity
1) Sudha should approach the sub urban
areas in the large scale where the potential
of the milk is low. This will provide the
opportunity for Sudha to increase its
market.
ii) There is ample scope in low price
segment where the consumer is presently
dissatisfied with the quality provided and
the price being charged.
iii) Sudha has opportunity to capture the
bulk market like restaurants, hotels,
lodges, hospitals, functions, marriage
ceremony etc.
iv) Sudha should introduce home delivery
facility and credit facility as this will
increase sales.
48. HARSH KUMAR P a g e | 48
Threats
i) Sudha faces threats from the local
merchants, local dairy farms popularly
known as khatal.
ii) Theft of milk by the at various level.
iii) Lack of communication between dairy
and distributors.
iv) Orthodox method of advertising.
FINDINGS
i) During the survey we observe that most
of the consumer have misconception
about Sudha milk that it is treated by
chemical preservatives.
ii) Unawareness about the pasteurization
process among the consumers that is also
a weak point
of the company.
49. HARSH KUMAR P a g e | 49
iii) Mixing of water in the processing of milk
production.
iv) The colour of the milk and the smell of
the milk are different from the milk of the
local vendor.
v) Brand awareness of Sudha is good in
Bhagalpur city however the percentage of
regular user is very low people prefer to
buy Sudha when they have scarcity of ie
they are not brand loyal.
vi) Sudha faces intense competition from
local milk vendors popularly known as
khatal
vii) Consumer prefer home delivery of milk.
50. HARSH KUMAR P a g e | 50
SUGGESTIONS
a) Management should think over its
pricing policy.
b) Company doesn't have any brand
ambassador for the promotional and
expansion activity of the Sudha product to
acquire more and more market share.
c) For advertisement company can use
local star to promote the products and also
use local media whether electronic and
mass communication.
d) Give offer and gift hampers to regular
customer for customer delight.
e) In festive season and at the time of
laagan there is the huge demand for the
milk Sudha should come with some
