A Study on Improving The Market Share of Milma Milk - With Special Reference ...inventionjournals
Customer satisfaction and trust are two important factors which influence any market. In this modern age it is very difficult to find a customer who is loyal to a single brand. But still there exist some cooperative companies which can create undivided demand in the market creating a natural monopoly. It is mainly because of the trust the customers put into it. The main objective of this project is to study the performance of MILMA in terms of its market share, satisfaction level of customers and dealers, customer loyalty, awareness of customers about the homogenisation technique and to determine the factors affecting the market share of MILMA. Research methodology employed is Statistical Research and Qualitative Research. Data’s were collected from both primary and secondary sources. Questionnaire Method is used to collect data’s from customers as well as dealers. Analysing the data collected, it is understood that MILMA have developed a fairly good demand, but being the only cooperative society in Kerala it should have been in a better position than it is in now. The main reasons for this situation are found to be unawareness among people about the homogenisation process to make fat content same, low commission rate for the dealers, and the problem of leakage. If proper measures are taken to ensure proper packaging without leakage and proper commission for the dealers, more dealers could be attracted. Customers should be educated about the homogenisation technique.

A Study on Level of Employee Job Satisfaction in HAMULProjects Kart
India is called the “country of villages” where it covers nearly 70% of its total area. In this relation we can say that Indian economy is base on rural activities and their development. Therefore we have to give prime importance to the rural activities. A dairy is a place for handling milk and milk products. Technology refers to the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. Dairy technology has been defined as that branch of dairy science which deals with the processing of milk and the milk products on an industrial scale. In developed dairying countries such as the USA the year 1850 is seen as the dividing line between farm and factory scale production. Various factors distribute to this change in these countries such as the concentration of the population in cities where the jobs are plentiful, rapid industrialization, improvement of transportation facilities, development of machines etc., The rural areas are identified for the production, urban areas are for the processing of the milk.
A Study on Effectiveness of Performance Appraisal of EmployeesProjects Kart
Appraising the performance of the individual, groups and organization is a common practice of all societies. While in some instance these appraisal processes are structured and formally sanctioned, in other instances they are an integral and informal part of daily activities. The teacher evaluates the performance of student, banker evaluates the performance of creditors, parents evaluate the performance of their children and all of unconsciously or unconsciously evaluate our own action from time to time. In social interaction, performance evaluation is done in a haphazard an often unsystematic way. But in organization formal programs of evaluating employee and managerial performance-conducted in a systematic and planned manner have achieved popularity in recent years.

Sometimes labour absenteeism and turnover become a major problem for the
management. Absenteeism has been variously defined by different authorities. Absenteeism
is a practice or habit of being an „absentee‟ and the „absenter‟ is one who habitually stays
away‟‟. Absence may be authorized or unauthorized, wilful or caused by circumstances
beyond one‟s control. Absenteeism is a universal phenomenon and it is not peculiar to Indian
industries. But the rate of absenteeism has been relatively higher in India.
Any company cannot move without personnel. These personnel have to be managed
effectively so that they don‟t lose interest on their jobs and can result in loss for both the
employee and employer. As an effect of dissatisfaction, the employee tends to be absent,
which affects the operations of the organization.
In Milma Dairy, the company faces a problem of severe absenteeism among the

milk and milk products, in the modern world is blend of the centuries old knowledge of
traditional milk products with the application of modern science and technology. Dairy is a

2.1 WORLD SCENARIO
History of International Dairy Federation
The International Dairy Federation, with its head quarters Brussels, was
established in 1903 and consists of 32 member countries throughout the world. UNICEF has
been the motivating force for establishing a dairy industry in many under developed
countries. One of these in India, where large processing plants have been set up to process
locally produced milk or to reconstitute milk from donated or purchased Milk Fat and
powder. Domestic milk production has increased in India and a part of the pasteurized milk is
provided free to children in the larger cities through UNICEF.
The first co-operative artificial breeding association was organized in
Denmark in 1936, There are now many such association which helped the dairy industries.
After 1950, dairy industries faced a wide range of development throughout the world.
6. 2.2 INDIAN SCENARIO
Origin of the Industry
Indian Dairy sector has come a long way during the past independence era of
acute milk shortage and depended on foreign aid in the form of milk powder to meet the
growing milk demanded. India‟s milk production in 1950-1951 was as low as million tonnes.
The dairy sector in the India has shown remarkable development in the past decade and India
has shown now become one of the largest producers of milk and value added milk products in
the world. Today the country has emerged as the second largest milk producer in the world
currently there are over 275 dairy plants and 83 milk product factories in co-operative, public
and private sector.
The world famous „Anand Milk Union Ltd‟ popularly known as „Amul‟ was
established in 1946 and the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) was set up in 1965.
Kerala Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (KCMMF) popularly known as „Milma‟ was
established in April 1980. Dairy Co-operatives accounts major share of processed liquid milk
marketed in the country. Milk is processed and marketed by 170 Milk producers Co-
operatives Unions, which federated into 15 state Co-operative Milk Marketing Federations.
By the end of the third phase of Operation Flood Program about 72700 Dairy Co-operative
Societies with 93 million farmer members where organization
The country has at present about one lakh organized primary village dairy
co-operative with an aggregate membership of 1.1 crore producers. The co-operative milk
procurement crossed 20 million kg/day in 2004-05. Over the years, brands created by co-
operatives have become synonymous with quality and value. Brands like Amul (G.C.M.M.F),
Vijaya (Andhra Pradesh), Verka (Punjab), Saras (Rajasthan), Nandhini (Karnataka), Milma
(Kerala) and Gokul (Kolhapur) are among those that have earned customer confidence.
In Kerala there are 3243 dairy Co-operatives including 2404 Anand
Pattern Societies functioning under KCMMF. Milma represents more than 7.63 lakh dairy
farmers who have organized 2404 Anand Pattern Co-operative Societies. It also represents 10
dairies, handling 9.96 lakh liters of milk/day chilling plants, 2 cattle plants, a milk powder
plant, an established training center and 5000 distribution outlets.
7. 2.3 GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE INDUSTRY
After the five year plan there saw a considerable growth in the field of
dairy industry. Providing proper infrastructure facilities can increase the live stock
population. There developments accelerated the growth of the dairy industry. The tremendous
potential of the dairy industry was given a major fill up with Finance Minister and the Prime
Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh‟s move to delicence the Milk Industry in 1992 .The delicence
enabled a massive flow of private investment. Organized handling of milk in there sectors
would also lead to proper procurement measured which would in turn be beneficial to the
farmers and one of those market forces are allows to operate the consumer would also benefit
in terms of quality and price.
2.4 ANAND PATTERN (APCOS)
Anand is a village of farmers in Kaira district of Gujarat. It is a village of
farmers and such a large quantity of milk is produced in this village. But the sale of the milk
is a big problem so the farmers formed co-operative societies for the purpose of distribution
of milk. With the Kaira milk producer‟s co-operative union, this produced just 25 liters of
milk a day.
The primary co-operative societies are formed by the union in line with
Anand Pattern with a view to strengthen dairy co-operative society at village level both
financially and institutionally. Co-operative development programs were started from the
financial assistance by NDDB. During 1960‟s (Anand/Kaira dist, Gujarat) 1000 of milk
producers united together on co-operation lines, an integrated approach to production,
procurement, processing and marketing of milk.
The Anand model progressively eliminated middleman, bringing the
producers in direct contact with consumers. In spite of the opposition by middlemen Dr.
Varghese Kurian has been able to make major break through in dairy. This resulted in the
formation of AMUL (Anand Milk Union Ltd). Over the years thus evolved itself into a model
based on self rile by farmers ensuring maximum return to them. This model came to be
known as “Anand Pattern”.
8. The Anand Pattern is a three tier structure consists of:
1. Village level primary co-operative societies called APCOS
2. District/Regional Co-operative Milk Producers Union.
3. State Level Milk Marketing Federation.
2.5 NATIONAL DAIRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND ITS ROLE
The efficiency of „Anand Pattern‟ led to the launching of dairy
program called Operation Flood in 1970 under NDDB. Credit for the most of the work
done in the field of milk supply by co-operatives that goes to NDDB. The board was set
up by the Government to replicate the Anand experiment in the rest of the country.
The board with the help of Government of India got of commodity
assistance valuing Rs.120 crores, under world food program, 1970. This fund was used to
develop operation flood program. Under this scheme financial assistance was provided to
various state government and other agencies for implementing dairy development
scheme.
The operation flood phase I was introduced in1970-81. This was
followed by phase II from 1981-87 followed by phase III from 1988 onwards.
OPERATION FLOOD
The dairy program called Operation Flood was launched in 1970 under the aegis of
NDDB. NDDB functional as the technical consultant and the rest while Indian Dairy Co-
operation as the funding agency the ideology followed by the operation flood was the
remuneration linking of rural milk producing centered with the demand centers so as to
build up a viable dairy industry.
