PREFACE
The MBA programmed is well structured and integrated course of business studies.
The main objective of practical training at BBA level is to develop skill in student by
supplement to theoretical study of business management. In general, Industrial training
helps to gain real life knowledge about the industrial environment and business
practices. The MBA programmed provides student with as an exposure to strategic
thinking of management.
In every professional course, training is an important factor. Professors give us
theoretical knowledge of various subjects in the college but we are practically exposed
to such subjects when we get the training in the organization. By this project I learnt
how an organization works with various departmental operations.
During this whole Project, I got a lot of experience and came to know about the
managerial practices in reality and how a theoretical knowledge and the practicality
work together even in life.
In today’s globalize world, where a cutthroat competition is prevailing in the market,
theoretical knowledge is not sufficient. Beside this one needs to have practical
knowledge, which would help an individual in his/her carrier activities and it is true
that “Experience is the best teacher”.
“For me presenting this project is like a voyage in the corporate ocean.”

Introduction
India is the world’s largest producer of dairy products by volume, accounting for more
than 13% of world’s total milk production, and it also has the world’s largest dairy
herd. As the country consumes almost all of its own milk production, India was
neither an active importer nor an exporter of dairy products prior to year 2000.
However, since the implementation of Operation Flood Programme, the situation
changed significantly and imports of dairy products reduced to very small quantities.
From 2001, India has become a net exporter of dairy products and after 2003 India’s
dairy import has dipped while exports have increased at a fast rate. Yet the country’s
share in global dairy trade still remains at minor levels of 0.3 and 0.4 percent for
exports and imports respectively. This is due to the direct consumption of liquid milk
by the producer households as well as the demand for processed dairy products that
has increased with the growth of income levels, which have left little dairy surpluses
for export.
Nevertheless, India consistently exports specialty products such as casein for food
processing or pharmaceuticals. The Indian dairy sector is also different from other
dairy producing countries as India places its emphasis on both cattle and buffalo milk.
In 2010, the government and the National Dairy Development Board have drawn up a
National Dairy Plan (NDP) that proposes to nearly double India’s milk production by
2020. This plan will endeavour to increase the country’s milk productivity, improve
access to quality feeds and improve farmer access to the organised market. These
goals will be achieved through activities that focus on increasing cooperative
membership and growing the network of milk collection facilities throughout India.

activities that focus on increasing cooperative membership and growing the network
of milk collection facilities throughout India.
India is the world’s largest producer of dairy products by volume and has the
world’s largest dairy herd. The country accounts for more than 13% of world’s total
milk production and is also the world’s largest consumer of dairy products, consuming
almost all of its own milk production. Dairying has been regarded as one of the
activities that could contribute to alleviating the poverty and unemployment especially
in the drought prone and rain fed areas. In India, about three fourth of the population
live in rural areas and about 38% of them are poor.
Therefore among these people, as well as the large vegetarian segment of the
country’s population, dairy products provide a critical source of nutrition and animal
protein to millions of people in India.
Prior to year 2000, India was not noticed by most international dairy companies, as the
country was neither an active importer nor an exporter of dairy products. Although
India has imported some milk powder and butter oils as aid between 1970 and 1990,
exports from India were insignificantly small and it was not until 2000 onwards, when
Indian dairy products started having more presence in global markets.
Dairy Cooperatives account for the major share of processed liquid milk marketed in
the India. Milk is processed and marketed by 170 Milk Producers’ Cooperative
Unions, which federate into 15 State Cooperative Milk Marketing Federations. Over
the years, several brands have been created by cooperatives like Amul (GCMMF),
Vijaya (AP), Verka (Punjab), Saras (Rajasthan). Nandini (Karnataka), Milma (Kerala)
and Gokul (Kolhapur
Milk production in India has developed significantly in the past few decades from
a low volume of 17 million tons in 1951 to 110 million tonnes in 2009. Currently, the
Indian dairy market is growing at an annual rate of 7%. Despite the increase in
production, a demand supply gap has become imminent in the dairy industry due to
the changing consumption habits, dynamic demographic patterns, and the rapid
urbanization of rural India. This means that there is an urgent need for the growth rate
of the dairy sector to match the rapidly growing Indian economy.

Theoretical Background of
the study

32. 32
MEANING OF WORKING CAPITAL:
The concept of working capital is very important because the term is used for
the capital needed for day-to-day operation; it’s called as circulating capital. This
capital is needed for regular business operations such as purchase of raw materials,
payment of direct and indirect expenses carry on production, investment in stock and
store, credit granted to customers, keeping balance etc.
There are two concepts of working capital; Net working capital and Gross
working capital. Net working capital is defined as the difference between current
assets and current liabilities of a business. The net concept is useful to judge financial
soundness of a firm and it is of special interest to sundry creditors and suppliers of
short-term loans and advances. It creates confidence among the creditors about the
security of their amount. Thus, Net working capital is the net current assets (difference
between current assets and current liabilities), whereas Gross working capital is the
sum of total of all current assets.

33. 33
IMPORTANCE OF WORKING CAPITAL:
Management of working capital is an extremely important area of financial
management as current assets represent more than half of the total assets of a business.
Fixed asset though essential for a business organization, does not by itself produce
revenue or income. Fixed assets act with current assets to generate revenue or income.
Therefore, working capital is necessary for utilizing the productive capacity remain
unutilized. While excess working capital leads to extra cost for want of productivity
capacity.
Working capital in business is just live blood in human body. Optimum and
appropriate movement of blood through the body is extremely necessary to continue
life. Like human blood, the proper circulation of working capital is almost necessary
to continue business. If the circulation of working capital becomes weak, the business
can hardly prosper and survive. An Enterprise should maintain optimum amount of
working capital so as to carry on all the activities smoothly. While, the determination
of optimum level of working capital involves fundamental decisions to an
organization liquidity, which in turn are influenced by a tradeoff between profitability
and Liquidity (risk). Thus, the main object of working capital management is to
arrange the needed amount of working capital at right time, from right source and for
the ways.

34. 34
NEED FOR WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital is significant because of:
1) Equate amount of working capital is being required for continuous and
2) Uninterrupted business operations.
3) It is essential to run day to day business activities.
4) Greater value of working capital is required to be invested in current
assets for the success of sale activities.
5) To increase the operational efficiency of firm.
6) To meet the short term obligation of a business enterprise
7) To maintain a financial position and goodwill of the company in
market.
Scope FOR ORGAIZATION
The management of working capital helps us to maintain the working capital at a
satisfactory level by managing the current assets and current liabilities. It also helps to
maintain proper balance between profitability, risk and liquidity of the business
significantly.
By managing the working capital, current liabilities are paid in time. If the firm makes
payment to it creditors for raw material in time, it can have the availability of raw
material regularly, which doesn’t cause any obstacles in production process. Adequate
working capital increases paying capacity of the business but the excess working
capital causes more inventory, increases the possibility of delay in realization of debts.
FOR RESARCHAER
It help to researcher understand the working capital position.
FOR SOCIETY
It creates an environment of security, confidence, and overall efficiency in a business.

35. 35
Factors Determining Working ‘Capital Requirement’
The needs & problems for every business are different but generally the following
factors must be considered while determining the requirement of working capital: -
 Credit policy
 Availability of raw material and bank credit
 Turnover of inventory
 Operating efficiency
So, the main objective of working capital management is to manage current assets and
current liabilities so that: -
 There should be full utilization of fixed assets.
 There is an increase in Debt capacity and Goodwill.
 There is the advantage of favorable opportunities.

10 to 15 days

36. 36
c) Seasonal demand: One of the factor for determining for working capital is the
seasonal demand for product, which is in festival season. Also there are some
periods, when the supply of milk also gets affected.
d) Manufacturing Process: The manufacturing process doesn’t take more time
for converting the milk purchased into manufacture of milk based product.
This is very important factor which is determining the working capital
requirement.
e) Cash Requirement:Many time the purchase and sale are made on cash basis
depending up on circumstances. This also is a factor which is important for
determining working capital requirement.
 Components of Working Capital

b) Work in progress: The working in progress for the company is a very small
component of total current assets, as the production cycle is for a very short
period may be a few day.
c) Stock of finished goods: Since the products manufactured have shelf life, the
finished goods stock is very less as compared to other industries.
d) Trade credit: The Company is getting a trade credit form its supplier from to
maximum 15-20 days. Sometime it has to make cash payment for procuring
milk.
e) Debtors: Normally the debtors for Prabhat Milk and Agro Industries Private

another depending upon the size and nature of the firm.
A company's operating cycle typically consists of three primary activities:
purchasing resources, producing the product and selling the product. These
activities create fund flows that are both unsynchronized and uncertain. They are
unsynchronized because cash distribution usually takes place before cash receipts.
They are uncertain because future sales and costs, which generate the respective
receipt and disbursements, cannot be forecasted with complete accuracy.

something, as the ratios by themselves do not mean anything. Ratio analysis is one of
the techniques of planning and control available to the management.

45. 45
The following ratios are computed.
LIQUIDITY GROUP :
a) Current ratio.
b) Liquidity ratio.
TURNOVER GROUP :
a) Working Capital Turnover Ratio :
b) Inventory Turnover Ratio.
c) Debtors Turnover Ratio.
d) Profitability Ratio.
I. Net Profit
II. Gross Profit

Suggestions

61. 61
The following suggestions are made on the basis of observations made and some
discussion with the staff members:-
 The study suggests that the other factor of working capital management
like Inventory Management, Receivables Management, Payables.
Management are running effectively in Prabhat Agro pvt. Industries LTD.
So the efforts must be given to maintain the current trend in future.
 The company should increase its Gross Profit margin or increase the
turnover. If it which has to increase its Net Profit.
 The company has to maintain sufficient stock level in factory as well as at store
houses, considering the nature of product manufactured, and hence the liquidity
ratio is more than one and also they should have to maintain the optimum level of
working capital in the firm.
 The company should try to restore the Credit period from its Creditors so that
more funds are available to the Company.
 The company is keeping minimum inventory level since the product manufactured
have a limited shelf life & mostly manufactured against order from dealer. (the
milk based product )
.

Conclusion

63. 63
CONCLUSION
The profit is declining due to increase in milk price and company is not getting
proportionate increase in price of processed mild and milk product. There is a stiff
competition in the market from branded players. (Warna, Amul, Mahanand etc)
There is also competition from local manufacturer such as Ashok milk, Rajhanse, S
.R.Thorat etc.The company will have to cut down its cost of production to increase its
profit margins. Some innovation method are required to procure good quality milk at
reasonable price.
I learn how to calculate different ratio from financial statements, analysis of financial
statement to understand about the financial position of the company and overall
performance of the company. From the observation in the company I could understand
about determinants for working capital and components of working capital especially
for “Dairy Unit”
