1.4.2. Amul India: Amul was started when milk became a symbol of protest. The company Founded in 1946 to stop the exploitation by middlemen, inspired by the freedom movement. The seeds of this unusual saga were sown more than 65 years back in Anand, a small town in the state of Gujarat in western India. The exploitative trade practices followed by the local trade cartel triggered off the cooperative movement. Angered by unfair and manipulative practices followed by the trade, the farmers of the district approached the great Indian patriot Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel for a solution. He advised them to get rid of middlemen and form their own co-operative, which would have procurement, processing and marketing under their control.
In 1946, the farmers of this area went on a milk strike refusing to be cowed down by the cartel. Under the inspiration of Sardar Patel, and the guidance of leaders like Morarji Desai and Tribhuvandas Patel, they formed their own cooperative in 1946.
This co-operative, the Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers Union Ltd. began with just two village dairy co-operative societies and 247 liters of milk and is today better known as Amul Dairy. Amul grew from strength to strength thanks to the inspired leadership of Tribhuvandas Patel, the founder Chairman and the committed professionalism of Dr Verghese Kurien, who was entrusted the task of running the dairy from 1950.
The then Prime Minister of India, Lal Bahadur Shastri decided that the same approach should become the basis of a National Dairy Development policy. He understood that the success of Amul could be attributed to four important factors. The farmers owned the dairy, their elected representatives managed the village societies and the district union, a they employed professionals to operate the dairy and manage its business. Most importantly, the co-operatives were sensitive to the needs of farmers and responsive to their demands. 12
13 At his instance in 1965 the National Dairy Development Board was set up with the basic objective of replicating the Amul model. Dr. Kurien was chosen to head the institution as its Chairman and asked to replicate this model throughout the country.
Business Model: The Amul Model of dairy development is a threetiered structure with the dairy cooperative societies at the village level federated under a milk union at the district level and a federation of member unions at the state level. Establishment of a direct linkage between milk producers and consumers by
eliminating middlemen Milk Producers (farmers) control
procurement, processing and marketing Professional management

The Amul model has helped India to emerge as the largest milk producer in the world. More than 15 million milk producers pour their milk in 1, 44,246 dairy cooperative societies across the country. Their milk is processed in 177 District Co-operative Unions and marketed by 22 State Marketing Federations, ensuring a better life for millions.

CHAPTER - II
2.1. PRODUCT EVOLUTION: 2.1.1. Mother Dairy Milk In this booming period Mother Dairy is looking to take advantage of the opportunities which are in galore available for all milk manufacturers. Mother Dairy - Delhi was set up in 1974 under the Operation Flood Program. It is now a subsidiary company of National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). Mother Dairy sources its entire requirement of liquid milk from dairy cooperatives.
Mother Dairy milk (bulk vended) is fortified with vitamin A with 2000 IU per litre as social accountability. This program started with the Mother Dairy, Delhi, in February 1980. Thereafter the dairy continues this program on their own without having any financial assistance from the government since it is felt that BVM is generally consumed by the middle/lower middle/poor population. It is found that the dietary practices adopted by these classes are deficient in Vitamin A. Mother Dairy sources significant part of its requirement of liquid milk from dairy cooperatives.
Processing of milk is controlled by process automation whereby state-of-the-art microprocessor technology is adopted to integrate and completely automate all functions of the processing areas to ensure high product quality, reliability and safety.
Mother Dairy markets approximately 4.8 million liters of milk daily in the markets of Delhi, Mumbai, Saurashtra and Hyderabad. They have a market share of 66% in the branded sector in Delhi where it sells 2.3 million liters of milk daily and undertakes its marketing operations through around 14,000 retail outlets and 845 exclusive outlets. As of April 2013, the dairy commands 71% and Amul commands 29% of market.
2.1.2. Amul Milk Amul has spurred the White Revolution of India, which has made India the largest producer of milk and milk products in the world. Amul's genesis is linked to the freedom movement in India. Sardar Vallabh bhai Patel, an eminent Indian freedom fighter encouraged the dairy farmers from the Kaira district in Gujarat to form a cooperative to counter the 'exploitatively' low prices offered for their milk by the 19
20 monopoly milk Supplier of the area, Polson's Dairy. The dairy farmers met in Samarkha (Kaira district, Gujarat) on the 4th of January 1946, and decided to set up a milk producers' cooperative that would deal directly with the Bombay government, the final buyer of their milk. This was the origin of the Anand model. Initially, when the Bombay government refused to deal with the cooperative, the farmers called a strike. The government finally relented when Bombay went without milk for a fortnight. The successful union registered itself as the Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union Ltd. (KCMPUL), Anand, in Gujarat in December 1946. And so did GCMMF and brand AMUL establish consequently. The main motto of Amul is to help farmers i.e. Milk producers. Amul system works under objective of highest possible compensation to the milk producers and lowest possible price to consumers. Farmer are paid money in cash payment for the milk. Milk gives them money for the daily necessities. Amul is the one who started using their profits for the milk producers common good.
Over the last five and a half decades, Dairy Cooperatives in Gujarat have created an economic network that links more than 3.1 million village milk producers with millions of consumers in India. These cooperatives collect on an average 9.4 million liters of milk per day from their producer members, more than 70% of whom are small, marginal farmers and landless labourers and include a sizeable population of tribal folk and people belonging to the scheduled castes. The turnover of GCMMF (AMUL) during 201213 was 97.74 billion (US$1.77 billion). It markets the products, produced by the district
milk unions in 30 dairy plants.
2.2. DETAIL OF THE MARKET 2.2.1. Mother Dairy: Mother dairy ensures milk availability across all the retail outlets through a control room set up at the dairy premises. The control room is very vital for efficient distribution of milk to all the retail outlets. It organizes distribution routes so that shops do not run out of milk. Each milk tanker is fitted with a wireless set. As soon as the person in the control room learns that a shop is running out of milk, he contacts the tanker nearest to the shop on wireless which then delivers the milk to the shop.

22 2.2.2. Amul Milk AMUL has the largest distribution network for any FMCG company. It has nearly 50 sales offices spread all over the country, more than 5 000 wholesale dealers and more than 700 000 retailers. Amul became the world's largest vegetarian cheese and the largest pouched-milk brand. AMUL is also the largest exporter of dairy products in the country. AMUL is available today in over 40 countries of the world. AMUL is exporting a wide variety of products which include Whole and Skimmed Milk Powder, Cottage Cheese (Paneer), UHT Milk, Clarified Butter (Ghee) and Indigenous Sweets. The major markets are USA, West Indies, and countries in Africa, the Gulf Region, and SAARC neighbors, Singapore, The Philippines, Thailand, Japan and China, and others such as Mauritius, Australia, Hong Kong and a few South African countries.
Over the years Amul has been witnessing strong growth in this portfolio, with the segment growing at 53%, as a result of growing consumer awareness and demand for good quality milk, the urban population has especially been showing great interest in long life UHT products like Amul Taaza, which are packed in Tetra Pak cartons, which undergoes UHT treatment to remove all harmful microorganisms while retaining the nutrition in the milk. Today Amul sells around 4-500,000 liters of UHT milk and other value added products per day and forecast this demand to continue growing at 25%.The UHT products have enabled Amul to position itself as the market leader in packaged milk segment by penetrating the deeper and vast markets by maintaining long shelf life of milk, without the need of maintain cold supply chains.
Amul has installed an "Any Time Milk" machine dispenses a 300-ml pouch of fresh milk for Rs 10, at Anand's Amul Dairy. As a first step, Amul plans to install six such ATMs in Anand itself. According to Rahul Kumar, MD of Amul Dairy, Amul wants to add a whole range of dairy products, which could be dispensed through these machines.

2.3.2. Price Amul India At the time Amul was formed, consumers had limited purchasing power, and modest consumption levels of milk and other dairy products. Thus Amul adopted a low-cost price strategy to make its products affordable and attractive to consumers by guaranteeing them value for money. Amul's Taaza brand of toned milk that sold for Rs 34 now costs Rs 36. In early 2013, it was available for Rs 24-26 per litre. Amul Gold, the full cream variant, now costs Rs 46 over Rs 44. The rate in 2013 was Rs 34-36 per litre. Mother Dairy

24 2.3.3. Place Amul India Mother Dairy However, as far as other dairy products are concerned, Mother Dairy plans to expand across the board. Other than milk, for most state federations, dairy products are still a small part of their operations. So they are taking their products to regions across India, where they see enough market potential. In ice creams, it was only two years ago that Mother Dairy entered its first market outside Delhi -UP and Punjab. Today, it's extended its operation to Haryana, Jaipur, Mumbai and Kolkata as well. Next year, it plans to go south to Hyderabad and Bangalore. In the case of butter and cheese, it's present across north India, Mumbai and Kolkata, and has plans to enter Bangalore by year-end. In UTH milk, it has entered Mumbai and the milk-short areas of West Bengal and north-east. For ghee, although the current focus is the northern region, it has plans for a nationwide presence.
Currently Amul has 2.41 million producer members with milk collection average of 5.08 million liters/day. Besides India, Amul has entered overseas markets such as Mauritius, UAE, USA, Bangladesh, Australia, China, Singapore, Hong Kong and a few South African countries. Its bid to enter Japanese market in 1994 had not succeeded, but now it has fresh plans of flooding the Japanese markets. Other potential markets being considered include Sri Lanka. 2.3.4. Promotion: Amul India Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) has launched a print and digital campaign for its brand Amul. Each ad of the campaign features a person with a milk moustache who Eats milk with every meal, and lists exaggerated benefits of doing so alongside nutritional benefits of Amul products. The characters depicted include a tennis player who wins doubles playing alone; a man who lifts the car to change the tyre; an office geek who hasnt taken sick leave in five years; and a young woman who flaunts her out-of-the-shower look 24x7. Amuls dairy product range including milk, butter, paneer, ice cream and ghee are showcased.
Mother Dairy On the marketing front, Mother Dairy says it's trying to take its product campaigns and communications to a higher platform. For instance, in the case of milk, the campaigns do not talk about the obvious benefits - milk is good for health, it has calcium and so on - but rather it targets children and are created around ideas such as "The country needs you, grow faster".

CHAPTER - IV
4.1. CONCLUSION: In todays competitive world while entering in the market it is very necessary to have good knowledge of the potential of a particular market. The information regarding the activities of competitors existing in the market so that we can plan our each activity according to that. It is also necessary to retain the existing customers apart from attracting the new customers. The final outcome of the project is that the parameters which hinder the sale of milk products of Mother dairy and Amul are Price, Quality, Service and Taste. Milk market is a totally unpredictable market and the organization should be over-cautious of any complaints that come into milk as it includes the sentiments of a mother for her kid and she would not prefer to give anything to her kid for which she is not 100% satisfied. So the company should take every step possible to contain these problems which in some way or the other affects the sale of Mother dairy and Amul and its retailers. It is concluded that Mother dairy milk i.e. Single Toned milk has a high potential in the market and it is the known to its customers and its acceptance is comparatively higher as of other variants and competitors present in the market, on the other side most of the consumer continuously using Amul gold milk and they do not want to switch over to other brand.
4.2. RECOMMENDATIONS Both companies can cut costs for some period of time followed immediately by strong advertising. As we have seen during the research that most of institutions give most preference to the margin provided to them on milk (except coffee outlets). As the quality and taste and availability of mother dairy milk are best in market and local milk companies good margin to them, Price remains the main criteria of institutional milk sales. Can start schemes like cash prizes or foreign trips on scratching the barcode on the packet Locate the institutions using competitors milk and provide them attractive offers to increase the market share so that at least the big competitors will not try to expand. Mergers and Acquisition in the milk industry with local players help the company in increasing its distribution network and Market share. Following this both companies can buy the milk from local dairies taking over their business which is substantial in terms of market share Both companies should introduce a mascot for the milk. This will help in easy Brand differentiation and Recognition. 42
43 Efficiency in distribution Remove communication barriers and misconceptions between the Institutions and distributors by effective communication with institutions time to time.
4.3. LIMITATIONS: Biasness on the part of respondents: Some respondents were not ready to reveal the true information. Time Consuming-Many respondents do not return the Questionnaire in time despite of several reminders. Inaccurate access-Risk of colleting incomplete and wrong information as people are unable to understand questions properly. Non response-many people do not respond and returned the questionnaire without answering all questions. Questionnaire method cannot be used for illiterate persons.
