General Information
About the Industry
INDIAN DAIRY INUSTRY
Introduction:
The dairy sector in the India has shown remarkable development in the past
decade and India has now become one of the largest producers of milk and value-
added milk products in the world. The dairy sector has developed through co-operatives
in many parts of the State. During 1997-98, the State had 60 milk processing plants with
an aggregate processing capacity of 5.8 million litres per day. In addition to these
processing plants, 123 Government and 33 co-operatives milk chilling centres operate
in the State.
Dairy is a place where handling of milk and milk products is done and 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 manufacture of milk products on an industrial scale.
In developed dairying countries such as the U.S.A., the year 1850 is seen as the
dividing line between farm and factory-scale production. Various factors contributed to
this change in these countries, viz. concentration of population in cities where jobs were
plentiful, rapid industrialization, improvement of transportation facilities, development of
machines, etc. whereas the rural areas were identified for milk production, the urban
centres were selected for the location of milk processing plants and product
manufacturing factories. These plants and factories were rapidly expanded and
modernized with improved machinery and equipment to secure the various advantages
of large-scale production. Nearly all the milk in the U.S.A. before 1900 was delivered as
raw (natural) milk. Once pasteurization was introduced, it developed rapidly. Mechanical
refrigeration helped in the rapid development of the factory system of market milk
distribution.
The highest milk producer in the entire globe – India boasts of that status. India is
otherwise known as the ‘Oyster’ of the global dairy industry, with opportunities galore to
the entrepreneurs globally. Anyone might want to capitalize on the largest and fastest
growing milk and milk products' market. The dairy industry in India has been witnessing
rapid growth. The liberalized economy provides more opportunities for MNCs and
foreign investors to release the full potential of this industry.
The main aim of the Indian dairy industry is only to better manage the national
resources to enhance milk production and upgrade milk processing using innovative
technologies.
The Indian dairy industry has aimed at better management of the national
resources to enhance milk production and upgrade milk processing involving new
innovative technologies. Multinational dairy giants can also make their foray in the
Indian dairy market in this challenging scenario and create a win-win situation for both.
In India, dairying has been practiced as a rural cottage industry since the remote
past. Semi-commercial dairying started with the establishment of military dairy farms
and co-operative milk unions throughout the country towards the end of the nineteenth
century.
During the earlier years, each household in those countries maintained its ‘family
cow’ or secured milk from its neighbor who supplied those living close by. As the urban
population increased, fewer households could keep a cow for private use. The high cost
of milk production, problems of sanitation etc., restricted the practice; and gradually the
family cow in the city was eliminated and city cattle were all sent back to the rural areas.
Gradually farmers within easy driving distance began delivering milk over regular
routes in the cities. This was the beginning of the fluid milk-sheds which surround the
large cities of today. Prior to the 1850s most milk was necessarily produced within a
short distance of the place of consumption because of lack of suitable means of
transportation and refrigeration.
The Indian Dairy Industry has made rapid progress since Independence. A large
number of modern milk plants and product factories have since been established.
These organized dairies have been successfully engaged in the routine commercial
production of pasteurized bottled milk and various Western and Indian dairy products.
With modern knowledge of the protection of milk during transportation, it became
possible to locate dairies where land was less expensive and crops could be grown
more economically.
Prior to NDDB, the milk market was vastly governed by local private dairy and
these dairies were neither producing milk nor they were animal breeders and hence law
of demand and supply was unheard by those whose intentions were purely to make
more money from both the sides – that is from producers of milk (farmers) and
consumers at large. Establishment of NDDB broke that spell and traders were side lined
in due course.
The National Dairy Development Board was created in promote, finance and
support producer-owned and controlled organizations. NDDB’s efforts are co-operative
principles and the Anand Pattern of Co-operation
Philosophy of NDDB
1. Co-operation is the preferred form of enterprise, giving people control over the
resources, through democratic self governance.
The NDDB was created in 1965, fulfilling the desire of the Prime Minister of India
– the late Lal Bahadur Shatri – to extend the success of the Kaira Co-operative Milk
Producers union (Amul) to other parts of India.
That success combined the wisdom and energy of farmers with professional
management to successfully capture liquid milk and milk product markets while
supporting farmer investment with inputs and services.
NDDB began its operations with the mission of making dairying a vehicle to a
better future for millions of grassroots milk producers. The mission achieved thrust and
direction with the launching of “Operation Flood”, a programme extending over 26 years
and which used World Bank loan to finance India’s emergence as the world’s largest
milk producing nation. Operation Flood’s third phase was completed in 1996 and has to
its credit a number of significant achievements.
Introduction:
Baroda District lies in the centre of Gujarat, a state of Western India, well-known
for co-operative dairying. Baroda District co-operative Milk Producers’ union Ltd. Is the
full name of Baroda dairy. As the name suggests that it is a co-operative union. The
company is engaged in the production of milk, flavored milk, butter and ghee, butter
milk. The company also produces a wide variety of ice-cream, shrikhand, and many

Baroda dairy are fully equipped with latest technology and modern facilities. Baroda
dairy always work for welfare of society.
Objective:
The Milk Union was established on 24th December 1957 with a view to relieve the
milk producers by the private milk venders and to give proper remuneration to them and
to supply good milk to the citizens of Baroda City.
Foundation of Dairy
With the view to relieve the milk producer from the exploitation by the private
vendors, and to give a remunerative price for their milk and to supply good quality of
milk to the citizen of Baroda city, the milk union was established on 24th December,
1957.
The milk union got guidance and help in all respect from the Neighboring milk
union of "Amul" especially from the Founder Chairman of "Amul", Shri T.K. Patel and
then the general manager, Dr.V.Kurien who supported and guided the Baroda Milk
Union. This union has strong leadership of Shri Maganbhai Patel, Founder Chairman
and Shri Jashvantlal Shah, Deputy Minister in the then state of Bombay. Under their
dynamic leadership the foundation stone of this union was laid.
First six milk co-operative societies became founder members of this union from
where the milk was brought for distribution, but, in the absence of adequate facilities for
chilling and pasteurization it was thought best to postpone the rural milk collection. In
turn, pasteurized hygienic milk from Amul Milk Union was brought for distribution to the
consumers of the Baroda city.
The foundation stone of 50,000 LPD Dairy Plant was laid on 24thAugust 1962, by
Shri T.K. Patel, the Doyen of the Co-operative Dairy Movement in Gujarat. In the year
1963-64 milk distribution through 21 Distribution centres were started in an organized
way.
In the year 1964-65, the union started its milk procurement from 120 milk co-
operative societies. The dairy plant commissioned on25th April, 1965, was inaugurated
by Shri Morarjibhai Desai, the then Finance Minister, and Government of India. Under
the milk distribution system, pasteurized milk in the bottles was supplied to the city
consumers. The bottling plant was set by UNICEF in collaboration with CARE to supply
the reconstitutes milk to school children on matching contribution basis.

Production Department is most important part in any organization, firm,
company or co-operative sectors. Production can be made for the middle users or for
the end-users (direct consumers). Production do the main work of converting raw
material into semi-finished or finished goods, it depends on what kind of production the
organization is doing.
In the context of BARODA DAIRY, people have endless demand for milk and
milk products. BARODA DAIRY undertakes the procurement of milk and its production
likewise satisfying the needs and demand of people. It estimates the demand and

Finance Department
INTRODUCTION
Finance is the most crucial part in any organization. Finance is required in each
& every stage of the business. Business is nothing but a process of making money
through money.
The primary purpose of the Finance Department is to monitor and report on the
financial position of the Baroda Dairy and to provide an excellent level of service to their
public customers and customers in other City Departments.
It can be acquired through various sources. After the acquisition of finance, the
work of utilization of finance is to be decided. The finance department has to deal with
not only the procurement of finance but also with the proper utilization of it. Finance is
the basic requirement for purchase of assets, production of goods, marketing, selling,
etc. The finance department takes the decision regarding financial matters. Thus, we
can say that finance dept. is one of the most important dept.
Baroda dairy does not raise finance for short term as all the requirement for
short-term finance are fulfilled by the internal sources (i.e. reserves & surplus). Mostly,
finance is raised from long-term sources of finance. All the requirement of finance is
fulfilled either by issuing equity shares or by taking loan from “National Dairy
Development Board”. The repayment of loan is done in equal installments, the amount
is pre-decided. Generally, 6% interest is charged on the amount of loan.
• Raising Funds.
• Cost allocation.
Baroda dairy is a co-operative society and its shares are out listed in stock
exchange. However the shares are purchased by the milk societies who can easily
become its members. These societies are not paid dividend but get prices difference.
“BARODA DAIRY” does not have any other source of raising fund from its
profits. For any undertaking it is financial by NDDB or self financing.
Marketing Department
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF MARKETING DEPARTMENT
INTRODUCTION
“It is clearly said that Marketing Department is the Front Face of any
organization or firm”. This is said because marketing is the only means from where
the consumers can know about the upcoming products of the firm or organization. This
indirectly gives result in increased sales of products.
Marketing - in other sense, means promoting the product publically and to bring
revenue through sales. Marketing Department does the function of creating demand in

Pricing Policy
“Price” may be defined as the value of product expressed in the monetary terms
which a consumer pay or expected to pay in exchange and anticipation of the expected
or offered utility. Therefore, we can say “price is a link between the consumer and
organisation”. As the main objective of Baroda dairy is not profit maximisation, so it sets
reasonable price for its products. It considers the interest both the parties. i.e. the
suppliers of milk and the consumers currently, all over India the price of milk is fixed by
the NDDB (National Dairy Development Board)

Suggestions
Baroda dairy should make the efforts to attract the age group of below 20
years as well as also to attract the age group of above 55 to gain more
market share.
Baroda dairy should also make the efforts to increase the products
awareness among the consumers.
The most recommended products of the Baroda dairy by the consumers are
milk and ice-cream. Thus it is very essential for the dairy to improve the
quality and reduce the price of the other products, so that they are also
recommended by the consumers to others to use or consume them which
ultimately increase the sales as well as attract new customers for the same
products.
Baroda dairy should also make some serious effort to made the products
available at any time whenever it is demanded by the consumers as well as
dairy should also give more attention on manufacturing products in various
quantity as per the consumers requirements.
