1.1 INTRODUCTION
Labour welfare and safety has seen as one of the most important measures of
performance of an organization. The changes in the work life of employees and
changes in the business environment internal as well as external has brought
tremendous transformation in the organizational behavior. Globalization, Technology,
and other work design factors have forced organizations to focus on employee safety
and welfare.
The various welfare measures provide by the employer will have immediate impact
on Health, physical and mental efficiency alertness, morale and overall efficiency of
the worker and thereby contributing to the higher productivity.Some of the facilities
and services which fall within the preview of labour welfare like adequate canteen
facilities, accommodation, arrangements, recreational facilities,medical facilities and
transportation. Organizationfocus employee safety can provide for higher morale and
productivity in the workplace .This is due to the perception that the company truly
cares about the health and wellbeing of its employees, thus creating a sense of price
for the organization.
The concept of labour safety and welfare are flexible and widely differ with respect to
time ,region, industry, country, social value and customs ,degree of industrialization
the general socio – economic development of the people and political ideologies
prevailing at a particular time .Employee welfare is a term including various services,
Benefits and facilities offered to employee by the employers .this includes item such
as allowance , housing ,transportation ,medical insurance and food .Employee welfare
also includes monitoring of working conditions ,creation of industrial harmony
through infrastructure for health ,industrial relation ,insurance against disease
,accidents and unemployment for the workers and their families . Thus employee
safety and welfare measures have a great role in the level of satisfaction of job.
Thus employee safety and welfare measures have a great role in the level of
satisfaction of job.
Safety and welfare is the main concern for the employees .An environment should be
created such that the employees work fearlessly , focusing on their job rather that take
utmost care of the employees and its family ,in case anything happen . Organization
should make an attempt to make its associates aware of all the related issues .This in
turn will improve the employee productivity and efficiency. The concept of labour
welfare and safety is very wide, so this project study mainly focus on whether the
company is providing necessary labour welfare and safety measures and satisfaction
of the employees.
SAFETY: safety in the workplace means having an environment free from injury and
hazards. Proper processes and procedures will allow employees to work without
worrying about the safety.
Joshi (1927) in his book ‘Trade union movement in India ‘Bombay, pp.157-169 felt.
That Welfare work covers all the efforts which employers make for the benefits of
their employees over and above the minimum standard of working conditions fixed by
the minimum standard of working conditions fixed by the factories act and over and
above The provisions of the social legislations providing against accident, old age,
unemployment, sickness etc.
Srivastava (1953) in his thesis “Labour welfare and industrial peace in India
“detailed upon The labour welfare measures undertaken by select public and private
sector companies in India .He found that public sector companies are far better than
their private counter parts In the provision of welfare facilities to works and
employees.
VermaOmprakash (1958 – 65) in his thesis “labour welfare and industrial peace in
India “Stated that many industries fail to prove adequate welfare facilities to their
employees due to which industrial unrest had become a common phenomenon among
various industries.
K.S Garewal (1978) in his article “dimensions of welfare in coal industries “in 1973
has brought about a major change in its operating philosophy and as a result employee
welfare has been accorded top priority.
Tyagis (1982) in his book “labour economies and social welfare “discussed the
welfare practice in India such as the provision of intramural and extramural welfare
facilities. He also discussed the various agencies involved in labour welfare. However
the study is totally theoretical in nature.
Ahuja(1988) in his book “personal management “emphasized need for labour and
social in India. He felt that provision of welfare and social security making the
employees satisfied with their jobs leading to their improved performance.
Arun Monappa (1990) in his book “discussed labour welfare and social security
measures in detail.He also explained the various problems faced by the enforcement
machinery in the implementation of these welfare and safety measures.
Kandwaty (1997) examined management fails to provide a safe and satisfying work
climate, workers should respond by absenteeism, lateness or deliberately working
slowly due to some financial constraints both enterprises end up finding themselves
not employing a range of health and wellness initiatives to address health progress
workplace.
Alexander and Michael (1998) undertook to assess the merits of such training rules
to achieve this objective and to sort out factors of consequence. The review focused
on published reports, primarily drawn from the period 1980 through 1996, wherein
training was used as an intervention effort to reduce risk of work-related injury and
disease.
Joseph et.al (2010)studied in the article points out that the structure of a welfare state
rests on its social security fabric .Government ,employers and trade unions have done
a lot to promote the betterment of worker’s conditions.
Ramanigopal .C. (2012) conducted the company has given maximum effort and
dedication implement the labour laws and regulations and it has succeeded in
implementing effective safety and health management considering the type of safety
and health management considering the type of safety and health problems,
accidents,employees and technology in its organizational settings and also good level
of satisfaction among employees regarding healthy and safety has been acheived.
Srinivas (2013) identified welfare facilities and employees satisfaction level about
welfare facilities adopted at Bosch ltd, Banglore. It is found that most of the welfare
facilities like medical, canteen, working environment, safety measures etc are
provided by the company and most of the employees are satisfied with the welfare
facilities adopted by the company towards the employee’s welfare.
Human resources are the most important resources of any organization. Here
is the duty of the management to look after the welfare measures of the employees. If
the employees are satisfied with the provided welfare measures, the production will
increase. The welfare measures of the employee are essential because of the nature of
the industrial system. Today labours are an essential element contributing to the
growth the organization. .If we make an overall survey of the living and working
condition of industrial labours, the necessity of labour welfare measures would be
apparent.
Labour welfare and safety is the main concern for employees in every organization as
its helps to bring about all round development of the workers. An environment should
be created such that the employees work fearlessly, focusing on their work rather than
safety issues. Welfare measures should be adopted by the organizations in a way to
take utmost care of the employees and its family, in case anything happens.
Organization should make an attempt to make its associates aware of all the related
issues. This in turn will improve the employee productivity and efficiency.
Labour welfare plays a vital part in the implementation of new schemes and to
develop the organization. The study on ‘LABOUR WELFARE AND SAFETY
MEASURES’ in milma dairy is to analyze the effectiveness of safety and welfare
activities of the organization and to ensure personal satisfaction and enhance worker’s
morale .The study on this topic in the changing socio-economic scenario invites due
to the importance for the employees of the company and its effectiveness.
1. To understand the awareness of safety and welfare facilities amoung the employees
provide d by the organization.
4. To give suggestions to improve the labour welfare and safety measures in MILMA
RESEARCH DESIGN
Descriptive research design is used in this study. The research design simply
describes the accurate description of customers who are the products .The descriptive
study is typically, concerned with determining the frequency with which something
occurs. It includes survey and fact finding enquiries at different kinds.
SAMPLING DESIGN
The method of sampling used was random sampling. Random sampling forms a finite
population refers to that method of sample selection which is given each possible
sample selection which is given each possible sample combination an equal
probability of being picked up and each item in the entire item in the entire population
to have equal chance of being included in the sample. The sampling unit is the basic
unit containing the elements of the target population. In the study, the individual
employees are those who work in MILMA dairy,
It is an act of collecting relevant and adequate data required for the research from
sample size. Generally two methods are used to collect data from users. The present
study requires the use of both primary and secondary data.
Primary data
The primary data are those data which are collected for the first time. For the study,
structured questionnaire and personal interviews were held with the HR manager of
MILMA at Ambalathara to collect information regarding the labour safety and
welfare.
Secondary data
The required data have been collected from unpublished materials and published
articles from various journals of the MILMA. Secondary data were collected from
periodicals, annual reports published by the company and the information related to
the topic under consideration was collected by means of books relating to the subjects.
SAMPLE SIZE
The sample size refers to the number of items to be selected from the universe to
constitute a sample. The sample size of the study is 50 employees of Milma at
Ambalathara, Trivandrum.
2. The sample size being 50 only the result obtained cannot be generalized.
5. All the employees are busy with their works. It becomes very difficult

2.1 SAFETY
"Every twenty seconds of every working minute of every hour throughout the world,
someone dies as a result of an accident. This was how the seriousness of industrial
accidents was described by the Director General of the British Council, in his message
of good wishes to the Seventh National Conference on Industrial Safety and Health
organised by the National Safety Council, India. Safety refers to the absence of
accidents Stated differently; safety refers to the protection of workers from the danger
of accidents
Accidents are of different types. They may be classified as major and minor ones,
depending upon the severity of the injury. An accident which ends in a death, or
which does not seriously disable him or her is a minor accident, but an accident
nevertheless. An accident may be internal or external. If a worker falls, or an object
falls on him or her, it is possible he or she may show no external signs of injury, but
he or she may have fractured a bone or strained a muscle or nerve - which is an
internal injury. A worker may be disabled by an injury for an hour, half a day, a week,
or a month. If he or she recovers from such a disability, his or her disability is
temporary. If the injury is such that he or she will never recover fully, his or her
disability is permanent. Again, a disability may be partial or total. Accidents may be
fatal or non-fatal.
1. Cost Saving
Two types of costs are incurred by the management when an accidents occurs. There
are the direct costs, in the form of compensation payable to the dependents of the
victim if the accidents fatal and medical expenses incurred in treating the patient if the
accident is non-fatal
2. Increased Productivity
Safety plants are efficient plants. To a large extent, safety promotes productivity.
Managers must undertake accident prevention measures to minimise the pain and
suffering the injured worker and his or her family is often exposed to as a result of the
accident
4. Legal
There are legal reasons for undertaking safety measures. There are laws covering
occupational health and safety and penalties for non-compliance had become quite
severe. The responsibility extends to the safety and health of the surroundings
community too
Fencing of machinery, All dangerous and moving parts of machinery shall be securely
fenced Screws, bolts and teeth shall be completely encased to prevent danger. Work
on or near machinery in motion-Lubrication or other adjusting operation on moving
machinery shall be done only by a specially trained adult male worker. Employment
of young person on dangerous machines-No young person shall be allowed to work
on any dangerous machine (so prescribed by the state government) unless he is
sufficiently trained or is working under the supervision of knowledgeable person
Device for cutting off power-Suitable device for cutting of power in emergencies shall
be provided Hoists and lifts- These shall be made of good material and strength,
thoroughly examined at least one in every six months and suitably protected to
prevent any person or thing from being trapped.
SAFETY PROGRAMME
Safety programme deals with the prevention of accidents and with minimizing
resulting loss and damage to persons and property. Five basic principles must govern
the safety programme of an organisation. The five principles are:
a. Comprehensive and effective system for reporting all accidents causing damage or
injury:
e. Proper means available for persuading managers, supervisors and workers to pay
more attention to safety matters.
4. The management and the supervision must be made fully accountable for the safety
performance in the working areas they control.
5. All employees should be given through training in safe methods of work and they
should receive continuing education and guidance in eliminating safety hazards and
prevention of accidents.
STRATEGIC CHOICES
The first step in a safety programme is for managements to make decisions regarding
safety of their workers. Many of the decisions made are base on strategic available to
the organisation. Some of these strategic choices are:
1. Managers must determine the level of the protection the organisation will provide
for employees
4. Managers can decide to use the safety of workers as a marketing tool for the
organisation.
The second step in evolving a safety programme is to have a safety policy. A policy
specifies the company's goals and designates the responsibilities and authority for the
achievement. A safety policy must contain a declaration of the organization’s intent
and the means by which the intent is to be realized. The statement should emphasize
four fundamental points:
3. Every effort will be made to involve all managers, supervisors and employees
4. Safety legislations will be complied with, in the spirit as well as the letter of
the law.
2. The unsafe acts of employees are responsible for a majority of accidents. The
employees who suffers a disability injury that might have resulted from the very same
unsafe act. Likewise, employees are exposed to mechanical hazards hundreds of times
before they suffer an injury,
7. The direct employer cost of industrial injuries of compensation claims and for
medical treatment is but one-fourth of the total which the employer must bear.
10. Safety incentive programs should focus on processes rather than outcomes.
12. When people feel empowered, their safe behaviour spreads to other situations.
Welfare means faring or doing well. It is a comprehensive term and refers to the
physical, mental moral and emotional well-being of an individual. Further, the term
welfare is a relative concept relative in time and space. It therefore varies from time to
time, from region from country to country.
It is very difficult to lay down accurately the scope of labour welfare because of the
fact that labour is composed of dynamic individuals with complexity of needs. In the
world of changing values where ideologies are rapidly changing and undergoing
transformation, rigid statement about the field of labour welfare needs to be revised.
The labour welfare work is increasing day by day with increasing opportunities. It is
also increasing with the growing knowledge, experience and techniques. The test of
the welfare activities is that as to how it removes directly and indirectly the
hindrances and restores to the worker the peaceful and joyful living. The welfare work
is concerned with worker and his family and so an able welfare officer programme's
the activities by taking the care of the worker and his family. The scope of the labour
welfare has been described by the different writers and authorities in different ways
The subject of labour welfare facilities is very wide and covers all the amenities and
facilities. The limits for which cannot be rigidly laid down regarding its scope for all
the industries and for all the times. The welfare work generally includes the activity as
such as housing, medical and educational facilities, nutrition including provision of
canteen, rest and recreational, cooperative societies, day nurseries, sanitary,
accommodation, drinking water, holidays with pay provident fund, gratuity. pension,
social insurance, safety provisions, transport facilities to and from working place to
house, uniform protective dress etc. Thus labour welfare is wide term which includes
all such activities which tries to take away the workers from bonds of poverty,
Labour welfare is dependent on certain basic principles, which must be kept in mind
and properly followed to achieve a successful implementation of welfare
programmes. These principles are as follows:
Labour welfare measures cannot be substituted for wages Workers have a right to
adequate wages. But high wages rates alone cannot create a healthy atmosphere nor
bring about of commitment on the part of workers. A combination of social welfare,
emotional welfare and economic welfare together would achieve good results.
According to this principle, has an obligation or duty toward its employees to look
after their welfare. The Constitutions of India, in its Directive Principles of State
Policy, also emphasizes upon this aspect of labour welfare.
3. Principle of Efficiency
provision of a balanced diet and family planning measures are some of the important
program of labour welfare which increases efficiency of the workers, especially in
underdeveloped or developing countries.
4. Principles of Re-personalization
The development of human personality is given here as the goal of industrial welfare
which, according to the principle, should complement the beneficial effects of the
industrial systems. Therefore, it is necessary to implement labour welfare services
both inside and outside the factory, that is, to provide intra-mural and extra-mural
labour welfare services.
This principle emphasizes that the concept of labour welfare must spread throughout
the hierarchy of an organization. Employees at all levels must accept this total concept
of Iabour welfare because, without this acceptance, labour welfare programs will
never really get off the ground
It plays an important role in the success of welfare services. Here, again, welfare is a
total concept. From this angle, a co-ordinate approach will promote a healthy
development of the worker in his work home and community. This is essential for the
sake of harmony and continuity in labour welfare services.
The co-operation of the workers is the basis of this principle. Consultation with and
the agreement of the works in formation and implementation of labour welfare
services are important for their success. Moreover, workers who have a part in
planning these programs get keenly interested in their proper implementation. This
principle is based on the assumption that the workers are "a mature and rational
individual." Industrial democracy is the driving force here. Workers also develop a
sense of pride when they are made to fell that labour welfare programs are created by
them and for them.
8. Principle of Responsibility
This recognizes the fact that both employers and workers are responsible for labour
welfare. Trade union; too, are involved in these programs in a health manner, for
basically labour welfare should belong to the domain of the trade unions. Further,
when responsibility is shared by different groups, labour welfare work becomes
simpler and easier. Accordingly, various committees are elected or nominated and
various power and responsibility in the welfare field are delegated to them. For
instance, the safety committee, the canteen committee and the sport committee- all
work in their respective areas simultaneously with specific purposes. They function
over limited periods and when they are dissolved, fresh committee are elected or
nominated.
9. Principles of Accountability
This can also be called the Principle of Evaluation. Here, one responsible person gives
and assessment or evaluation of existing welfare services on a periodical basis to a
higher authority. This is very necessary, for then, one can judge and analyse a success
of labour welfare programs Proper scientifically made evaluation is lacking in labour
welfare services in Indian industries
The timeliness any service helps in its success. It find out what labour problems are
and to discover what kind of help is necessary to solve the problems and when to
provide this help, are all very necessary planning in labour welfare programs. Timely
action in the proper direction is essential in any kind of social work
Last, but not least in importance is the fact that labour welfare must aim at helping
workers to help them in long run. This helps them to become responsible and more
efficient persons.
Seven theories, constituting the conceptual framework of labour welfare, have so far
been outlined. These are as follows
This is based on the contention that a minimum standard of welfare is necessary for
labourers. According to this theory, owners and managers of industrial undertaking
get many opportunities for exploitation of labour. Hence, the state has to intervene to
provide minimum standard of welfare to working class. A number of laws were
enacted to control management to provide minimum wages, congenial working
conditions, reasonable hours of work and social security.
This is based on the concept that man is essentially "a religious animal". According to
this theory, any good work is considered as "investment by which both the benefactor
and the beneficiary are rewarded.Some people take up welfare work in a spirit of
atonement for acts of omissions and commissions divinely forbidden of their sins.
Thus, the benevolent acts of welfare are treated either as an investment or atonement.
In Greek, "philos' means loving and "anthropes" means man, therefore, philanthropic
means "loving mankind". However this theory cannot be universal or
continuous.Irregular and occasional philanthropic acts welfare may sometimes defect
the very purpose of welfare. All the same, the philanthropic sentiments on the part of
employers and others have worked well in certain establishments and on certain
occasions.
This also called as the Paternalistic Theory of Labour Welfare, according to which the
industrialists or employers holds the total industrial estate properties and profits
accruing from them in at test. The main emphasis of this theory is that employers
should provide funds on an ongoing basis for the well being of their employees. Since
it has no legal sanction, its value is related to the moral conscience of the industrialist.
This theory is based on the fact that labour groups are becoming more demanding and
more conscious of their rights and privileges than ever before. According to this
theory, timely periodical acts of labour welfare can appease the workers. They are
some kind of pacifiers which come with a friendly gesture.
This theory provides the basis for an atmosphere of good will between labour and
management and also between management and the public. Labour welfare
programmers under this theory, work as sort of an advertisement and help an
organization to project its good image and promote good and healthy public relations.
But his kind of programmed may lack sincerity and continuity. When such a
programme loses its advertisement value, it may tend to become a publicity stunt
This is also called the Efficiency theory. According to this theory welfare work is
used as a means to secure, preserve and develop the efficiency and productivity of
labours. It is obvious that if an employer takes good care of his workers, they will
tend to become more efficient and will there by step up production. But all this will
depend on a healthy collaboration between union and management and their mutual
concern for the growth and development of the industry. Any higher production is of
benefit to both management and labour. The latter will get better wages and perhaps a
share in the profits. This theory is reflection of contemporary support for labour
welfare. It can work well if the parties have an identical aim in view, that is, higher
production through better welfare And this will ultimately encourage labour's
participation in welfare programmes
The various approaches to labour welfare reflect the attitudes and benefits of the
agencies which are engaged in welfare activities. Welfare facilities may be provided
on religious philanthropic or some other grounds.
The Directive Principles of State Policy in our Constitution expresses the need for
labour welfare thus:
1) The State shall strive to promote the welfare of the people by securing and
protection as effectively as it may a social order in which justice, social, economic
and political, shall inform all the institutions of the national life.
2) The State shall, in particular, direct its policy towards securing that the citizens,
men and women equally have the right to an adequate means of livelihood
3) That the ownership and control material resources are so distributed as to sub serve
the common good
2. Welfare measures are in addition to regular wages and other economic benefits
available to workers due to legal provisions and collective bargaining
3. Labour welfare schemes are flexible and ever-changing. New welfare measures are
added to the existing ones from time to time.
5. The purpose of labour welfare is to bring about the development of the whole
personality of the workers to make a better workforce.
1. They provide better physical and mental health to workers and thus promote a
healthy work environment
2. Facilities like housing schemes, medical benefits, and education and recreation
facilities for workers' families help in raising their standards of living. This make
workers to pay more attention towards work and thus increases their productivity
3. Employers get stable labour force by providing welfare facilities. Workers take
active interest in their jobs and work with a feeling of involvement and participation

The project impact was so widespread that close to about 83% of the adult cattle of
the state got converted to the new breed "Sunandini". The Milk production increased
by over ten times and the per-capital availability of Milk increased by over 7 times
with over a million families dependent on milk production. The project has succeeded
in integrating better technology how the high productive, semi fed cows led to a
spontaneous decline in the total bovine population of India went through an upsurge.
The project demonstrated revolutionary institutional changes beginning with the Indo
Swiss project of Kerala, an autonomous institution under the Government of Kerala to
the Livestock Development and Milk Marketing Board and then to the present
autonomous company- the Kerala Livestock Development Board, with the formidable
dairy co-operative system under the Kerala Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation
(MILMA), under the guidance of its first managing director S.Nagarjunan IAS, spun
off as successful an independent entity. Kerala's Milk demand or consumption per day
is 10.90 lakhs liters, whereas total production in Kerala amounts to 7.8 lakhs liters per
day. Thus, Kerala imports round about 3 lakhs liters per day of milk from Karnataka,
Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra.
The name MILMA has been derived from the cumbersome predecessor, Kerala
Livestock Development Board and Milk Marketing Board (KLD & MMB).
KLD&MMB existed from 1976 to 1981. The name MILMA was coined at the official
level by Mr. S. Nagarajan IAS. The consumers had to purchase coupon booklets in
advance and exchange the coupons in exchange of milk. No mechanism existed
totally the sale of milk and the coupons received. Mr. Nagarajan bought about a
change in this system by making the consumer par for Milk at the time of purchase
instead of the coupon booklet system. Moreover at that time milk was being sold in
bottles and for the first time in India he introduced milk in 1/2 liter sachets. He had a
prototype machine for packaging milk in sachets installed in Thiruvananthapuram.
From the public sector he removed the sale of milk from MILMA. From 1981
onwards under advice of Dr. Varghese Kurian by forming o-operative societies Prayer
Gopalakrishnan and others were able to introduce MILMA to the whole of
Kerala.Thiruvananthapuram Regional Co-operative Milk Producers Union
It has successfully faced odds like excessive procurement in the initial stages and
consequent losses, stagnation of sales in early 1990's and of late shortage of milk and
related problems and consequent loss. With such diverse experience in the past and
the talent pool it has, it can face any adverse environmental problems successfully. In
1985, Union started operation from the old Thiruvananthapuram Dairy handed over
by KLD & MM Board which was selling milk in Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam
districts and having a capacity of 40,000 LDP. The first Dairy plant under OF II
project in TRCMPU area was commissioned at Kollam with a capacity of 60,000
LPD in 1986. Subsequently Chilling Plants with capacity of 10,000 LPD each were
set up at Munnar and Pathanamthitta. New Dairy Plant at Alappuzha with a capacity
of 60,000 LPD was commissioned in 1986, and new Dairy Plant with one lakh LPD
capacity was commissioned at Thiruvananthapuram in 1992. The Dairy plant at
Alappuzha was transferred to KCMMF in 1992 in order to facilitate operation of
Powder Plant set up at Alappuzha for handling surplus milk in the State. The entire
milk is collected through Bulk milk coolers. The dairy has a capacity to handle one
lakh LPD was commissioned in 1992. There was no other dairy selling milk in
Trivandrum district except in Chirayinkeezh Taluk. In 2009 the capacity of bulk
coolers is increased as 3 lakh liters per day. Kerala Co-operative Milk Marketing
Federation was established in 1980 with Head Office at Trivandrum. MILMA has
developed a long-term health perspective about the people of the state, who suffer
from life style diseases including diabetes and obesity, albeit economic prosperity. So,
MILMA has attuned its products to ensure balanced nutrition as well as reduced cost
of healthcare and also launched new beverages other than milk products. Founded on
the basis of the great democratic principle of the people, by the people and for the
people', the dominant concern of MILMA is to render true service to society while
ensuring that it does not insure losses. Trivandrum Dairy is the first organization to
INTERNATIONAL SCENARIO
The international dairy federation, with its headquarters 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 is in India, where large modern 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 associations which helped the diary industries. After
1950s dairy industries faced a wide range of development throughout the world.
NATIONAL SCENARIO
Indian dairy sector has come a long way from price independence era of acute milk
shortage and dependent on foreign aid in the form of milk powder to meet the
growing milk demand. As a result of this a dairy co-operative society was registered
in 1913 for meeting this problem. Later Kaira District milk supply union was formed
at Anand. It was an important land mark in the history of the co-operative dairy
sector. Inspired by the achievements of this institution, the Government of India
constituted a National Dairy Development Board in 1965.
ANAND PATTERN
ANAND is a small village of farmers in Kaira District of Gujarat. ANAND Milk
Union Limited is a Co-operative Society formed by the farmers of Anand Village for
the purpose of distribution of milk. Now the world famous Anand Milk Union
Limited is popularly known as Amul.
The Anand Milk Union Limited has a three tier structure.
Village level Primary Co-operative Society called APCOS.
District Milk Producers Union.
State Level Milk Marketing Federation.
OPERATION FLOOD
Operation Flood is an important move in the history of dairy development in India.
Operating Flood was conceived and formulated by National Dairy Development
Board during the fourth plan. It aimed at establishing a broad base for acceleration
and development of the dairy industry sponsored by the European Economic
Community through world food programme. Operation Flood was conducted to meet
India's rapidly increasing need for milk and milks product, and making dairy industry
capable of viable and self-sustaining growth. The ideology followed by Operation
Flood was the remunerative linking of the rural milk production centre with the urban
demand centre so as to build up a viable dairy industry.
STATE SCENARIO
Dairy co-operatives were also developed in Kerala as a part of operation flood. Dairy
co-operatives have a three tier structure in Kerala with primary milk supply society at
the base and milk supply union at the district level and a state level federation. This
co-operative society follows the Anand pattern of dairy development scheme. Apart
from the state federation two regional unions were also formed in our state.
HISTORY OF MILMA
For the rural community of the country comprising of six lakh villages and lakhs of
dairy farmers, milk has become a commodity that has helped them to build a new life
and provide stable income. Milma believes in developing rural village community
which only helps to develop a strong nation. In its endeavor to meet the ever
increasing consumer demand MILMA strives to provide quality products at
