    PREFACE

    The BBA is well structured and integrated course of business studies. The mainobjective of practical training at BBA level is to develop skill in student bysupplement to the theoretical study of business management in general.Industrial training helps to gain real life knowledge about the industrialenvironment and business practices. The BBA provides student with a

    fundamental knowledge of business and organizational functions and activities,as well as an exposure to strategic thinking of management.

    In every professional course, training is an important factor. Professors give ustheoretical knowledge of various subjects in the college but we are practicallyexposed of such subjects when we get the training in the organization. It is onlythe training through which I come to know that what an industry is and how itworks. I can learn about various departmental operations being performed in theindustry, which would, in return, help me in the future when I will enter thepractical field.

    Training is an integral part of PGDBM and each and every student has to undergothe training for 2 months in a company and then prepare a project report on thesame after the completion of training.

    During this whole training I got a lot of experience and came to know aboutthe management practices in real that how it differs from those of theoreticalknowledge and the practically in the real life.

    In todays globalize world, where cutthroat competition is prevailing in themarket, theoretical knowledge is not sufficient. Beside this one need to have

    practical knowledge, which would help an individual in his/her carrier activitiesand it is true that Experience is best teacher.

    INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY

    In the year 1946 the first milk union was established. This union wasstarted with 250 liters of milk per day. In the year 1955 AMUL was established. In

    the year 1946 the union was known as KAIRA DISTRICT CO-OPERATIVE MILK

    PRODUCERS UNION. This union selected the brand name AMUL in 1955.

    The brand name Amul means AMULYA. This word derived form the

    Sanskrit word AMULYA which means PRICELESS. A quality control

    expert in Anand had suggested the brand name AMUL. Amul products have

    been in use in millions of homes since 1946. Amul Butter, Amul Milk Powder,Amul Ghee, Amulspray, Amul Cheese, Amul Chocolates, Amul Shrikhand, Amul Ice

    cream, Nutramul, Amul Milk and Amulya have made Amul a leading food brand in

    India. (The total sale is Rs. 6 billion in 2005). Today Amul is a symbol of many

    things like of the high-quality products sold at reasonable prices, of the genesis of

    a vast co-operative network, of the triumph of indigenous technology, of the

    marketing savvy of a farmers' organization. And have a proven model for dairy

    development (Generally known as ANAND PATTERN).

    In the early 40s, the main sources of earning for the farmers of Kaira

    district were farming and selling of milk. That time there was high demand for

    milk in Bombay. The main supplier of the milk was Polson dairy limited, which

    was a privately owned company and held monopoly over the supply of milk at

    Bombay from the Kaira district. This system leads to exploitation of poor and

    illiterates farmers by the private traders. The traders used to beside the prices of

    milk and the farmers were forced to accept it without uttering a single word.

    However, when the exploitation became intolerable, the farmers were

    frustrated. They collectively appealed to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who was a

    leading activist in the freedom movement. Sardar Patel advised the farmers to

    sell the milk on their own by establishing a co-operative union, Instead of

    supplying milk to private traders. Sardar Patel sent the farmers to Shri Morarji

    Desai in order to gain his co-operation and help. Shri Desai held a meeting at

    7

  • 8/2/2019 mmohit sharma

    8/39

    Samarkha village near Anand, on 4th January 1946. He advised the farmers to

    form a society for collection of the milk.

    These village societies would collect the milk themselves and would decide

    the prices at which they can sell the milk. The district union was also form to

    collect the milk from such village co-operative societies and to sell them. It was

    also resolved that the Government should be asked to buy milk from the union.

    However, the govt. did not seem to help farmers by any means. It gave the

    negative response by turning down the demand for the milk. To respond to this

    action of govt., the farmers ofKaira district went on a milk strike. For 15 whole

    days not a single drop of milk was sold to the traders. As a result the Bombay

    milk scheme was severely affected. The milk commissioner of Bombay then

    visited Anand to assess the situation. Having seemed the condition, he decided to

    fulfill the farmers demand.

    Thus their cooperative unions were forced at the village and district level to

    collect and sell milk on a cooperative basis, without the intervention of

    Government. Mr. Verghese Kurien showed main interest in establishing union

    who was supported by Shri Tribhuvandas Patel who lead the farmers in

    forming the Co-operative unions at the village level. The Kaira district milk

    producers union was thus established in ANAND and was registered formally on

    14th December 1946. Since farmers sold all the milk in Anand through a co-

    operative union, it was commonly resolved to sell the milk under the brand name

    AMUL.

    At the initial stage only 250 liters of milk was collected everyday. But with the

    growing awareness of the benefits of the cooperativeness, the collection of milkincreased. Today Amul collect 11 lakhs liters of milk everyday. Since milk was a

    perishable commodity it becomes difficult to preserve milk flora longer period.

    Besides when the milk was to be collected from the far places, there was a fear of

    spoiling of milk. To overcome this problem the union thought out to develop the

    chilling unit at various junctions, which would collect the milk and could chill it, so

    as to preserve it for a longer period. Thus, today Amul has more than 150

    8

  • 8/2/2019 mmohit sharma

    9/39

    chilling centers in various villages. Milk is collected from almost 1073

    societies.

    With the financial help from UNICEF, assistance from the govt. of New

    Zealand under the Colombo plan, of Rs. 50 millions for factory to manufacture

    milk powder and butter was planned. Dr.Rajendra Prasad, the president ofIndia laid the foundation on November 15, 1954. Shri Pandit Jawaharlal

    Nehru, the prime minister of India declared it open at Amul dairy on November

    20, 1955.

    PEOPLE POWER: AMUL'S SECRET OF SUCCESS

    The system succeeded mainly because it provides an assured market at

    remunerative prices for producers' milk besides acting as a channel to market the

    production enhancement package. What's more, it does not disturb the agro-

    system of the farmers. It also enables the consumer an access to high quality

    milk and milk products. Contrary to the traditional system, when the profit of the

    business was cornered by the middlemen, the system ensured that the profit

    goes to the participants for their socio-economic upliftment and common good.

    Looking back on the path traversed by Amul, the following features make it a

    pattern and model for emulation elsewhere.

    Amul has been able to:

    Produce an appropriate blend of the policy makers farmers board of

    management and the professionals: each group appreciating its rotes and

    limitations,

    9

  • 8/2/2019 mmohit sharma

    10/39

    Bring at the command of the rural milk producers the best of the

    technology and harness its fruit for betterment.

    Provide a support system to the milk producers without disturbing their

    agro-economic systems,

    Plough back the profits, by prudent use of men, material and machines, in

    the rural sector for the common good and betterment of the member

    producers and

    Even though, growing with time and on scale, it has remained with the

    smallest producer members. In that sense. Amul is an example par

    excellence, of an intervention for rural change.

    The Union looks after policy formulation, processing and marketing of milk,

    provision of technical inputs to enhance milk yield of animals, the artificial

    insemination service, veterinary care, better feeds and the like - all through the

    village societies. Basically the union and cooperation of people brought Amul into

    fame i.e. AMUL (ANAND MILK UNION LIMITED), a name which suggest THE

    TASTE OF INDIA.

    Plants

    First plant is at ANAND, which engaged in the manufacturing of milk, butter,

    Today, twelve dairies are producing different products under the brand name

    Amul. Today Amul dairy is no. 1 dairy in Asia and no. 2 in the world, which is

    matter of proud for Gujarat and whole India.

    1. RESEARCH PROBLEM

    Increase the awareness level ofAMUL CHOCOLATE.

    Seek the general perception of consumer towards AMUL CHOCOLATE.

    To find the performance ofAMUL CHOCOLATE vis--vis other Brands.

    To know the consumer psyche and their behaviour towards AMULCHOCOLATE.

    2. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES & related sub objectives

    To know the relationship of sales with the advertisement.

    To know awareness of people towards Amul chocolates.

    To know in which segment chocolates are mostly like/preferred.

    To know which advertisement tool is mostly preferred by people.

    To know the preference ofAmul chocolates with comparison toOther competitive brands.

    To know the factors which affects consumers buying behaviour

    to purchase chocolates.

    3. Information requirement

    First, I had to know about all the competitors present in the chocolate

    segment (Reputed and well established brands as well as Local brands).13

  • 8/2/2019 mmohit sharma

    14/39

    Before going for the survey I had to know the comparative packs and

    prices of all the competitors existing in the market.

    Since chocolate is a product that attracts children and youngsters hence I

    had to trace the market and segment it, which mainly deals with people of

    various age groups.

    As chocolate is different product, the main information needed is the

    various types of chocolates available in the market, their calorific value and

    various other facts. They can be termed as :

    As Amul chocolate advertisements are mainly done through hoardings buton television the advertisement is being telecasted timely and on theproper time or not.

    AMUL CHOCOLATE is made from Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Milk Solids,

    Chocolate mass.

    14

    Composition:

    Milk Fat 2%

    Sugar 55%

    Total Fat 32.33% + Cocoa Fat)

    Cocoa Solids 7.5%

    Milk Solids 20%

    4. Choice of research design alternatives & choice

    Despite the difficulty of establishing an entirely satisfactory classification system,it is helpful to classify marketing research on the basis of the fundamental

    objectives of the research. Consideration of the different types, their applicability,their strengths, and their weakness will help the student to select the type bestsuited to a specific problem.

    The two general types of research are:

    EXPLORATORY RESEARCH

    Exploratory research seeks to discover new relationship, emphasis on discoveryof ideas.

    Marketing researches devote a significant portion of their work on exploratorystudies when very little is known about the problem being examined.

    CONCLUSIVE RESEARCH

    Conclusive studies attempts to determine the frequency with which somethingoccurs or the relationship between two phenomenons. Usually conclusive studiesassume certain under underlying characteristics of the market or have someprecise statement of research questions/hypothesis.

    5. RESEARCH INSTRUMENT USED - DETAILS & WHY?

    If one wants to know what type of dentifrice people use, what they think of,television commercials, or why they buy particular brands of cars, the naturalprocedure is to ask them. Thus, the questionnaire method has come to be themore widely used of the two data collection method. Many consumers are now

    15

  • 8/2/2019 mmohit sharma

    16/39

    familiar with the telephone caller who greets them with We are making asurvey, and then proceeds to ask a series of questions. Some interviews areconducted in person, others by telephone, and others by mail. Each of these hasits special advantages and disadvantages and limitations. The questionnairemethod in general, however, has a number of pervasive advantages anddisadvantages. Discussion of particular variations will be more meaningful ifthese characteristics of the general methods are brought out first.

    A questionnaire consists of list of questions to be asked from the respondents andthe space provided to record the answer / responses. Questionnaire can be usedfor the personal interviews, focus groups, mails and telephonic interviews. Thechoice among these alternatives is largely determined by the type of informationto be obtained and by the type of respondents from whom it is to be obtained.

    The common factor in all varieties of the questionnaire method is this reliance onverbal responses to question, written or oral.

    Questionnaire in the project consists of:

    Multiple choice questions Dicthomus

    MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS:

    Questions of this type offer the respondents an alternative to choose the rightanswer among others. It is faster, time saving and less biased. It also simplifies

    the tabulating process.

    OPEN END QUESTIONS:

    In this type respondents are free to answer in their own words and express theideas they think are relevant, such questions are good as first questions oropening questions. They introduce the subject and obtain general reaction.

    DICTHOMUS:

    These are the questions which are Boolean in nature. These answers arestraightforward and respondents have to answer them in a straight way. Thatmeans the answer can only be either Yes or No.

    6. SAMPLING TECHNIQUE USED & SAMPLE SIZE - WHY?

    16

  • 8/2/2019 mmohit sharma

    17/39

    Sample design is a definite plan of obtaining some items from the wholepopulation. The sample design used in this project is two state sampling i.e.Cluster and convenience. In the probability sampling methods, each items in thesample is chosen one at a time from a complete list of universe elements. Inmarketing research practice, it will sometimes be more expedient to selectclusters or groups of universe elements, rather than to choose sample items

    individually.

    Sampling methods in which universe elements are chosen in groups ---- ratherthan individually -- are called cluster-sampling methods. They are widely used inthe sampling of human populations. When no complete universe listing exists, atype of sampling is called area sampling may be the only practically feasible formof probability sampling.

    NONDISGUISED, STRUCTURED TECHNIQUES

    The non structured techniques for attitude measurement are primarily of value inexploratory studies, where the researcher is looking for the salient attributes ofgiven products and the important factors surrounding purchase decisions as seenby the consumer. Structured techniques can provide a more objectivemeasurement system, one which is more comparable to a scale or a yardstick.The term scaling has been applied to the efforts to measure attitudes objectively,and a number of useful scales have been developed.

    SAMPLING METHODS

    Sample design is a definite plan of obtaining some items from the wholepopulation. The sample design used in this project is two state sampling i.e.cluster sampling and convenience sampling. The whole city was divided intosome geographical areas and I have chosen Memnagar, Ashram road,Sattelite, Bopal, Bodekdev, Vastrapur, Navrangpura, Usmanpura,Maninagar and Narayanpura. The total sample size was 200.

    CLUSTER SAMPLING

    Here the whole area is divided into some geographical area and a definitenumber of consumers were to be surveyed.

    CONVINIENCE SAMPLING

    17

  • 8/2/2019 mmohit sharma

    18/39

    This type of sampling is chosen purely on the basis of convenience and accordingto convenience.I visited Garden, Parks, Temple, Superstores, Theatres andGymnasium.

    FIELD WORK- METHOD USED FOR DATA COLLECTION

    Questionnaire was prepared keeping the objective of research in mind.

    Questions were asked to respondents as regards to there willingness topurchase Chocolates.

    The help of questionnaires conducted direct interviews, in order to getaccurate information.

    In order to get correct information I had to approach consumers rangingfrom 15 yrs to 65 yrs.

    I visited as many respondents as I can and asked them their real likingsabout any chocolate and also got an idea, How a chocolate should be?

    It is really a Herculean task to understand Consumer Behaviour, as thedefinition suggest, Consumer behaviour is a physical activity as wellas decision process individual engaged in when evaluating,acquiring, using and disposing goods and services.

    In order to collect accurate information I visited to Garden, Parks,Temple, Superstores, Theatres and Gymnasium, each and everyquestion was filled personally by the respondents and checked properly.

    People were not willing to answer, when they were contacted between 1.00pm to 5.00 pm, the time when most of the people take rest during thescorching heat.

    When I interviewed children and teenagers, sometimes they use togive answers under the influence of their parents or elders.

    As summer training is going under summer season so sometimes

    people are less interested in filling up questionnaire.

    Sometimes the problem which I face is language problem for which I haveto make them understand.

    Non-cooperative approach and rude behavior of the respondents.

    If the respondents answer does not falls between amongst the optionsgiven then it will turn up to be a biased answer.

    MY FINDINGS

    During the survey it was found that still there are 10% people who

    have not tasted Amul Chocolate.

    Lake of Awareness in consumers. Many people are not know about Amulchocolates specially children and teenagers.

    As I found that the main product of Amul is Milk and company firstlywants to capture maximum market share in milk market which is approx.66%, after it Amul is concentrating upon butter & cheese which has marketshare of approx. 88%, so it is not concentrating upon chocolates.

    When I interviewed people then many of the people can not recall Amul

    chocolate advertisement. It shows Lake of Advertisement oradvertisement is not timely given or advertisement is not given onright time.

    In its advertisement is not using any brand ambassador which attractsall age group people like Cadbury.

    There is lake ofSales Promotional Activities i.e. free tattoo, extraweight, toys, quiz contest etc.

    Cadbury is main competitor and strategically better performer then Amul.

    I find the main thing is that Amul brand name has very good image inconsumers mind and they consider it as Pure & Good Product.

    People who have tasted Amul Chocolate are not ready to purchase thesame again.

    SUGGESTIONS

    In order to maintain and increase the sales in the city ofAhmedabad, thefollowing recommendations regarding Amul Chocolates; particularlyregarding advertisement, distribution, promotional policies, etc, are herebysuggested:

    33/39

    First and foremost Amul should take proper action in order to improveservice, because although being on a top slot in Butter and milk supplies itdoes not get the sales in chocolate, which it should get.

    Company should use brand ambassador which attracts each age segmenti.e. Saniya Mirza, Shaktimaan, Amitabh Bacchan, Superman, Krrish, Jadooetc.

    Amul should give local advertisements apart from the advertisements givenat the national level. Local advertisement must mention the exclusive Amulshops of the city.

    Try and change the perception of the people through word of mouthabout Amul in advertisements, because they are the best source to reachChildren and families.

    Though Amul chocolate advertisements are rarely shown on television yetmany people could recall it as per the data of research. It shows that thereis only need to give advertisement only to rememorize customers. BecauseAmul is very strong brand name.

    Company should launch chocolate in new attractive packing to changeimage of Amul chocolate in consumers mind.

    Company should introduce sales promotion schemes like free weight,

    pranky, tattoo, contest, free gifts etc.

    Advertisement can be done with the help of animations that attractschildren and teenagers because chocolates are consumed largely in thissegment.

    Company should launch chocolates in new flavors like

    CONCLUSION

    35/39

    As we know that Amul is very big organization and market leader indairy products. It has maximum market share in Milk, Butter and Cheese, whichare its main/core products. As we know Amul is a co-operative organisaion butchocolate industry is a profitable industry we cant ignore it. With the help ofresearch, company can find out its week points in chocolate product and canincrease its market share through rectify mistakes. People have believed inAmuls product and they will accept its chocolates also if effective actions were

    taken.

    The survey resulted into following conclusions :

    Amul must come up with new promotional activities such that people

    become aware about Amul Chocolates like Chocozoo, Bindaaz, and

    Fundoo.

    Quality is the dominating aspect which influences consumer to purchase

    Amul product, but prompt availability of other chocolate brands and

    aggressive promotional activities by others influences the consumer

    towards them and also leads to increase sales.

    In comparison to Amul Chocolate, the other players such as Cadbury,

    Nestle, and Perfetti provide a better availability and give competition

    to the hilt.

    People are mostly satisfied with the overall quality of Amul Chocolate, but

    for the existence in the local market Amul must use aggressive selling

    techniques.
