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.

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 three-
tiered 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

CHAPTER - II
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
