EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The main objective of summer training is to develop skill in student by supplement to the theoretical study of business management in general. Industrial training helps to gain real life knowledge about the industrial environment and business practices. The MBA programmed 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 us theoretical knowledge of various subjects in the college but we are practically exposed of such subjects when we get the training in the organization. It is only the training through which I come to know that what an industry is and how it works. I can learn about various departmental operations being performed in the industry, which would, in return, help me in the future when I will enter the practical field. During this whole training I got a lot of experience and came to know about the management practices in real that how it differs from those of theoretical knowledge and the practically in the real life. In today’s globalize world, where cutthroat competition is prevailing in the market, theoretical knowledge is not sufficient. Beside this one need to have practical knowledge, which would help an individual in his/her carrier activities and it is true that “Experience is best teacher”.

INTRODUCTION OF SARAS DAIRY The “Feeder Balancing Dairy” is located on the out skirts of Jaipur city in Heavy Industrial Area. A uniform piece of 25 acres of land has got road on its front side two sides of this piece of land are free and at the back long way away is ‘’Central Arid Zone’’. Paschimi RajasthanDugadh Utpadak Sahakari Sangh, (Jaipur PRDUSS) was established in the year 1972, under the Operation Flood Programmed finds from D.P.A.P. were utilized for the construction of plant at Jaipur, and later on the establish various chilling centers. Initially five districts of Jaipur, Pali, Jaislmer, Barmer and Nagore were included under PRDUSS. But Pali was hived off later and was made into an independent union. Under Jaipur Union the production of milk is one lack per day while consumption of milk is 73 thousand liters per day. The excess of milk (60 thousand liters) is send to the central dairy Delhi and Gujarat. At present 485 co-operative societies and 347- milk collection canter are functioning where average production of milk is one lack thirty three thousand liters coming in Jaipur dairy through 53,198 milk production’s. Through increase milk production can fight with famine. Man district of Marwar faces with famine in every year but through increase in milk production they do earn money and get relief from famine. There is only source of earning money is selling of milk to DCS. They get payment in cash or bank account after days.

INTRODUCTION TO MARKETING In the previous one decade. We have taken some efforts particularly in the management of milk and products. Particularly the saras has brought a revolutionary change in the management of milk. The skimmed milk powder, pannier in attractive packagers have received positive responses not only in the domestic market but also in the overseas market. However we need qualitative-cum-quantitative improvements on almost all the forms. In the respect the key managerial decision areas are the following:-
Farming the product mix Structuring the distribution channel Managing the pricing Designing the promotion mix?
1). — Farming product mix : we have to follow the following important managerial decision areas in the product mix of milk are as: a) Selection of cows or the she buffaloes: in the product mix of milk the vital managerial decision area to select the particular quality of cows or the she buffaloes, which providing milk in the large
quantity
b) breeding to improve the quality : for this, the producers should also consider the climatic condition and the quality of water and fodder available. The anchor found at nearly place c) Yield of milk: to bring an improvement in the milk supply it is essential that multi-faceted arrangement are made e.g., high quality fodder healthy water adequate med-care and so on. D )seasonal variation in production: this variation is mainly affected by the incidence or calving or milk animals during different month of the year. 2)—Farming/ Structuring Distribution Channel: 26 | P a g e
To be more specific the distribution of milk needs efficient personal and fast transportation.
Establish of co-operative nearer to milk production centers where facilities should
be scientific and adequate. No communication gap between the milk production centers and the milk
consumption centre. The functionaries viz., producers, wholesalers and retailers, should have a coordination.
3) —managing the pricing strategies : The general law of demand and supply is applicable. As and when the supply is higher the price is lower and vice-versa. In the pricing management of milk the following points deserve:
The intermediaries between the producer and consumer (collector and
distributor) should accept reasonable margin. There should be gradation of milk and price for different categories should be
fixed accordingly. The regulatory support exercised by the government would make the pricing strategies rational.
4).-- Designing the promotion mix : The advertisements Saras in almost all leading journals newspapers and magazines. In addition the Saras Dairy also displays their advertisement through radios, TV’s and other devices. It would be important to mention that formation of co-operative or dairy farming would be essential also with the viewpoint of bearing the promotion expenses. Of late, the milk products like skimmed milk, condensed milk and cheese etc. offer gifts, off-price and premium facilities so as to attract the prospects and benefit the functionaries. Meanwhile honorable chief minister of Rajasthan is brand ambassador of Saras brand.

MARKETING-SARAS DAIRY Till very recently, the marketing department was the most neglected. It was only after it was realized that the profits came from city sales, the union started paying attention to this most essential activity-
29 | P a g e
The city sample at Jaipur has increased to nearly 90,000 LPD (june,2009) and has shown a steady growth over the last two years. Toned milk is the only type of milk processed. The dairy also manufactures other fresh products, but the production is order based and is has a very insubstantial contribution towards the total sales of the dairy. A)- DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
The dairy has appointed retailers (booth agents) throughout the city who sell milk. There are 330 agents in the city and these have been distributed over ten different routes. The dairy has provided tin booth to some of the agents while some of them have been 30 | P a g e
provided with parlors. Currently 26 parlors are opened by the union. A break up of types off booth agents is provided in the graph.
The dairy has to spend Rs. 20lacs on transportation for transfer of milk from one place to another
Types of Agents of SARAS (Retailers)
As we see from the figure, more than half of the agents are roadside retailers. Both the shops and parlors are stoned structures the differences being that former are managed by the dairy staff.
31 | P a g e
B)- ASC SUPPLY Supply to the ASC centers from a substantial part of the total sales of the union. Rate of the ASC supply is decides at pune. This process is done through tender. Rajasthan Co-operative Dairy Federation Limited of Jaipur fills tender. The Jaipur union is catering to four ASC centers at present. They are Jaipur, jaisalmer, jessai and Pokaran. The contract is made through RCDF and rates at which supply is decided keeping in mind the prevailing market price at that time. The army pays the transportation cost or as is the case with pokaran ASC the army vehicle comes to collect the milk from the chilling centre. The details for supply are given in the table below:
ASC CENTER Jaipur Jaisalmer Jessai Pokaran
SUPPLY FROM Jaipur Pokaran Barmer Pokaran
AVE.SUPPLY(LPD)approx 5500 1000 900 500
Army supply details From the chilling centers of pokaran and Barmer milk is supplied to ASC centers at jaisalmer and jessai respectively. Barmer center has started city supply since april 1997. Milk from pokaran is supplied in sealed cans to ASC, jaisalmer, while the other two centers (Barmer and Jaipur) supply packed milk to the ASC. C)—PAYMENT AND INDENTING POLICY Every booth has been allotted number, same as the booth registration number, in the Jaipur credit and co-operative Bank(JCCB). By 2 p.m ever day, the booth agent has to deposit the full amount for the quantity of milk he indents for the next day. The total indent list of the booths of all different r routs reaches the dairy by 3p.m and accordingly the production department is given the target for the next day. However in the new indenting policy the transporter collects the indent for the next day and the money when he returns to the booths to collect the carats. 32 | P a g e
D) –COMMISSION AND INCENTIVE SCHEME The commission to a both agent is ninety paisa per liter of milk sold.

Facts and Findings Market for Dairy Industry is captive, as people will stop dairy products. In addition, the market for dairy products will keep on increase will the increase of awareness in the people. Increase in adulterated material is showing a new path to the large scale dairy industry. It also gives a huge employment to many unemployed. The main positive point for the Dairy industry is huge turnover and return with low investment. Large scale dairy industry helps in social benefit by taking care the public health by selling fully Quality control products according to the norms of govt. The industry should also keep an eye on the Fake products produced by the company`s name Company should also see that their products are not sold beyond M.R.P. During the last few years the dairy scenario has undergone a diversity change. Due to entry of other competitors, it has become necessary for saras to frame new strategic that enable them to survive and thrive in the long run. The whole concentration has thus shifted to ensure the customer services with maximum satisfaction of the customers. Customer service in dairy sector refers to the satisfaction of need of the customers at the right time as per their requirements. The quality of customer service directly affects customers patronage as these companies are basically sellers of public utility services. Success or failure of these companies therefore, depends on the quality and the range of services offered to the customers. Though the have a lower share in customer deposits, they command a higher share of the net profit. However, they differentiated their operations by focusing on premier customers and set superior standards in productivity, customer service and operating efficiencies by using state of the art technology. Global best practices were introduced and practiced. More importantly, they built durable competencies by attracting the best manpower, building proprietary technology and process and by building strong brand image. This research study has attempted to assess feedback to the gaps. Which are yet to be. This chapter covers exclusively the analysis of survey results. 53 | P a g e
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
[A] CONSUMER SATISFACTION LEVEL IN MILK Q NO (1)- Milk purchased from?
Key findings and suggestions—total milk consumption in Jaipur urban is approx. 4 lac. Liters. Out of which saras is sharing only 29% market share. So, it is suggested that to increase the market share we should make sound interventions in supply chain management i.e. direct delivery to consumers to grab the share of dholwalas. Strategies against growing share of milk mandi i.e. chowta and local shops must be formulate to gain competitive advantage
54 | P a g e
Q. NO (2)-Packets preferred?
Key finding and suggestion- as standard is in commanding position, but we have to increase the sell of gold, which lays highest margins among all the categories. Gold contains maximum fats and targeting affluent segment of society.
55 | P a g e
Q.NO- (3) Average quantity purchased per month?
Key finding and suggestion- most of the consumers and families are consuming 50 ltrs of milk per month. So it is suggested that we should persuade them to increase the consumption of milk by informing the value and new use of the milk in the dairy life. Consumers, which are purchasing below 50 ltrs per month, should be emphasizing while message is communicated. Advertising is required to them buy more quantity of milk.
56 | P a g e
Key finding and suggestion- As we are offering different mix of fats contents in the packets, so it is quite possible that 37 % people were expecting more then what they have paid in terms of different packets charging differently.
Do you find price set milk packets are reasonable against other milk sources in Jaipur ?
Key finding and suggestion As competitors pricing purely depends upon demand and supply of milk during the different seasons
of the year. So 42 %
people were arguing against the same price all through the year, conveying that they should charge less in winters, when supply of milk is highest and demand is comparatively low. As other sources lower down their prices during winters in absence demand. Pricing strategies can be reformulated to oppose the consumer grievances.
57 | P a g e
Q. NO- (4) IF YOU ARE A SARAS CUSTOMER. (A) Are you getting the required supply from saras ?
Key finding and suggestion---Most of the consumers are satisfied with quantity served, so no more measures required to make changes. (B) Are you getting the milk timely?
Key finding and suggestion – Booths located in remote areas of Jaipur such as mandore and berry are not getting the milk timely, so we have to increase the number of vans to send the milk at desired places within given frame of time.
58 | P a g e
(C) Do you find saras booth is convenient to approach?
Key finding and suggestion ---23% people who are facing this problem will be definitely satisfied in near future with the proposed plan of department to launch 100 new booths in different parts of city. (D) Do you find milk of saras is fresh and hygienic against the exposed? Milk sold in the market by other sources?
Key finding and suggestion -- 69% is a per value of satisfaction, but people finding milk of chouta is fresh brings a negative frame of mind regarding cold milk. So, we have create a health communication regarding our products to erase the image of cold milk from mindsets of those consumers.
59 | P a g e
(E) Do you find saras booth is clean and well maintained?
Key finding and suggestion Proper clening and maintenance rules and regulations are required to the booth holders
60 | P a g e
Q NO (5) Quality of milk. (A)Do o find milk fresh?
Key finding and suggestion same as 4 d
Q NO (6) Home delivery services satisfaction. (A) Do you want home delivery service ?
Key finding and suggestion “Future of service industry is home delivery’’ So it is very crucial to activate home delivery system in our distribution pattern. After implementing the home delivery we can grab most of the share of dholwalw’s. (B) Are you satisfied with home delivery service?
61 | P a g e
Key finding and suggestion --Service vans and channel of distribution are not satisfactory, i.e. most of the people are unsatisfied and hence rescheduling of home delivery is required to installed.
(C) Can you submit advance money for home delivery service?
Key finding and suggestion --since satisfaction level of consumers towards home delivery service is not at par. So after increasing sound pattern of home delivery, it will automatically attract the advance payments.
62 | P a g e
Q NO (7) Do you find packing and labeling safe and attractive?
Key finding and suggestion --No more interventions are required in packing and labeling is required, became it is quite safe
(B) Do you find tastier?
Key finding and suggestion --Test is a matter of individual specific ness, so we really require here more interventions in product ingredients
63 | P a g e
(c)Do you find milk is concentrated and creamy?
{B} Market share of Saras in other dairy Products. (1)
GHEE
Key finding and suggestion-- since major competitors are leading due to low pricing e.g. Krishana and Amul. We have to reformulate the pricing strategy of ghee to gain the 64 | P a g e
overall market competitiveness, As low priced ghee is more preferable along with quality standards. Here others brands are doing well. i.e. exposed local and dalda etc. (2)
BUTTER
Key finding and suggestion --Butter product is the most speculative target for saras. Equipment Amul is having major share. Saras needs advertising exercise and should promote the sales of butter. Repositioning is required in saras butter to persuade the local consumers.
65 | P a g e
(3)
Paeer
Key finding and suggestion -- saras should not do an exercise in paneer, because it will be futile due consumer preferences in terms of fresness as they only like to buy fresh made paneer from local shops and wholesalers from rural areas. Saras should emphasize to meet the seasonal demands of paneer during marriage season.
66 | P a g e
(4)
Shrikhand
Key finding and suggestion --Shrikhand needs extra promotional efforts, Amul is famous due to Gujrat pricing also can be re-evaluted because Amul is charging 1Rs per 100gm (5)
Flavored milk
Key finding and suggestion --Amul is having bigger share due to all india exposure of broadcasting media, but still Saras can grab a healthy share with local media advertising.
67 | P a g e
(6)
Cold chhanch
Key finding and suggestion --local cold chhanch suppliers like janta and poker are selling it heavily during summers. So it is recommended to bring some promotional schemes and provide a healthy supply to local shops, where sales can be increased
(7)
Lassie
Key finding and suggestion --Consumers grievances such as concentration and the technical drawbacks of lassi of saras. So such grievances must be redressed promptly. Mostly consumers like to have lassi local vendors, so totally consumer preferences are unfavorable.
68 | P a g e
(8)
Curd
Key finding and suggestion --same as to lassi (8)
Ice-cream
Key finding and suggestion --ice cream is a diverse market as it having numbers players saras is having low share and ready for repositioning of whole range of ice creams on coming festival of raksha-bandan. Heavy promotional efforts are required to grab the sound position in the mark.

CONCLUSION The project marketing strategies of milk products with special reference to SARAS Dairy in Jaipur has been undertaken during the training period gave an opportunity to study the system in detail and have an insight into the organization marketing. The organization has a very well thought out organizational structure, streamlined procedure and well-motivated workforce. The objectives are very clear and unambiguous.

People have believed in SARAS’S product and they will accept The survey resulted into following conclusions: SARAS must come up with new promotional activities such that people become aware about Ice-cream, Quality is the dominating aspect which influences consumer to purchase SARAS product, but prompt availability of other brands and aggressive promotional activities by others influences the consumer towards them and also leads to increase sales.

RECOMMENDATIONS & SUGGESTIONS On careful observation of Saras Dairy during the training period I have the following suggestion for Saras Dairy, Jaipur which on proper implementation may provide a big boost to it. All information regarding Saras Dairy and its products should be available on internet. Increase in advertisement and publicity. Motivation program for booth and parlor owners. Marketing department should be well furnished and attractive. Jaipur Dairy should give milk products competitive prices and facilities. Glow sign boards should be provided to booth and parlor owners. New product should be launched like ice-cream. To popularize “Shrikhand” free sample may be distributed at some public place. Inspection and frequent check of booth and parlors. Good co-ordination between marketing department and booth, Parlor owner. New technology should be adopted from national and international Company Experts in the Field.
