HISTORY
Today India is the worlds largest milk producer which overtook US in 1998 which
accounts for 17% of the global output. According to the research firm CLSA, milk is the
countrys biggest agricultural produce, contributing 22% to agricultural GDP. The annual
growth rate of milk production in India is 5% to 6%, against the world at 2%. This rapid
growth was largely credited to the contribution by dairy co-operatives, under the
Operation Flood (OF) Project, assisted by many multi- lateral agencies, including the
European Union, the World Bank, FAO and WFP (World Food Program).
National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) lays down the rules and regulations to be
followed by the various co-operative milk societies. AMUL (Anand Milk Union Limited)
was a pioneer in starting a co-operative milk producers society in 1946 in Gujarat and
thereafter many co-operative societies were started. In 1975 the World Bank gave a credit
of Rs.78 crores for starting another co-operative society. An overwhelming 85% of the
over Rs 2,00,000 crore dairy sector, which sustains about 80 million families across rural
India, falls under the unorganized sector. The rest includes private dairies, co-operative
societies and government dairies.

AN OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL STUDY
As an essential academic requirement of SBS Swiss Business School, we are required to
undertake an Internship/organizational study in a company. Accordingly I had done my
organizational study in Kolar-Chikkaballapura Co-operative Milk Union Societies limited,
from May 28
th
to July 23
rd
in Kolar.
This is a Milk union co-operative society which is completely different from other private
or public companies and other co-operative societies. As in other companies Shareholders
are the owners of the company but here the Milk producers are the owners of the
company. This company works as a 3-tier co-operative system.
1. Primary level
2. District level
3. State level
1. Primary level: This is an Independent and Autonomous co-operative system which
has its own bylaw under the rules and regulations of co-operative societies act. The
primary level starts from the villages, where the milk producers in the village will join
together and form a society called District co-operative society and collects all the
milk from the producers and sell it to the company at a specific price. Each village has
one society. They have all the rights and acts like the owners of the company. The
primary level will be headed by 9 members who are nominated and elected by the
DCS members.
