 INTRODUCTION

Milk occupies a number position in India’s diet. According to

nutrition advisory committee of Indian council of medical
research a balanced diet for an adult Indian should include ten
ounces of milk per day.
Most of milk produced in India is from rural areas, farmers had
a difficulty to take it in to the city.The small farmers face
number problems such as in adequate transport facility, non
availability of veteniery services, and absence of proper
system of processing and marketing of milk. The production of
the milk is done rural areas by small marginal farmers who
find it difficult to market but the profitable market is in urban
areas. The system of processing, preserving and marketing
the milk in villages seem to be a problem so in order to solve
this problem co-operative milk supply societies and milk
unions have been established.

Government of India launched a dairy program called “flood

program” called with National Dairy Development Board
(NDDB).the main aim of the program was to organize milk

1
producers co-operatives in several probable places of India
taking the kaira district (ANAND) co-operative milk producers
union is (AMUL)of Anand , Gujarat as the model with the
above object in the view. The diary societies in the Gujarat are
properly known as ‘white revolution”...NDDB has now India’s
1, 17,575 village dairy co-operatives federated in to 170 milk
union and 15 federations procured average 25millions liters of
milk every day.12.4million framers are presently members of
village dairy co-operatives. All the above mentioned
information leads to the conclusions that in the absence of
proper machinery to collect and supply milk, milk producers
existence in dangerous situation. This Lightened the path of
establishment of” MILMA.”

CONCLUSION

47
 CONCLUSION
The organizational study gave a greater learning experience
to me. the experience of doing one month long study gave me
opportunity to explore in to the areas of practicable knowledge
of management and nature of a company. This organizational
study also showed the important roles played by every single
functions of the management. It also leads me into some
thoughts about my behavior, attitude, body language, and in
efficiencies and I became more conscious about time
management.
Milma is the present milk marketing leader in Kerala. but in
this changing condition the marketing of milma products has
become more challenging as it now faces several competition
from private milk producers and local producers. This entire
problem can be met through professional managemen t
approach and target oriented training and proper planning. So
the company should give the attention in ensuring quality of
products and introduce more promotional activities to
overcome the competition.
