DAIRY DEVELOPMENT
Before the year 1946 there were no milk unions /milk dairy in India. In the year 1946, first milk union was formed by a person Mr. Peschenji Edulgi Pollson in Gujarats Khaira district and the village was Anand. This was named as Anand Milk Union Ltd. i.e., AMUL. At the time, Pollson was purchasing Milk from villagers of Khaira and Maisa at cheaper rate and then sell the milk and its products in metropolitan cities Mumbai etc. at higher rates and earn more profit. 4th January 1946 was a turning point, where people of Khaira and Maisa district met Sardar Vallabhai Patel, as they were already awakened by the Polsons business. So they thought to start a cooperative society of farmers who were selling the Milk to Pollson. So, the first cooperative society was started at Rawrapura. The two primary cooperative societies were established under the leadership of Murarji Desai. When we were discussing about dairy development, it will be incomplete without knowing what about Dr. Varghese Kurien. Dr. Varghese Kurien is called as Father of White Revolution in India. He graduated in physics from Loyola College, Chennai and B.E. (Mech) from Madras University. He is credited with architecting operation flood the largest dairy development program in the world. The chairman of Khaira District Cooperative Milk Producers Union Ltd. formed Tribuvan Dairy Plant and this marked the rebirth of AMUL. The AMUL pattern of cooperative had been a great success. It encouraged Dr. Kurien to set up NDDB to replicate the AMUL pattern of cooperative across India. Once societies formed at village level, later district level milk unions established. It included all societies coming under that particular district. Once, societies and unions at district level were established, and then State Federations were established. Federation took care of all these unions and societies throughout the state.
During the 1950s and 1960s, India was one of the largest importers of dairy products, importing over 40 percent of milk solids in the total throughput of the dairy industry. The commercial import of milk powder reached its peak at about 53 thousand tons in 1963-64 (Kanitkar, 1999). This concerned policy makers, and a decision was made to achieve selfsufficiency in milk production. The major step forward, which has had a far-reaching impact, came in mid-sixties with the establishment of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) to oversee dairy development in the country. The Operation Flood (OF) program, one of the world's largest and most successful dairy development programs, was launched in 1970; its main thrust was to organize farmers' cooperatives in rural areas and link them with urban consumers. Operation Flood has led to the modernization of India's dairy sector and has created a strong network for procurement, processing, and distribution of milk by the cooperative sector. In 1989, the Government of India launched the Technology Mission on Dairy Development (TMDD) program to support and supplement the efforts of Operation Flood and to enhance rural employment opportunities and income generation through dairying. India is currently the largest producer of milk in the world, overwhelmingly thanks to the output of millions of smallholder farms. The OF (Operation Flood) cooperative movement has been important in dairy marketing in different parts of the country and undoubtedly has played an important role in keeping smallholders involved with this fast-growing sector. During the past three decades, milk production in the country has increased from about 22 million tons in 1970-71 to 84 million tons in 2001-02 (GOI, 2003). The per capita availability of milk, which had decreased during the pre-OF period, not only kept pace with the growing population but increased from 107 grams in 1970 to 220 grams in 2000-01. The Indian dairy industry is poised for dramatic growth in the coming decades. The population growth, urbanization, income growth, high income elasticity of demand, and changes in food habits that fueled the increase in milk consumption are expected to continue well into the new millennium, creating a veritable Livestock Revolution. As these events unfold, not all the changes are good, and they have major implications for poverty alleviation, environmental sustainability, public health, and ethical concerns about the treatment of animals as sentient beings. The rapid increase in demand for dairy products in developing countries has led to the growth of milk-production activities in semi-urban areas, which are

essentially detached from their supporting land base. The demand for milk and dairy products is increasingly being met in urban and semi-urban areas by industrial dairy farms, which often generate large amounts of waste. Traditionally, milk production in India has been closely integrated with crop production. However, environmental problems escalate with the scale and intensity of operations, ranging from the least worrisome in traditional systems to highly threatening in large-scale farms. The pollution problem in rural areas is internalized, as the small amount of manure produced is used as fuel or organic fertilizer to improve the soil for crop and fodder cultivation. In the commercial production system, a large amount of waste is generated, which needs to be treated before its disposal or use. Doing so requires not only careful planning but also large capital investments to create the infrastructure for waste treatment and its economic disposal. The establishment of large commercial dairy farms in urban areas may create some social problems. The growth stimulus coming from the strong demand for livestock products is not transmitted to the rural areas, where it could encourage rural development, more equitable distribution of income, and poverty alleviation. Small producers find it difficult to compete with large commercial units due to policy distortions. Milk production in rural areas generates supplementary income and employment opportunities, which are adversely affected by the growth of commercial dairy farms.
NDDB has 170 cooperative unions its members. NDDB has 15 state federations under its operations. NDDB operates in 285 districts. NDDB covers nearly 1, 01,000 villages under its operations. Total milk production of the industry was 21.2 million MT in 1968 and the production has considerably increased to 84.6 million MT in 2004-05 due to the efforts of NDDB.
MARKETING
The market for dairy cooperative has been encouraging. In 2001-02 average dairy cooperative milk marketing stood at 134.23 lakh liters and is expected to grow at 5% over the next five years. - During the last decade the milk supply to each 1000 urban customers has increased from 17.5 to 47.3 liters. This increase encourages the cooperative milk marketers. - The annual value of Indias milk production amount to Rs.850 billion.
COMPANY PROFILE
INTRODUCTION

constructed a 2 lac liters per day capacity dairy plant at Gokul-Shirgaon. Similarly, at Gadhinglaj and Bidri chilling centers of 75,000 and 50,000 liters / day capacity were also constructed with the help of NDDB. Two more Chilling centers at Gogave and at Tawarewadi have proposed under operation flood-III programme of National Dairy Development Board. The expansion of Cattle Feed Plant from 100 MTD to 200 MTD has been completed during Oct., 1992, under the financial assistance from National Dairy Development Board under OF-II programme. The dairy was commissioned towards the end of 1985. Meanwhile, with the efforts of the National Dairy Development Board, the government milk scheme in Kolhapur was handed over to the Kolhapur Dudh Sangh in 1985. With commissioning of a new dairy at Gokul Shirgaon, the government became defunct. During 1985, the average milk procurement was 114836 liters per day with 676 village level societies affiliated to the Dudh Sangh. Therefore, the raise in procurement every year has been very fast and in 1994-95 the average procurement was 376,501 liters per day. In the flush of 1994, maximum milk procurement touched figure of 4, 47,262 liters per day.

This structure represents a particular organisation destructive capability. It is however important that more than one such type function exists & described those specialized organizational units with proximity to power / superior competence when compared to competitive benchmarks. These vital forces plays a key role in decision making & need to be complementary in order to ensure that they serve as a check on another. The stronger & more competent they are, the mode difficult it is to achieve cross functional team work. The companys challenge is therefore to ensure that these functions are on par with that competition but they need to ensure that they respond to market demand by cutting across these functional compartments.

1. PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT 2. ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT 3. ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT 4. PROCURMENT & INPUT DEPARTMENT 5. STORES DEPARTMENT 6. SECURITY DEPARTMENT 7. PROCESSING DEPARTMENT
8. LABORATORY / QUALITY CONTROL DEPARTMENT
I) PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT
Production department is the main department wherein the raw material is converted into finished into products. At Gokul production department is well planned & adequately equipped manufacturing set up where the necessary infrastructure is available. The quality of the product is also dependant on the production procedure. In Gokul the raw milk is processed to form the good quality of milk. During the processing the milk is differentiated depending on the contract of FAT & SNF (Solids Not Fat).
The production procedure at Gokul is done under different stages. The stages are as follows:
1. COLLECTION OF MILK
In this stage the milk is bought from the various district co-operative societies (DSC) to the main dairy in a can of 40 litters capacity in tempos or in any other vehicles. The cans marked with two different colours to differentiate between the cow & the buffalo milk. One the milk is bought to the main dairy it undergoes into following process.
2. UNLOADING
The cans were unloaded is called as dock station. The cans are unloaded from the vans manually.
3. ORGANOLEPTIC TEST
This test is carried out by a person manually without using any machines but using his sense organs like nose & hence it is called as organoleptic test. This test is conducted before the cans are weighed. In this test various sub-tests are conducted like:
A man at dock station or platform checks the acidic nature of milk by smelling or tasting the raw milk. If the tasted milk has bad odors then the dairy will pay lower rate to such society members than the normal rate.
EXTRANEOUS-MATTER APPERANCES:In this test the raw milk is undergone into the test, which is conducted by the chemist. The chemist checks for two aspects mainly whether the milk is contaminated or not & the milk is in liquid form or curd form. He also checks for any extraneous matters like dust, flies etc. which lead to spoilage of milk.
AICDIC TEST
As regarding the payment to the suppliers or DSC depends mainly on FAT & SNF content in the raw milk. The supplier may add sugar to the milk so as to increase the FAT & SNF content. Hence to avoid this adulteration sugar test is done. Its procedure is 10ml of milk is shaken in a test tube & 1ml of hydrochloric acid. Few crystals of resorcinol is mixed to it. The solution is shaken well & heated for five minutes. If solution turns organ color it is demanded that sugar is mixed to it.
5. PESTEURIZATION
This step of production includes heating every particle of milk at 72 degree Celsius in 15 seconds and it cold in less then 4 degree Celsius. When it is passing through pasteurization the cream is removed depending on the quality of the milk required (Standardization).
6. PACKING
Once the pasteurization closed is conducted the next step is to pack the milk. The packing is done by the machine of fluid goods and were as it is done manually in case of solid goods like Ghee, Shrikhand and Butter. The machine packs the raw milk in two sizes that are 500ml and 1000ml pouches. These machines are automatic with a capacity of packing 10000 to 14000 pouches per hour. The speed can be even altered according to suitability. These machines are used to pack all different types of milk in plastic bags. These plastics are polythene bags required for packing milk.
7. STORAGE
The last but not the process is the whole of production process is storage. The milk packed in 500ml and 1000ml pouches are arranged in the crates. Each cater contain 10 litters of milk. This caters are stored in cold room which has a temperature of about 5 degree Celsius or below. Functions: Production Planning: The activities like estimating, routing, scheduling, loading, and dispatching etc. a) Estimating: Here they decide the quantity of products to be produced and cost involved on the basis of sales forecast. b) Routing: Here they determine the sequence of operation to be performed in the production process. They decide about what work to be done, where, and how? c) Scheduling: They perform the activities of starting and finishing of work. It is just like a time table for production of yarn. d) Loading: 1) Machinery problem solution: This department also sees problem of machines, any defect in machineries, stoppage problem of machinery etc. 2) Labour requirement for each shift: They also decide how much labour force is required for each shift.
