PREFACE
Summer Internship Programme is a part of MBA Programme, which is very
helpful in getting practical knowledge in this globalization world. Now-a-days only
theoretical knowledge is not enough to success in life but most important we
must have practical knowledge. With the help of this training, I came to know how
to apply theoretical knowledge in practice.
Main purpose of this training is to have awareness about industrial environment
and to know about different functions of an organization like Distribution,
Production and Marketing.
I got an opportunity in KAIRA DISTRICT CO-OPERATIVE MILK UNION
LIMITED, Anand, Gujarat to undergo Summer Internship Programme as a part of
MBA Programme. I consider myself privileged that I got a chance to work with
reputed company and can upgrade my knowledge related to practical aspect of
business world which is very helpful in my career building.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In today’s competitive world while entering in the market it is very
necessary to have good knowledge of the potential of a particular
market. The growth of a company is invariably determined not just
by its strategy, but on how it responds to the challenges it
encounters. Over the decades AMUL has successfully countered
several challenges that have come its way with innovative
responses and continuous improvement, which have enabled it to
remain stable and even convert some of these challenges into
opportunities. It is the culture of endurance that has accorded AMUL
the insight and focus to deal with the current economic
environment. Drawing from its inner strength and beliefs, AMUL
responded by launching several initiatives across all its operations
in various geographies that are helping the group achieve growth
even in current times. It is also this very strategic culture that will
propel AMUL to continue on its growth trajectory in years to come.
The report provides a comprehensive insight into the company and also about the
company’s SWOT analysis. This report mainly studies in detail the various product
mix strategies of the company and also focuses on the segmentation of both company
based and industry based and helps in analysing the company’s competitive
advantage and the reason behind its success.

INTRODUCTION TO THE INDIAN
DAIRY INDUSTRY
The world's biggest dairy producing country is growing fast and looking to become
an export powerhouse despite major quality problems...
A Note to our Readers: the following information on India's dairy sector is reproduced
from India Infoline.com. India is the world's largest milk producing country and is
growing fast, with an eye toward becoming a major dairy exporter. This article is helpful
reading for anyone interested better understanding.
Consumer Habits and Practices
Milk has been an integral part of Indian food for centuries. The per capita
availability of milk in India has grown from 172 gm per person per day in 1972 to 182gm
in 1992 and 203 gm in 1998-99.This is expected to increase to 212gms for 2008.
However a large part of the population cannot afford milk. At this per capita consumption
it is below the world average of 285 gm and even less than 220 gm recommended by the
Nutritional Advisory Committee of the Indian Council of Medical Research.
