PREFACE

This project is prepared for when I take industrial visit at “EXCEL CROP CARE

LIMITED “, Bhavnagar.

It is a very well known proverb that “The practice makes a man perfect.” As

per this proverb we can say that one can only become perfect by practicing. He

or she need to have enough knowledge of practical implementation in the

current scenario of the theoretical knowledge.

As a student of management I have studied many theories in classroom but after

taking Industrial visit, I have experienced and understood it in it fullest sense which

plays a vital role in business field.

Hence, this report is been designed with the objective to gain practical exposure

and to know the motivational analysis of organizational climate.

During the industrial visit I met various functionaries of organization and

interacted with them. I sincerely thank them all whose cooperation and

guidance enriched my knowledge and this report was made possible

HISTORY

In 1932, C.C. Shroff, a young and brilliant science graduate, turned

down a scholarship to England. He was already bound f or another country: a

country as yet unborn, one which existed only in the hearts and mind of the men at

the helm of India s freedom movement.

Independence is not a concept confined to the realms of politics. Shroff

knew, that if India was to be at all self-reliant, she would have to manufacture her

own basic products and chemicals with her own know-how. And to that end he

worked with all his strength, faith and genius, he chose chemistry as his vehicle for

this. First he charted his own course of education, apprenticing himself to some of

the more advance chemical enterprises of the time. His research laboratory was

the kitchen at home, where he learnt to manufacture small useful things like

margarine and face cream. Slowly he was gaining the knowledge and confidence to

start off on his own.

In 1941, while our leaders were tr ying to get the British out of India, C.C.

Shroff was clearing out a buffalo shed in Jogeshwari, Bombay. When he nailed up a

sign that said, “Excel Crop Care”, he was making his declaration of

independence- independence from foreign technology and knowhow.

From the beginning, Excel Crop Care manufactured hazardous chemicals that

had

previously been imported. Chemicals that very few companies, even

abroad, knew how to manufacture. C.C. Shroff worked out his own technologies,

which were cheaper, simpler and as efficient as any, world-wide. A few months

after he had set up shop, C.C. Shroff received a frantic call from Stanvac, a large

petroleum refiner y. An essential chemical could not be imported because of the

was. Could he do something? C.C. Shroff thought for a while, then said he could.

He set to work at once; researching, experimenting, streamlining

processes,

working day and night. Just four days later, he dispatched the order. It

was as good as the imported chemical and Stanvac was so pleased, it offered

to pay a price much higher than normal. C.C. Shroff refused. His costs did not

justify the higher price, and he would not take a paisa more than what he felt was

due.

This is a pattern that has repeated itself through Excel s history: quick

response to a customer s needs, with excellent products at a fair price. To

overcharge customers or to give them shoddy goods – even in times of shortage –

would be to compromise the integrity of the company.
