Introduction
This chapter shows what other scholars have written about dairy industry. Attempts have
been made to review briefly the specific and relevant literature, which has direct or
indirect bearing on the objectives of the present study. Accordingly, relevant literature has
been reviewed and presented as follows.
Review of literature is concerned with the study of previous research work in the field of
chosen research problem and other problems related to Dairy Cooperatives. This is one of
the most important component in the research process, which identifies research gaps as
well as the appropriate research process to be adopted. In order to get acquaintance with
the research process, to identify the research gaps in the chosen research problem and
earlier research studies associated with Dairy Cooperatives, books, Ph. D theses,
published research articles and research papers of conferences were reviewed.
The aim of this chapter is to review the literature on Dairy Cooperatives with focus on
ICT Services. The main focus was to identify the literature which is related to the Dairy
Cooperatives and its management. Researcher has collected secondary data from reputed
Journals, annual reports of Dairy Cooperatives, Magazines, Newspapers and websites and
archives of Dairy Cooperatives. The researcher has undertaken visits to libraries in Pune,
Kolhapur and Anand (Gujrat). The area of research study is broadly linked with two major
areas viz. work culture in Dairy cooperatives and Effective use of ICT services in Dairy
Cooperatives. The researcher has therefore reviewed the literature focusing on these two
areas.
In India ice cream industry is mostly regional and there is a multitude of brands focusing
on only one or two districts or in some case only one state. There are very few national
brands and the major reason behind slow growth of the smaller players is the high
perishability of ice cream products.
Indian ice cream industry is one of the fastest growing segments of the dairy or food
processing industry. Currently Ice cream market in India is estimated to be over INR
7
4,000 crores, and is growing at a rate of 15-20% year-on-year. It is projected that by 2019,
the market will reach around INR 6,198 crores. India has a low per capita ice cream
consumption of ice cream at 400 ml as compared with per capita consumption of ice
cream of 22,000 ml in the United States and 3,000 ml in China. With the improving cold
chain infrastructure in the country coupled with increasing disposable income and the
changing lifestyle, the sector has great potential for growth.
In India the ice cream industry is mostly regional and there is a multitude of brands
focusing on only one or two districts or in some case only one state. There are very few
national brands and the major reason behind slow growth of the smaller players is the high
perishability of ice cream products.
Ice-cream is typically regarded as a seasonal product, with demand peaking during the
summer months. Winter witnesses a sharp decline in consumption and resultant dip in
sales and profits. However, with the marketplace teeming with a host of innovative frozen
variants, which consumers are enjoying even in the cold months, there is a surge in winter
sales. The branded market has a host of homegrown and international players, namely,
Amul, Kwality Walls, Mother Dairy, Vadilal, Cream Bell, Baskin-Robbins, etc, amongst
the the prominent ones. Whilst Häagen-Dazs, Baskin-Robbins, London Dairy, New
Zealand Naturals, and Hokey Pokey cater to the high-end market, the likes of Amul,
Vadilal, Cream Bell and Mother Dairy are available at wide-ranging price points. Lately,
the imported concepts such as frozen yogurt and gelatos are gaining popularity. The more
recognisable Fro-Yo brands are Cocoberry, Red Mango, and Yogurberry, while Amore,
Gelato Vinto and Gelato Italiano are popular gelato brands, and primarily belong to the
super premium to premium segments. However, per capita consumption of ice-cream in
India is quite low. R S Sodhi, Managing Director, GCMMF (Amul), informs, “We are still
at the level of 400 ml of per capita consumption of ice-cream per year compared to the
global average of 2,300 ml. Unlike the West, Indians enjoy a range of other sweet options
such as the traditional mithai, but the icecream is slowly increasing its share of the Indian
palate.”

Subhashis Basu, Business Head–Dairy Products, Mother Dairy Fruit & Vegetable, says,
“Internationally, ice-cream is treated as a habitual intake. In India, the category is more
aspirational, impulsive and treated as a relief in the scorching summer months, so it offers
immense business potential that is yet to be tapped.”
Evolved markets are on a different footing. Frozen desserts category is still a long way
from becoming a part of diet/food plan of locals. The scenario is gradually changing
wherein other than tier 1, 2 and 3 markets are also moving up the consumption ladder,”
observes Nitin Arora, CEO of Cream Bell.
Ice-cream is one of the fastest growing food categories in India. Notably, the business is
seasonal in nature with April to June being the peak season and November to January the
lean months. Sales slacken during the monsoons also.
In recent years, consumption of ice-cream and other frozen novelties in winters has been
on the rise. A mix of factors is responsible for lessening the seasonal impact and
contributing to the overall growth of the country’s ice-cream industry such as changing
consumer perception, capturing regional variations, diverse consumer segments,
favourable retail location, product range and innovation, festivities, and marketing and
promotions.
Currently growing at 12-15 percent annually, the future prospects of India’s ice-cream
market seem promising for manufacturers, suppliers and retailers. A number of regional
players have also started expanding. The entry of new players will further intensify the
struggle to get a bigger market share

Review of Literature

Review of Literature
Rajeev Ranjan, Rahul Bangabash (2015). This required paying close attention to the
customer needs and quality. Mother Dairy realized that it was not enough that Mother
Dairy itself was wedded to these ideas; the entire supply chain had to conform. Hence it
launched a “Total Quality Management” or TQM to ensure the high quality of the
products from the starting point (the village farmer who supplied milk) right through the
value chain until it reached the consumer. This meant the need for the involvement of
farmers, transporters, factory personnel, wholesalers and retailers, each of whom had a
role to play.
Jaana Auramo, Kari Tanskanen and Johanna Smaros (2010). This paper illustrate how
new service concepts in which product suppliers get more involved in their customers’
operations enable suppliers to arrange their own supply chains more efficiently, while
simultaneously providing better service to the customer.
11
Integrating Information Technology and Operational Research.
Martin Butler, Pat Herlihy, Peter B Keenan (2010). This paper discusses how a
Geographic Information System (GIS) based DSS allows a scheduler interact with
optimisation algorithms to plan milk collection routes. The paper goes on to discuss how
such a DSS can be integrated with automatic data capture devices and database
management systems to provide effective management of milk collection operations.
AK Chauhan, KK Kalra, Raj Vir Singh and BB Raina (2006). It has been observed that
all the products, except the double-toned milk are being produced above the recommended
breakeven level. A comparison of unit manufacturing cost with unit price received by the
plant for different products has revealed that ice- cream manufacturing has been the most
profitable proposition among different dairy products, and standardized milk has provided
the maximum profit margin among the milk pouches manufactured during the study
period, 2000-01.
Dr Ruchira Prasad and Dr Rupali Satsangi (2013). Looking back at the path traversed
by AMUL, the features make it a pattern and model for emulation elsewhere are:
Producing an appropriate blend of the policy makers, farmers board of management and
the professionals, bringing the best of the technology to rural producers, providing a
support system to the milk producers without their agro- economic system and plugging
back the profits, by prudent use of men, material and machines.
S Ayyappa Naik Nenavath (2013). In order to satisfy the needs of all customers to get the
products timely, additional arrangements have to be made by the Sangam dairy such as
keeping the outlets open for additional time.

Research Methodolgy
The research includes the personal meeting with the consumers. For this I prepared the
questionnaire to know the opinion of the consumers as well as the retailers to know about
the Amul, Mother Dairy and Kwality Wall’s. I collected the primary data with the help of
the questionnaire.
Data Type
The data is primary data collected with the help of personal interview to know about the
consumer preference of Amul, Mother Dairy and Kwality Wall’s with special reference to
its packaging, price and taste.
Research instrument
The separate questionnaire was prepared for the consumers and the retailers so that we can
know the consumer preference as if they like Amul, Mother Dairy or Kwality Wall’s
regarding to its packaging, price and taste.
Types of Questions
14
Phrasing of Questions
The following factors were taken into consideration while preparing the questionnaire.
Language
The first question I raised from myself was that which language the respondent is going to
understand well. Then I decided to prepare the questionnaire in English and decided to
select the consumers who understand English and Hindi both.
Ease
I made my questionnaire as short as possible as it may be easy for everyone to give their
little time for the questionnaire prepared by me. Only necessary questions were asked
useless questions were avoided.
After the introduction part, the main questions of the questionnaire were asked.
Firstly multi-choice questions were asked just after that the one word questions were
asked.

Profile of the
Organisation
18
Proving the validity of the above-mentioned quote is a company that changed the entire
milk procurement process and spurred the White Revolution in India.
A company that was founded by a few farmers with a mission to stop the exploitation by
middlemen, gradually became the biggest brand in the nation. A brand that not only
changed the lives of many poor farmers but also took our nation to new heights. Let’s
analyse the story of a brand that grew from being an infinitesimal firm to a huge brand –
‘Amul –The Taste of India.’
It all started 65 years ago when poor farmers who worked hard, day in and day out were
exploited by the local traders and given small incentives. Angered by unfair and
manipulative practices followed by local traders, the farmers under the leadership of
Tribhuvandas Patel approached Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to resolve their grievances.
19
Few Facts About Anand Milk Union Limited i.e. AMUL
Amul was founded in 1946 in Anand, Gujarat with a mission to stop the
exploitation of the farmers by middlemen.
Amul is managed by the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd.
(GCMMF), which is jointly owned by more than 3.6 million milk producers of
Gujarat.
Amul spurred the White Revolution in India, which placed India at the top of milk
producing nations.
The Amul corporative was created by Dr Verghese Kurien, who is also known as
the Father of the White Revolution in India.
More than 15 million milk producers pour milk in 144500 dairy cooperative
societies across the country.
Amul is present in over 50 countries, and in India alone has more than 7200
exclusive parlours.
In 1999, Amul was awarded the “Best of All” Rajiv Gandhi National
Quality Award“ for maintaining the utmost level of quality in its plants.
Amul has been awarded the Guinness World Record for the longest running
advertisement campaign.
History
20
organise the farmers. In 1946, the milk farmers of the area went on a strike which led to
the setting up of the cooperative to collect and process milk. Milk collection was
decentralized, as most producers were marginal farmers who could deliver, at most, 1–2
litres of milk per day. Cooperatives were formed for each village, too. By June 1948, the
KDCMPUL had started pasteurizing milk for the 'Bombay Milk Scheme'. Under the
selfless leadership of Tribhuvandas Patel, in 1973, Amul celebrated its 25th
Anniversary with Morarji Desai, Maniben Patel and Verghese Kurien.
The cooperative was further developed and managed by Dr. Verghese Kurien with H.M.
Dalaya. Dalaya's innovation of making skim milk powder from buffalo milk (for the first
time in the world) and a little later, with Kurien's help, making it on a commercial
scale, led to the first modern dairy of the cooperative at Anand, which would compete
against established players in the market. Kurien's brother-in-law K.M. Philip sensitized
Kurien to the needs of attending to the finer points of marketing, including the creation
and popularization of a brand.
The trio's (T. K. Patel, Kurien and Dalaya's) success at the cooperative's dairy soon spread
to Anand's neighbourhood in Gujarat. Within a short span, five unions in other districts –
Mehsana, Banaskantha, Baroda, Sabarkantha and Surat – were set up, following the
approach sometimes described as the Anand pattern.
In 1970, initiated White Revolution of India, as it help create, Gujarat Co-operative Milk
Marketing Federation Ltd., which now overlooks Amul, in 1973, and today, it is the
second best dairy in India.[11] To combine forces and expand the market while saving on
advertising and avoid competing against each other, the GCMMF, an apex marketing
body of these district cooperatives, was set up in 1973. The Kaira Union, which had the
brand name Amul with it since 1955, transferred it to GCMMF.
In 1999, it was awarded the "Best of all" Rajiv Gandhi National Quality Award.
The GCMMF is the largest food products marketing organisation of India. It is the apex
organisation of the dairy cooperatives of Gujarat. It is the exclusive marketing
organisation for products under the brand name of Amul and Sagar. Over the last five and
21
a half decades, dairy cooperatives in Gujarat have created an economic network that links
more than 3.1 million village milk products with millions of consumers in India. Gujarat
Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd.
On September 30, 2018, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Amul's chocolate
plant in Mogar, Anand near their headquarters
2. Innovation
Amul has constantly been innovating – be it launching new products, creative marketing
campaigns or challenging traditional societal trends to come up with better ones.
In the 1960’s, Amul became the first brand in the world to make skimmed milk powder
from buffalo milk. Also with its three-tiered cooperative structure, Amul changed from
traditional operations to a more cost-efficient and effective structure.
For its continuous innovation, the brand won the “CNN-IBN Innovating for Better
Tomorrow Award” and “World Dairy Innovation Award” in the year 2014.
22
3. Strong Brand
Amul follows the Branded House Architecture way, wherein whatever they promote; they
promote it under one common brand name – Amul. The prime focus is on promoting the
parent brand rather than individual products which helps them gain more brand visibility
and results in lesser marketing and advertising costs.
The Amul model has helped India become the largest milk producer in the world.
With its diversified product portfolio, Amul has been able to cater to the needs of all the
segments. From kids to teenagers, men to women, calorie conscious to health conscious,
the company has ensured that it launches products for every segment. Providing value and
benefits to its target segment, Amul has been able to build a strong brand association with
its customers over the years.

Conclusion
This Polish proverb that rightly says, ‘If the farmer is poor then so is the whole
country.’ It was Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Tribhuvandas Patel and Dr Verghese Kurien
who must’ve understood what this quote meant and took certain measures to stop the
exploitation of the farmers.
It was their sheer determination and hard work that ensured a self-sustaining state for the
farmers.
Today, the brand has enabled farmers to be entrepreneurs and earn their own living. The
whole process is transparent has ensured that there is no exploitation.
They were in general illiterate. But they could see that the system under which contractors
could buy their produce at a low price and arrange to sell it at huge profits was just not
24
fair. This became more noticeable when the Government of Bombay started the Bombay
Milk Scheme in 1945. Milk had to be transported 427 kilometers, from Anand to Bombay.
This could be done only if milk was pasteurized in Anand.
After preliminary trials, the Government of Bombay entered into an agreement with
Polsons Limited to supply milk from Anand to Bombay on a regular basis. The
arrangement was highly satisfactory to all concerned – except the farmers. The
Government found it profitable; Polsons kept a good margin. Milk contractors took the
biggest cut. No one had taken the trouble to fix the price of milk to be paid to the
producers. Thus under the Bombay Milk Scheme the farmers of Kaira District were no
better off ever before. They were still at the mercy of milk contractors. They had to sell
their milk at a price the contractors fixed. The discontent of the farmers grew. They went
in deputation to Sardar Patel, who had advocated farmers’ co-operatives as early as 1942
Sardar Patel reiterated his advice that they should market their milk through a co-operative
society of their own. This co-operative should have its own pasteurization plant. His
advice was that the farmers should demand permission to set up such a co-operative. If
their demand was rejected, they should refuse to sell their milk to middlemen.
Sardar then sent his trusted deputy, Mr. Morarjibhai Desai, to Kaira District to organize
milk co-operative – and a milk strike if necessary. Mr. Desai held a meeting in Samarkha
village on January 4, 1946. It was resolved that milk producers’ co-operative societies
should be organized in each village of Kaira District to collect milk from their member-
farmers. All the milk societies would federate into a Union which would own milk
processing facilities. The Government should undertake to buy milk from the Union. If
25
this wasn’t done, the farmers would refuse to sell milk to any milk contractor in Kaira
Distric
The Government turned down the demand. The farmers called a ‘milk strike’. It lasted 15
days. Not a drop of milk was sold to the milk merchants. No milk reached Bombay from
Anand, and the Bombay Milk Scheme almost collapsed. After 15 days the milk
commissioner of Bombay, an Englishman, and his deputy visited Anand, assessed the
situation and accepted the farmers’ demand.
This marked the beginning of the Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers’ Union
Limited, Anand. It was formally registered on December 14, 1946. Its objective was to
provide proper marketing facilities for the milk producers of the district. The Union began
pasteurizing milk in June 1948, for the Bombay Milk Scheme – just a handful of farmers
in two village co-operative societies producing about 250 liters a day.
An assured market proved a great incentive to the milk producers in the district. By the
end of 1948, 432 farmers had joined village societies, and the quantity of milk handled by
the Union had increased to 5000 liters a day. In the early stages, rapid growth brought in
its wake serious problems. Their solution provided the stimulus for further growth. For
example, as the co-operative movement spread in the district, it was found that the
Bombay Milk Scheme could not absorb the extra milk collected by the Union in winter,
when buffaloes yielded an average of 2.5 times their summer yield. Thus by 1953, the
farmer-members had no regular market for the extra milk produced in winter. They were
again forced to sell a large surplus at low rate to middlemen

Kwality Walls is the company of Hindustan Unilever, the arm of Unilever in India. It is
an amalgamated brand name created out of two previously separate independent
companies that Unilever took over: Kwality of India and Wall's of Great Britain. Kwality
Wall's frozen desserts do not contain milk products, but vegetable fat/oil, and hence
cannot be termed as "ice-cream".
History
Kwality, the original Indian company, was founded in 1956, and was the first in the region
to import machinery for the mass production and sale of ice cream on a commercial scale.
In 1995, in view of the growth potential of the frozen confections market, Kwality entered
35
into an agreement with Lever, and has since been known by its current umbrella name. At
the same time, other brands acquired by Hindustan Unilever, such as Gaylord-Milkfood,
were phased out in favour of promoting the Kwality Wall's brand. This arrangement
allows for local production and sale of Wall's products that are popular in its home
market, such as the Cornetto cone, and to create local variations on others, such as the
Feast Jaljeera Blast. Kwality Wall's was ranked 464th among India's most trusted brands
according to the Brand Trust Report 2012, a study conducted by Trust Research Advisory.
In the Brand Trust Report 2013, Kwality Wall's was ranked 632nd among India's most
trusted brands and subsequently, according to the Brand Trust Report 2014, Kwality
Wall's was ranked 382nd among India's most trusted brands.
In August 2013, Kwality Wall's extended to Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei and Nepal.

Method and technique of Data Analysis
An interview is a conversation where questions are asked and answers are given. In
common parlance, the word "interview" refers to a one-on-one conversation between
an interviewer and an interviewee. The interviewer asks questions to which the
interviewee responds, usually so information may be transferred from interviewee to
interviewer (and any other audience of the interview). Sometimes, information can be
transferred in both directions. Communication, unlike a speech, which produces a one-
way flow of information.

Conclusion
59
Conclusion:
Prior to and during the research, the researcher has done a vast survey of literature on
Dairy Cooperatives which included books, research journals, research papers, Ph.D.
theses, magazines, newspapers, Govt. Publications, Dairy Cooperatives’ reports and
publications, etc. This comprehensive literature survey showed that there is dearth of
research as far as ICT implementation in the Dairy Cooperative sector in concerned.
The researcher found that most of the research work done on dairy cooperatives was
mainly focussed on the following areas:
There was hardly any study which spoke of computerization of dairy cooperatives. There
was practically no study found which talked about ICT or ERP implementation in Dairy
Cooperatives. Thus, there was a clear-cut gap and dearth of scientific research in the area
of ICT implementation in Dairy Cooperatives. The researcher found that the research
conducted so far in the Dairy Cooperative sector was grossly insufficient for the
modernization and computerization of Dairies. Moreover, there was no authentic research
to guide the stakeholders and motivate them towards ICT Implementation. The researcher
found the need to study this subject for the larger interest of the stakeholders of Dairy
cooperatives viz. Management and employees of Dairy cooperatives, Farmers associated
60
with the dairy cooperatives, Consumers of milk products and Companies providing ICT
implementation in general and for the fulfilment of his Ph.D. project in particular.
After all the study we found that Amul Ice creams are leading in all the fields. Both
retailers and consumers prefer the Amul Ice creams
