ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
"The pleasure that follows the successful completion of a project would remain
incomplete without a word of gratitude for the people and without whose
cooperation the achievement would remain a distant dream. It is not a mere
formality to place a record of the tireless efforts, case less cooperation,
constant guidance, and encouragement of people closely associated with the
project but a distant necessity for the authenticity and readability of the
project."

milk and finally to know whether the the retailer in the market will keep the Amul milk
or not. This project will help to know the market condition of Amul milk(Amul gold

COMPANY PROFILE
AMUL (Anand Milk Union Limited), formed in 1946, is a dairy cooperative movement in India. It
is a brand name managed by an apex cooperative organization, Gujarat Co-operative Milk
Marketing Federation Lt. (GCMMF), which today is jointly owned by some 2.6 million milk
producers in Gujarat, India.
AMUL is based in Anand, Gujarat and has been a sterling example of a co-operative organization's
success in the long term. It is one of the best examples of co-operative achievement in the
developing world.
"Anyone who has seen ... the dairy cooperatives in the state of Gujarat, especially the highly
successful one known as AMUL, will naturally wonder what combination of influences and
incentives is needed to multiply such a model a thousand times over in developing regions
everywhere. The Amul Pattern has established itself as a uniquely appropriate model for rural
development. Amul has spurred the White Revolution of India, which has made India the largest
producer of milk and milk products in the world. It is also the world's biggest vegetarian cheese
brand.
Amul is the largest food brand in India and world's Largest Pouched Milk Brand with an annual
turnover of US $1050 million (2006-07). Currently Amul has 2.6 million producer members with
milk collection average of 10.16 million liters per day. Besides India, Amul has entered overseas
markets such as Mauritius, UAE, USA, Bangladesh, Australia, China, Singapore, Hong Kong and a
few South African countries. Its bid to enter Japanese market in 1994 had not succeeded, but now it
has fresh plans of flooding the Japanese markets. Other potential markets being considered include
Sri Lanka.
Dr Verghese Kurien, former chairman of the GCMMF, is recognized as the man behind the success
of Amul. On 10 Aug 2006 Parthi Bhatol, chairman of the Banas kantha Union, was elected
chairman of GCMMF.

• AMUL: THE ORIGIN
The mighty Ganges at its origin is but a tiny stream in the Gangotri ranges of the Himalayas. Similar
is the story of Amul which inspired Operation Flood and heralded the 'White Revolution' in India. It
began with two village cooperatives and 250 liters of milk per day, nothing but a trickle compared to
the flood it has become today. Today Amul collects processes and distributes over a million liters of
milk and milk products per day, during the peak, on behalf of more than a thousand village
cooperatives owned by half a million farmer members.
• PROFILE OF AMUL
AMUL means "priceless" in Sanskrit. The brand name "Amul," from the Sanskrit "Amoolya" was
suggested by a quality control expert in Anand. Variants, all meaning "priceless", are founding
several Indian languages. Amul products have been in use in millions of homes since 1946.Amul
Butter, Amul Milk Powder, Amul Ghee, Amul spray, Amul Cheese, Amul Chocolates, Amul
Shrikant, Amul Ice cream, Nuarimol, Amul Milk and Amulya have made Amul a leading food brand
in India. (Turnover: Rs. 52.55 billion in 2007-08). Today Amul is a symbol of many things. Of high-
quality products sold at reasonable prices.
. 50 years after it was first launched, Amul's sale figures have jumped from 1000 tons a year in 1966 to
over 25,000 tons a year in 1997. No other brand comes even close to it. All because a thumb- sized

other. The actual meaning of this symbol is co-ordination of four hands of different
people by whom this union is at the top position in Asia.

Objectives
• Research Methodology: Research methodology is a structured and scientific
approach used to collect, analyze, and interpret quantitative or qualitative data to
answer research questions or test hypotheses. A research methodology is like a plan
for carrying out research and helps keep researchers on track by limiting the scope of
the research. Types of Data:
1. Quantitative data: numerical values and measurements that are analysed through
statistical methods.
2. Qualitative data: words that are analysed through interpretations and
categorizations.
3. Ordinal data: data that is in order on a scale, such as ratings or rankings.
4. Nominal data: data that is used to label variables without a numerical value, such
as names or categories.
5. Discrete data: data that can only take certain values, such as counts or binary
outcomes.
6. Continuous data: data that can take any value within a range, such as heights or
weights.
In research methodology, data can be classified into two main types: primary data
and secondary data. These two types of data play distinct roles in the research
process.
1. Primary Data:
• Definition: Primary data refers to original data that is collected directly from the
source for the first time by the researcher.
• Collection Methods:
• Surveys: Conducting questionnaires, interviews, or focus group discussions to
gather information directly from respondents.
• Experiments: Performing controlled experiments to collect data for specific
research objectives.
• Observations: Directly observing and recording information about the
phenomenon under study.
• Field Trials: Conducting trials or tests in real-world settings to collect data on
the subject of study.
Advantages:
19
• Relevance: Data collected is specific to the research objectives.
• Control: Researchers have control over the data collection process. • Freshness:
Primary data is new and has not been previously analyzed.
Disadvantages:
• Cost: Collecting primary data can be time-consuming and expensive.
• Bias: Researchers' biases may influence the data collection process.
• Logistics: It may be challenging to gather primary data from certain populations
or in certain contexts.
2. Secondary Data:
• Definition: Secondary data refers to existing data that has been collected by
someone else for a different purpose but is utilized by the researcher for their
own analysis.
• Sources:
• Published Sources: Books, journals, articles, and reports.
• Government Publications: Census data, economic reports, and other
government publications.
• Educational Institutions: Data from academic research, theses, and
dissertations.
• Commercial Sources: Market research reports, industry analyses, and business
databases.
Advantages:
• Time and Cost Efficiency: Secondary data is readily available, saving time and
resources.
• Large Datasets: Access to extensive datasets that may not be feasible to collect
in primary research. • Historical Analysis: Allows for the study of trends and
changes over time.
Disadvantages:
• Relevance: The available data may not precisely meet the researcher's needs.
• Accuracy: Quality and accuracy of the data may be questionable.
• Lack of Control: Researchers have no control over the data collection process,
leading to potential issues of reliability.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
The aim of the marketing is to meet and satisfy the target consumer's need & wants.
The field of the consumer behavior studies how individuals, groups and
organization select buy, use and dispose of the goods, services, ideas or experiences
to satisfy their needs and desires. Understanding consumer behavior and knowing
customer is not simple customer may say one thing and do another thing. They may
not be in touch with their deeper motivations. Consumer behavior is very complex
and dynamic too constantly changing and therefore managements need to adjust
with the change otherwise market may be lost.
• Different models at buying behavior will help the organization to understand the
buying behavior of consumers. There are No. of items. But that basic aim behind
those consumption activities is to satisfy that needs & wants at the consumers. An
understanding of needs and processes that influence the consumer behavior. If
such need can help the marketer in his risk. There is No. of the different models
for understanding these. We will undertake these main four models.
• Economical model:
Consumer have certain amount of purchasing power, and a sets of needs and taste,
he will allocate his expenditure over different products at given prices rationally
so as to maximize utility.
Learning model:
22
This model refers to the consumer's formation and satisfaction of needs and tastes.
They postulate that living organisms have both innate needed (primary drives like
hunger, thrust, and sex) and learned needs (like fear, guilt).
Psychoanalytical model:
Sociological model:
Humans learn their behavior from their culture, subculture, social class reference
groups& group leaders.
Factor influencing the consumer behavior are internal needs, motives, perception
and attitude as well as external- family, social group, cultural, economic, business
influences, etc.
1. Economics Factors
1. Motive:
A buying motive is the reason why a person buys a particular product. It is the
driving force behind buying behavior and may be based on psychological or
23
psychological want marketers are in rested in patronage motives such as store
loyalty and brand loyalty.
2. Perception:
3. Learning:
3. Social Factors
1. Family:
Most consumers belong to a family group. The family can exert considerable
influence in shaping the pattern of consumption and indicating the decision making
role personal value attitude and buying habits have been shaped by family
influences. 2. Reference Group:
24
The small group to which the buyer belongs influence buyer behavior. A human
being is considered as a social animal spending much of his or her life in group
situation, group norms direct attention of its member to a new style of a product.
3. Social Class:
Culture, subculture & social class are primary important in buying behavior.
1. Culture: -
culture is the most fundamental determinant of a person's wants and behavior. The
growing child acquires a set of values, perceptions, preferences and behaviors
through his or her family and other key instructions.
2. Sub-culture:-
Let's see the customer buying process by which it satisfies its need and wants. There
is no. of stages are involved into the customer buying process. The steps involved
into the customer buying process can be explained as below.
25
2. PROBLEM REORGANIZATION
3. INFORMATION SEARCH
4. EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE
5. PURCHASE DECISION
The buying process starts with that problem reorganization or need. The need can
rise by internal or external stimuli. The interval stimuli involve general need of the
persons like hunger; thrust etc. and the person will be motivated to satisfy that need.
And the need that will be aroused by external stimuli.
The marketer should try identifying the circumstances that raise the need of the
customer. The marketer should collect the information from the different sources
and it can develop marketing strategies that increase the customer interests.
There is no. of sources for collecting information. Once the person will be are
used. He will try to collect more and more information different sources for
collecting the information are.
At this stage the consumer will evaluate the different alternatives available to him.
This is very difficult stage in the buying process.
How the buyer will take decision whether he should buy the products and services
or not. This is also important step of the buying process.
26
After purchasing the goods or services the persons will experience some degree of
satisfaction. If the person will be satisfied then he will use the same product next
time and if. He will not satisfy then he will not go for the same.
27
• PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE STAGES
A product passes through distinct stages during its life in market, each posing
different challenges, opportunities and problems. Profits rise and fall at different
stages of the product life cycle. There are four different stages of product life cycle,
namely
1. INTRODUCTION STAGE
2. GROWTH STAGE
3. MATURITY STAGE
4. DECLINE STAGE
Different products of AMUL are in different stages in the product life cycle. Products
like milk, butter, chocolate and cheese are in the maturity stage, while ice-creams ,
chocolates and Shri Khand are still in the growth stage. On the other hand, products
like milk powders, infant food, frozen food items and mix are in introduction stage.
The company adopts aggressive selling techniques for those products which are in the
introductory stage, while very less promotional programmers are carried out for those
products which are in the growth or maturity stage.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH:
Largest milk producer in the world A huge base of around 11 million farmers
Traditional emphasis on consumption
Amul has a strong growth as its turnover for previous year increased by almost 18%
and growth revenue by 67% making it the world thirteenth largest dairy organization
With Amul’s products being popular and being in the market for a while now, it has
developed its brand name and their customers are very loyal to the company.
The global mascot (Amul girl) used in their advertising is their icon throughout the
world.
a. Corporate Image.
25
WEAKNESS:
a. Supply is not regular.
d. Weak management support and less effective customer care‖ said some
retailers.
e. With too many international brands in competition with Amul, it now finds
difficult to control its cost of operations. And thus is facing huge
competition especially in international markets.
f. Amul introduced its chocolate a while back but it has not been able to gain
the acceptance that it was aiming for.
g. The shelf life for most dairy products is limited which makes the company
vulnerable to losses
h. Despite the distribution being strong, it is still not dispersed to rural areas.
Amul invests very low in terms of advertising.
OPPORTUNITIES:
a) With the liberalization new avenues of exploiting open market economy are being
open up.
b) Being the oldest co-operative society use their brand name as already being leader in
dairy products, the other competitors are very far behind AMUL.
c) New product from Amul i.e. Amul preferred outlet(APO) can be very successful in the
market as we receive better response from Distributors as well retailers and consumers
d) Must take the advantage of priority given to the Dairy industries by the Govt. in terms
of loan.
THREATS:
a) With the globalization and liberalization various global brands are started to peak in.
b) Competition from other Co-operative and local industries are present in the market.
c) The milk curdling problem allows the competitors to penetrate the market which is
previously covered by the Amul. The milk from Softe plant is responsible for that as
a retailer cannot bear huge loss. Some serious problem found is of the late delivery
of milk in area like R.K Puram. Sometime distributor’s attitude and rude behavior is
responsible for decrease in sales

2. Out of total respondents, that 51.35% respondents buy AMUL product through
3. From the analysis it is clear that the respondents purchasing from the local shop are

• SUGGESTION
1. It is clear that the respondents of AMUL are Quality conscious. So if it is possible AMUL
should concentrate on quality of its production.
2. By evaluating the survey it is clear that the respondents are mostly interested in the taste
provided by AMUL products. AMUL should concentrate on its product's taste more than any
other features.
3. It is specifies that the AMUL respondents are giving priority to the availability of AMUL
products by more than 2/3 part. So it becomes necessary for AMUL to supply the AMUL
products in all its target market.
4. According to my Study, Quality product should be produced and now a day's price is an
important factor for common man. So company should concentrate in these both
mentioned factors.
LIMITATION
1. Market Competition: Amul operates in a competitive market, and the emergence of new
competitors or changes in existing ones could affect its market share and profitability.
2. Fluctuating Milk Prices: Amul's business heavily relies on milk, and fluctuations in milk
prices can impact production costs and profit margins, making it challenging to maintain stable
pricing for their products.
3. Supply Chain Issues: Issues in the supply chain, such as disruptions in the procurement or
distribution process, can affect the timely availability of raw materials or finished products.
adverse developments in the dairy industry, like disease outbreaks affecting cattle or regulatory
changes, may pose risks to the company.
Consumers were interested for quality or customer-oriented product rather than having the
brand image. Ice-cream, Shri Khand, milk, Kool, lassi etc. Are consumed mostly because its
quality good and dairy product. Amul was the market leader and local ice-cream vendors
acquire the second position in terms market share. So try to increase the advertisement and lack
of availability in the rural area is the main weakness for the company. The brand awareness for
Amul new products were very less in Theobroma compared to Himmat Nagar taluka. It is
weakness for the company. In today time quality, price, availability is the major factors
considered for the customer while buying a particular brand.
