.1) INTRODUCTION OF FERTILISER INDUSTRY
The fertilizer industry in India consists of three major players; The Government owned Public Sector
undertakings, Cooperative Societies like IFFCO, KRIBHCO and units from Private sector. There are about 33 major producers producing N and NP/NPK fertilizers in the country at present. The fertilizer industry of India had made constructive use of the fertilizer provided by the Government of India to ensure that the country achieved reasonable self-sufficiency in food grain production. The fertilizer industry has organized itself through Fertiliser Association of India (FAI) to coordinate with the Government of India to achieve the macro-economic objectives related to agricultural sector and to provide other services .

1.2) ABOUT IFFCO
The Indian Farmers Fertiliser Co-operative Limited (IFFCO) is one of the largest producers of fertilizer in India. Due to large imports of fertilizer by the country before and after independence, need was felt to make India self reliant in the fertilizer industry. IFFCO, the government of India extended a share of 51% of the authorized share capital. Some loan was taken from the financial institution. The remaining capital was raised through village level co-operative societies. Each cooperative society has a minimum of 2 farmers, each farmer having a minimum of 1 share of Rs.1000 each. At the initial stage, IFFCO managed to approximate 30,598 such co-operative societies. IFFCO was registered on 3rd the Bombay Co-operative Act. Narsinhbhai Patel College of Computer Studies & Management, Kadi. November 1967 under

Phulpur plant has capacity of 2,97,000 tones of ammonia and 4,95,000 tones urea per year. The Aonla plant, fourth in the series, started commercial production in July 1988. The plant based on natural gas has capacity to produce 4,95,500 tones of ammonia and 7,20,000 tones urea per year. IFFCO is one of the largest fertilizer manufacturing cooperative in Asia.

1.4) IFFCO-INDIAN FARMERS SUCCESS STORY

During mid-sixties, the co-operative sector in India was responsible for distribution of 70% of fertilizer consumed in the country. This sector had adequate infrastructure to distribute fertilizer but had no production facilities of its own and hence dependent on public/private sector for supplies. IFFCO was created on November-3-1967 as a multiunit co-operative society engaged in production and distribution of fertilizer. In 1993 IFFCO had drawn up a major expansion programmed of all the four plants under over all against of IFFCO VISSION 2000. IFFCOS annual capacity has been increased to 3.69 million tunes of Urea and NPK / DAP Narsinhbhai Patel College of Computer Studies & Management, Kadi.
IFFCO
equivalent to 825 thousand tunes of Phosphates. The distribution of IFFCOS fertilizer is undertaken through over 35000 cooperative societies. The entire activities of distribution, sales, promotion are coordinated by Marketing, Central office (MKCO) at New Delhi assisted by the marketing offices in the field. In addition, essential agro inputs for crop production are made available to the farmers through a chain of 167 Farmers Service Center (FSC). IFFCO obsessively nurtures its relations with farmers and undertakes a large number of agricultural extension activities for their benefit every year. IFFCO, today is a leading player in Indias fertilizer industry and is marketing substantial contribution to the efforts of Indian Government to increase food grain production in the country.

2.1) INTRODUCTION OF PERSONNEL MNGT

Human resource or manpower is most valuable things of any organization. We can define if as a lifeblood of any organization functioning. We can utilize it properly or at maximum possible extent to achieve organizational as well as individual goals. Human resource or manpower is assets of any organization. Manpower management or personnel management is related with the function of recruitment, selection, promotion, demotion, transfer policy, wages and salary administration, collective bargaining, union benefits and other activities. In the opinion of Dun and Stephens, the personnel
management is the process of attracting, holding and motivating people involving all managers- line staff. According to Edward Flippo, personnel management is the planning, organizing, and controlling of the procurement, and development, compensation, integration, maintenance
separation of the human resources to the end that individuals, organizational and societal objectives are accomplished.

33
IFFCO
It is done on yearly bases. In March & April of every year they make performance appraisal. It is divided in two categories. 1) H1 & above officers: They do their appraisal system. 2) H2 & below workers: They do not have selfappraisal system.
H1 & above:
In this system they have been given questionnaires, which they have to fill up, by themselves. For every question there are five options: Outstanding: Extra work other than Very Good: They do their work
normal job done by Employee. timely, perfectly or before time. Good: They take help of some body Fair: They just do their own work. Poor: They do not work at all. for initiate then do their work. No extra work done by them.
34
IFFCO
The system is like this First reviewing officer check the form that is superior or boss of the employee. Second reviewing officer check the form. Then department. Final appraisal is done by head officer i.e. Delhi. it comes to personnel and administration
H2 & below:
Their superior or supervisor they have been given questionnaires dose appraisal.
For every question there are five options: Outstanding: Extra work other than normal job done by Employee. Very Good: They do their work timely, perfectly or before time. Good: They take help of some body for initiate then do their work. Narsinhbhai Patel College of Computer Studies & Management, Kadi.
35
IFFCO
Fair: They just do their own work. No extra work done by them. Poor: They do not work at all. The system is like this Appraising officers firstly dose it. Then first reviewing officers do it. After the second reviewing officer do it. Finally P & A department do appraisal. On the basis of this system the head office decides that whom to promote and whom to suspend of what action have to be taken. IFFCO do not have feedback system. They never discuss about performance of employees. So the employees do not come to know where they are lacking. In case of workers they are given instruction everyday. But in such a huge staff it is difficult to call each and every employee and give them individual feedback. On the result of the system they decide the training needs of employee. They also decide on the basis of the performance that who are eligible for promotion, transfer and demotion. So from all this above we can come to know that how is their performance appraisal.

3.5) PRICING POLICY
The prices of various grades of fetilisers in India are covered under the administer pricing mechanism i.e. the prices are regulated by the government. The work of administering the price fund account and determining the retention price from time to time has been entrusted to the Fertiliser Industry Coordination Committee (FICC), an office attached to the Department of Fertilizers, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilisers. Of late there has been a small change in this policy by which some of the fertilizers (including NPK grade 1, 2 and DAP) has been decontrolled and brought out an administered price mechanism. Pricing of decontrolled fertilizers manufactured by the society and not to the sale of other products like Malathion, Dry ice, sale of ammonia to outside parties, etc. Imported fertilizers are also outside the scope of pricing system.
3.6) GOVERNMENT POLICY TOWARD FERTILIZERS

level, unrelated to cost of production also. The fact that the price fixed for a particular unit is related to prescribed efficiency norms in respect of capacity utilization (in ammonia plant for instance, 90% norms was assumed) and consumption of raw materials and utilities, ensured that the unit will be able to earn return allowed under the system (12% post tax on net worth) only if it achieved the prescribed standards of efficiency. In short, the fundamentals of the RPS were so designed as to contribute to a growing and efficient fertiliser industry on the one hand and increasing consumption on the other.
3.7) DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL
Most producers do not sell their goods directly to the final users. Between producers and users stand intermediaries who work on behalf of the producers and users. These intermediaries are called channel of distribution. Marketing channels are sets interdependent organizations involved in the process of making product available for use or consumption.
