a society bearing the name, The India, Burma & Ceylon Newspapers -London
Committee came into being, the name of which was changed to India & Eastern
News paper Society (IENS) on October 4,1935. This was an organization based
in London representing and acting solely under the authority of newspapers,
magazines, reviews and other journals published in India, Burma, Ceylon and
other countries of Asia. The early beginning of Society can be -traced back to
October 11, 1927. When a Society bearing the need, however was felt the
establishment of a coordinating body in this country, comp-rising the proprietors
of newspapers, which could deal directly and more expeditiously with the various
day-to-day problems arising out of newspaper -production. In September 1938,
Reuters, London introduced. A News Service to “A” subscribers on payment of
Rs.1750/- per month. It was resolved that the -agreement with them be terminated
and a new agreement entered into from -1.5.1939 providing for a comprehensive
“A” service of 1,00,000 words per month on payment of Rs.1600/-. It was also
decided that newspaper should combine be maintain a representative in the
United States, so as to bring the Indian market to the American advertisers.
Thus The Indian & Eastern Newspaper Society came into being. It was
inaugurated at meeting of the representatives of the following founding publication
on February 27, 1939, at the statesman House, New Delhi , with Mr. Arthur
More : Editor of the Statesman in the chair, with the primary object was of serving

Reuters Limited and PTI included purchase of shares in Reuters setting up an

Company Details:
 Divya Bhaskar, Gujarat daily from Dainik Bhaskar stable will hit the stands
with its Amendable edition on 22nd June. Paper would be paper would be
launched with an invitation price of Rs 1.50, to be offered to the reader
under one year guarantee bond scheme against regular cover price of Rs 2.
 According to Bhaskar Source, exhaustive research was conducted in

Ahmedabad and near by districts to determine readers requirement and
expectations from a newspaper. Survey according to the paper source was
conducted in 12 lakh households in Ahmedabad and surrounding districts.
As per the survey findings 55% people have ranked city news as very
important while 34% have ranked it as important.59% of the respondents
want their paper to be colorful and almost everyone would prefer a daily
-supplements for the family. Another factor bought out was that 85% of the
readers want not more than 25% of the front to be ads.
 Have there been any revelation in the research that Dainik Bhaskar was
not anticipating ? Girish Agarwal, Directing, Dainik Bhaskar states,
“There were quite a few of them in fact. For instant, we had not really
expected 70% of the respondents to say that their current paper is average
were the lowest option given ! And a massive 90% of the audience stated
that they felt the need for an unbiased and ethical newspaper. Broadly
speaking these two factors volumes about readers current satisfaction
level”..
 Bhaskar claims to be tailoring a Gujarat news paper as per the needs of

the people. It would as per the sources launch a newspaper with 16 main
pages, 10 pages in color which clammily is much larger than competition
and restrict front page advertising to 100cc..

99
99
 It would also launch three supplements and four magazines every week.
All of them color. These include Rasrang (family and general interest
content) on Sunday, Disha Bhaskar on Monday ( Business guidance and
career options) Madhurima on Tuesday(For Women),Kalash on Wednesday
(health, sports religion, and culture) BAL Bhaskar on Thursday (For kids),
Navarang on Friday (for film an d TV buffs) and Lifestyle on Saturday.
 It has set itself a circulation target of 4.25 lakh plus copies in Ahmedabad
and near by districts. Competitive-on is skeptical if Divya Bhaskar
would be able to sustain a steady growth rate and make a dent in SEC
A& B as the market is already ‘saturated’. Responds Agarwal,“ All these
number need to be verified after six months by an independent
research company. Naturally, my competitor is not going to say that
Bhaskar will come and take over SEC A. Let the number speak for
them.”
 Is the paper anticipation a healthy growth ? Says Agarwal, “everywhere

under the sun initial run is a sampling exercise, which gets the early
user or readers. At the entry level, we are anticipating 4 lakh plus copies.
We are putting so much effort and only to make a mark at entry level. We
plan to do things right on a long term basis. Product qualify will be good
on a consistent basis. There is no marketing formula that guarantees
product success, despite poor product quality”..
 Both Gujarat Samachar and Sandesh, as reported by exchange 4 media

earlier are getting ready for the new competition. However Agarwal is
nonchalant. Says he,” it is good for the market and provide better option.”

99
99
 Divya Bhaskar would soon launch five district edition for surrounding district
Anand, Mehsana , Nadiad, Surenndranager and palanpur Patan. Mumbai
has the largest Gujarati population in the country. One wonders if there are
no plans to launch an edition from there as well. Says Agarwal , “Of curse,
launching an edition from Mumbai is part of the plan, but it would not
happen in immediate future.”
 It is asking for an ad rate of Rs 750 per cc, with an introductory offer

or 101 days of Rs 575 per cc. And Agarwal states that initial response from
the advertiser and media fraternity ‘has been pretty good’.
 Dainik Bhaskar has every intention to venture in to other language papers

as well. Agarwal states,“ Yes, there definitely is a plan to launch papers
in other language as well. However, I fell that covering Gujarat in totally
will take us good two-three years. That is the priority at the moment.”…

Factor affecting plant location
The objectives of industrial organization are to minimize the cost of production and
to achieve progress in the industry. But, when the location of an industrial unit is
preplanned many factors are taking into consideration.
“Divya Bhaskar " has consideration all such factor before establishing a unit at
Udhana.
1] Nearness to market: -
“Divya Bhaskar “basic core product is News paper will be start from early
morning 5 o’clock. So they have to make an arrangement for hawkers and
agency person. In the early stage Divya Bhaskar has decided to take a
place in Surat city. But because of limited space, they have selected
Udhana and find that, distribution will be easily. Nearness market is
important from the point of view control over the market.
2] Product:-
Newspaper is such a product that, it is sales in the morning only. Even a
same day newspaper will not be sold either in the afternoon or evening. No
doubt the sales been made but it is of 5% of the early morning sales.
Because people are of habit to read a newspaper in the early morning, to
know for the news like politics, sports, share, etc.
3] Supply of raw material:-

Divya Bhaskar is an industry with newspaper and its basic raw materials are
paper, print ink, and aluminum plate. It has given more important to the
printing quality. They purchase a paper from the Ahmadabad. Print
purchase from Bangalore.
The supply of paper should be regular and on frequent basis. Newspapers
are print and sold every day. No doubt the sales may increase or decrease
but firm have to keep a constant watch on the stocks of a paper.

99
99
4] Transport facilities:-
The plant location which they have selected is 5 km far away from surat
railway station, while Udhana railway station is located at a distant of
1km.Divya Bhaskar has good market controls at Vapi, navsari, Valsad, and
bharuch through transport facility.
5] Power facility:-
Divya Bhaskar has selected Udhana, which is also known as Udhana
Udhyog Sangh, which is well industrial develop area well all the amenities.
Power is necessary for the process of production and for transporting
finished goods and raw material. When power shortage take place that time
Divya Bhaskar have generator and use it. When electricity supply stops that
time generator automatically start so that shortage of power not affect to
production process.
Moreover in Divya Bhaskar other work like editorial and papermaking is also a part
of production and it is done on a computer only.

99

SALES PLAN, PRODUCTION PLAN &
MATERIAL REQUIREMENT PLANNING
The mission of the purpose dept. / marketing dept. Is to save cost, provided good
quality at better price, give and take goods services. And ultimate goal is no product
shortage should be there. To carry out production, company has to purchase

2] The purpose of making production schedule is to meet the demand for the
product by the customer. At plat, production manager prepares production
schedule to produce qualities as per order placed by marketing department.
If material is unavailable, manager prepares indent and send to marketing
department. The another responsibility of production manager is to decide
which operation is to be performed on different machine at different time.
3] The preparation of this production schedule will resulted in to required raw

material, by deducting present stoke in storehouse.
4] Raw material requirements are informed by production manager through

sending IDET FORM to store department at head office. From includes final
output of raw material whether for newspaper production.

Material handling equipments
The design of material handling system is knowledge of the different
kinds and ad type of the material handling equipment that available.
There are hundreds of different kinds and types of handling equipment.
But only few of them are used in "Divya Bhaskar ".some details of that
equipment are given below.
1] Conveyer belt: -
Conveyer belt is used for traveling of good from one place to another. When
the goods is bulky or in so much quantity, conveyer belt seems very
convenient. It saves time as well as manpower. The wheels on conveyer
belt and the belt attached with them allow product to travel easily.
2] Reel shaft: -

99
99
The reels of paper in "Divya Bhaskar” are called web. These webs are
almost above 375 kg weight. There is a hole in center of webs which paper
is rolled. To lift these webs “reel shaft " is used. So, in short, reel shaft is
used to lift webs easily and to fit webs in to printing machine.
3] Rubber roller trolley: -

This trolley is used to keep long reel type material arranged properly. In
"Divya Bhaskar”, these trellised are used to keep rubber rolls. These rubber
rolls are used in printing machines and they are very important. The trolley
helps to arrange all these rubber rolls in a proper manner and their wastage
and damage can be minimized.

99
99
4] Ink container: -
Ink is used to print or write something. As “Divya Bhaskar “is a press which
prints a lot of newspapers every day and consumes almost 500kgs.ink daily,
it is very difficult to keep this much ink properly. These are the asked type
cottiers, which can move drums of ink easily and we can also easily move
them.
5] West folding machine: -

We can imagine from the name of machine that it can be used to fold
some material. As "Divya Bhaskar" is a press, it has so much wastage
material. It is very difficult to fold for each layer, print waste all paper wastes
manually. The waste folding machine folds the feed material and ties up it in
proper way. So that it can be kept easily.
6] Four clip machine: -

99
99
Four clip machines is made y Bajaj Company. This machine is use to unload
or upload heavy materials. Four clip machines have hydraulic dumper which
are helpful in uploading heavy weight up to 500kgs. "Divya Bhaskar" uses
webs which are very heavy. So four clip machines arrange webs in stores
ad climb them up.
7] Rewinding machine: -
Rewinding machine is using to rewind the roles. It is to possible that the web
used in printing machine finish every day. After printing, some layer of web
remains unused. And sometimes it is too possible to use them the next day.
In "Divya Bhaskar", these unused webs are collected and set to rewinding
machine. Here all the webs are rewinded and one full web is made, so that
they get best from their waste.
Inventory control

99
99
Inventory control is the activities that maintain stock keeping items at desire levels.
In manufacturing, since the focus is on physical product, inventory control focuses
on material control. Inventory control system monitors both the patter of demand
and the time required to deliver an order (lead time). If both demand and lead-time
are know and constant, the required inventory levels and inventory can be readily
computed. Inventory control system is the ordinary and monitory techniques used
to control the qualities & framing of inventory transaction.
The ordinary & monitory techniques used to control the quantity & framing of
inventory transaction. Company controls inventory on the basis of ERL base.
ERL method
To manufacture newspaper, paper roll/news print and aluminum plate are

the basic raw material. These materials are supplied to company’s plant,
which is nearer to production plant. Due to their home production size and
text material. Company gate benefit of purchase at uniform rate. And other
way we can say that firm receives material whenever they want. There is no
need for inquiry and quotation while placing purchase order. Again there is
no question for ordering cost and carrying cost. So these result in shorter
period of lead time.
The main advantage to the press is, the material is received at lower cost
and profit margin is not added to selling price
DIFFERENT RECORD KEPT IN STORE DEPARTMENT :-

99
99
" Divya bhaskar " kept stoke of various spare parts of machinery
required by various department as per its maintenance schedule. Moreover,
they keep less stoke of spare parts available in local market, while unavailable
spare parts are imported from outside by bringing quotation of various
companies. The company keeps stock of these types of spares parts by
ordering in large quantity to save ordering cost and to get befit of cash discount .
Including this group also have stock of stationary items like computer pages,
files, invoice ,bill book, stationary, etc.

replaced immediately if it is available in store department. Store manager has
to inform the authorized person of that department for the replacements of
spare parts to get approval letter from him, which is kept as record in store
department. Fallowing are the specimen of record kept in store department.
