have collected the primary data through questionnaire which was filled by retailers, customers.
Questions were both openand close ended. The secondary data was collected from various
website from internet.Sampling done is non probability sampling. The type of sampling method was
Judgment sampling.
Findings:
The finding was done in Nallsopara (W) OR (E )whole area , there are around more players in of
liquid milk exist. Those are like Gokul, Amul,Warana, Mother dairy, Manali, Simla, mahananda,
Chitnya and many other local brands.As per the findings mother diary he was 2nd number of market
share some times he is the Market leader and having more market share. Asbut Now Amul Have
Market Leadership OF Amul MILK Awareness of Amul dairy milk among the retailers as well as
consumers is average but acceptance is low. The sale is totally depends on the retailers. so Amul
Dahi OR LAssee Are NOT Popular so most of people are consuming loose product. or other
people buy mother diary’s product.
Data Analysis:
The data analysis has done area wise. It gives idea about the competitors of Amul dairy milk.It gives
information regarding their market share.

In the year 1946 the first milk union was established. This union was started with 250 liters
of milk per day. In the year 1955 AMUL was established. In the year 1946 the union was known as
KAIRA DISTRICT CO-OPERATIVE MILK PRODUCERS’ UNION. This union selected the
brand name AMUL in 1955.
The brand name Amul means “AMULYA”. This word derived form the Sanskrit word
“AMULYA” which means “PRICELESS”. A quality control expert in Anand had suggested the
brand name “AMUL”. Amul products have been in use in millions of homes since 1946. Amul
Butter, Amul Milk Powder, Amul Ghee, Amulspray, Amul Cheese, Amul Chocolates, Amul
Shrikhand, Amul Ice cream, Nutramul, Amul Milk and Amulya have made Amul a leading food
brand in India. (The total sale is Rs. 6 billion in 2005). Today Amul is a symbol of many things like
of the high-quality products sold at reasonable prices, of the genesis of a vast co-operative network,
of the triumph of indigenous technology, of the marketing savvy of a farmers' organization. And
have a proven model for dairy development (Generally known as “ANAND PATTERN”).
In the early 40’s, the main sources of earning for the farmers of Kaira district were farming
and selling of milk. That time there was high demand for milk in Bombay. The main supplier of the
milk was Polson dairy limited, which was a privately owned company and held monopoly over the
supply of milk at Bombay from the Kaira district. This system leads to exploitation of poor and
illiterates’ farmers by the private traders. The traders used to beside the prices of milk and the
farmers were forced to accept it without uttering a single word.
10
However, when the exploitation became intolerable, the farmers were frustrated. They collectively
appealed to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who was a leading activist in the freedom movement. Sardar
Patel advised the farmers to sell the milk on their own by establishing a co-operative union, Instead
of supplying milk to private traders. Sardar Patel sent the farmers to Shri Morarji Desai in order to
gain his co-operation and
help. Shri Desai held a
meeting at Samarkha
village near Anand, on 4th
January 1946. He advised
the farmers to form a society
for collection of the
milk.These village societies
would collect the milk
themselves and would
decide the prices at which
they can sell the milk. The district union was also form to collect the milk from such village
co-operative societies and to sell them. It was also resolved that the Government should be asked to
buy milk from the union.
However, the govt. did not seem to help farmers by any means. It gave the negative response
by turning down the demand for the milk. To respond to this action of govt., the farmers of Kaira
district went on a milk strike. For 15 whole days not a single drop of milk was sold to the traders.
As a result the Bombay milk scheme was severely affected. The milk commissioner of Bombay then
visited Anand to assess the situation. Having seemed the condition, he decided to fulfill the farmers
demand.
Thus their cooperative unions were forced at the village and district level to collect and sell
milk on a cooperative basis, without the intervention of Government. Mr. Verghese Kurien showed
main interest in establishing union who was supported by Shri Tribhuvandas Patel who lead the
farmers in forming the Co-operative unions at the village level. The Kaira district milk producers
union was thus established in ANAND and was registered formally on 14th December 1946. Since
farmers sold all the milk in Anand through a co-operative union, it was commonly resolved to sell
the milk under the brand name AMUL.
11
At the initial stage only 250
liters of milk was collected everyday.
But with the growing awareness of the
benefits of the cooperativeness, the
collection of milk increased. Today
Amul collect 11 lakhs liters of milk
everyday. Since milk was a perishable
commodity it becomes difficult to
preserve milk flora longer period.
Besides when the milk was to be
With the financial help from UNICEF, assistance from the govt. of New Zealand under the
Colombo plan, of Rs. 50 millions for factory to manufacture milk powder and butter was planned.
Dr.Rajendra Prasad, the president of India laid the foundation on November 15, 1954. Shri
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the prime minister of India declared it open at Amul dairy on November
20, 1955.

quality milk and milk products. Contrary to the traditional system, when the profit of the business
wascornered by the middlemen, the system ensured that the profit goes to the participants for their
socio-economic upliftment and common good.Looking back on the path traversed by Amul,
the following features make it a pattern and model for emulation elsewhere.Amul has been
able to:
I. •Produce an appropriate blend of the policy maker’s farmer’s board of management and
the professionals: each group appreciating its rotes and limitations.
II. Bring at the command of the rural milk producers the best of the technology and harness
itsfruit for betterment.
III. Provide a support system to the milk producers without disturbing their agro-
economicsystems.
IV. Plough back the profits, by prudent use of men, material and machines, in the rural sector
for the common good and betterment of the member producers.
V. Even though, growing with time and on scale, it has remained with the smallest
producer members. In that sense, Amul is an example par excellence, of an intervention for
rural change.The Union looks after policy formulation, processing and marketing
of milk, provision of technicalinputs to enhance milk yield of animals, the artificial
insemination service, veterinary care, better feedsand the like - all through the village
societies. Basically the union and cooperation of people brought Amul into fame i.e.

ADVERTISING
Its advertising has also started using tongue-in-cheek sketches starring the Amul baby commenting
jovially on the latest news or current events. This formed a large chunk of the collective memory of
us Indians. We grew with them as the ads grew with us. They are quirky, poke fun at no one in
particular and are pure eye-candy! We almost admire the speed with which the ad-people come up
with copy and illustration for the ads, that change every few days!!
From the Sixties to the Nineties, the Amul ads have come a long way. While most people agree that
the Amul ads were at their peak in the Eighties they still maintain that the Amul ads continue to tease
a laughter out of them
The Amul ads are one of the longest running ads based on a theme, now vying for the Guinness
records for being the longest running ad campaign ever.
26
Where does Amul's magic actually lie?
Many believe that the charm lies in the catchy lines. That we laugh because the humour is what
anybody would enjoy. They don't pander to your nationality or certain sentiments. It is pure and
simple, everyday fun.
BRANDING
The first products with the Amul brand name were launched in 1955. Since then, they have been in
use in millions of homes in all parts of India, and beyond. There is something more, though, that
makes the Amul brand special and that something is the reason for the commitment to quality and
value for money. Amul is the brand name of 2 million farmers, members of 10,000 village dairy
cooperative societies throughout Gujarat. This is the heart of Amul, it is what gives strength to
Amul, and it is what is so special about the Amul saga.
The Amul Pattern has established itself as a uniquely appropriate model for rural development. Amul
has made India one of the largest milk producers in the world.
Amul, therefore, is a brand with a difference. That difference manifests itself in a larger than life
purpose. The purpose – freedom to farmers by giving total control over procurement, production and
marketing.
Our commitment to the producer and our contract with the consumer is the reasons we are confident
that cooperative brands, like Amul, will have an even bigger role to play in the next fifty years.

II. Diversify product portfolio to enter new product categories and expand existing
categories like processed foods, chocolates etc
IV. IT support
V. Presence only in Vegetation Food Market, can launch range of non-veg items

VII. Low profit margin to Retailer, risk of switching brand
MARKETING STRATEGIES
4 MAIN STRATEGIES
First is quality. No brand survives long if its quality does not equal or exceed what the buyer
expects. There simply can be no compromise. That’s the essence of the contract. In the case of a
food product, this means that the brand must always represent the highest hygienic, bacteriological
and organoleptic standards. It must taste good, and it must be good.
Second, the contract requires value for money. If our customer buys an Amul product, she gets
what she pays for, and more. We have always taken pride in the fact that while we earn a good
income for our owners – the dairy farmers of Gujarat – we don’t do it at the cost of exploiting the
consumer. Even when adverse conditions have reduced supplies of products like butter, we have
resisted the common practice of raising prices, charging what the market would bear. Rather, we
have kept prices fair and done our best to ensure that retailers do not gain at the consumers’ expense.
The third element of the contract is availability. A brand should be available when and where the
customer wants it. There is no benefit achieved in creating a positive brand image, and then being
unable to supply the customer who wants to buy it. In our case, over the years we have built what is
probably the nation’s finest distribution network. We reach hundreds of cities and towns through a
cold chain that not only ensures that our products are available, but they reach the customer at the
farthest end of the country with the same quality as you would find in Ahmedabad or Vadodara.
The fourth part of the contract is service. We have a commitment to total quality. But,
occasionally, we may make a mistake – or, our customer may think we’ve made a mistake, and the
customer, as they say, is always right. That is why, for Amul, every customer complaint must be
heard – not just listened
30
to. And, every customer complaint must be rectified to the extent humanly possible.For close to fifty
years now, Amul has honoured its contract with the consumer. The contract that is symbolised by the
Amul brand means quality. It means value for money. It means availability. And it means service

Suggestion
In order to maintain and increase the sales in the city of Nallsopara , the following recommendations
regarding “Amul Dahi & Amul Lassee”; particularly regarding promotional policies is hereby
suggested;
I. Amul has a relatively good distribution network, but still company is
n o t a b l e t o f u l f i l l t h e demand of outlet in areas like its competitors has their
company outlet. Here company should consider on the supply of product in the peak season.

t h e p o c k e t r o a d s a n d not just in the outlets which lie on the easily accessible routes.
III. Provide reasonable Margin to retailers as compared to competitors,
t h i s m o t i v a t e s t h e m t o promote company’s milk and milk products
IV. .I m p r o v e d e l i v e r y s c h e d u l e t o p r o v i d e p r o d u c t s o n t i m e f o r t h e
r e t a i l e r s a b o u t w h o c l a i m e d that Amul milk is not available to them on time.

brand that is offering maximum margins to them.
X. The old manufacturing date on packs is creating the shifting of preference in consumer’s
choice. The consumer wants fresh due to the old manufacturing date, the consumer opts for
other brand
XI. Relationship with retailers and company should be kept under a close watch
XII. Salesmen should be given the responsibility to handle the retailer’sgrievances
