in respect of Trimula Cotton & Agro Products Pvt Ltd. It is an undisputed fact that recruitment
and selection process plays a dominant role in the progress of the company. Recruitment forms the
first stage in the process which continues with selection and ceases with the placement of the
candidate. Recruiting makes it possible to acquire the number and types of people required to the
organization. Recruiting is the process of discovering of potential applicants for actual or
anticipated organizations vacancies. In other words, it is a “linking activity” bringing together those
with jobs and those seeking jobs.
The selection procedure is concerned with securing relevant information about an applicant

INDUSTRY PROFILE
In our country India more than 70% of the total population was depend on
agriculture. So, there is a much demand for an Agro products Most of the people were depend on
cotton also.
For this interest the Indian industrial development of cotton seed processing was first at
Navasri, Surat (DT), and Rajasthan, second at Punjab and third at Hyderabad (A.P) in 1937 by Sri.
Govindram Sakseria (125 tones/day) after this heavy production India now occupies the fourth
place among the cotton seed production countries in the world.
Many of the people depend on this cotton seed agriculture. It is a seasonal crop. The rate of
these cotton/cotton seeds was depending up on the various factors relating to the farmer. That is
price of seed, rate of fertilizers and rain etc. This is history of the cottonseed. Now there is a heavy
demand for this cottonseed because lots of products were made with cotton or cottonseed.
AGRO INDUSTRIES
-
The word "Agro Industries" broadly means industries manufacturing inputs for agriculture
or the industries processing agricultural outputs. Agencies supporting agriculture by designing and
manufacturing inputs are termed as "Agro Industries" and those supporting by agricultural products
are termed as "Agro based industries". Modem Agro industries manufacture chemicals and supply
agricultural input either on each basis or realize the value in installments.
10
inputs to agriculture is an Agro based industry". Due to rapid changes in technology. The
out put of agriculture. Agro industries and Agro based industries has increased in the same manner.
We found the improvement not only in output of cotton and titles, but also in the whole range of
plantations like tea, coffee, groundnuts, cash nut and course juts.
Generally most of the industries use agriculture output as basic raw materials. But this
concept defers in case of Agro industries. It is conformed to those industries that are engaged in
processing the agriculture product.
Since Agro industries directly influence the cost structure of forming Agro based
industries. They have their impact on the receipts of the farmer Agro industries also serve as a
mean for providing better employment opportunities to the labour during off-season.
Background
India is one of the world‘s leading producers of oil seeds and oil, contribution 9.3% of world
seeds production. India produces largest number of commercial varieties of oil seeds over nearly
28.4n million hectares of land. The major edible oils produced in India are ground nut, rage seed,
Soya, cottonseed sesames casters, sunflower, etc., Groundnut is the most widely consumed and
traded edible oil India second largest producer of groundnut, next only to china. But groundnut
being primarily a kharif crop is vulnerable to vagaries of monsoon and also activities in 1966,
the government set-up a technology mission on oil seeds, to increase production of other oil and
to reduce the dependence on oil imports. The strategy followed was to increase productivity with
better firm inputs and practices.
Increase followed under oilseed crop. Encourage winter oil seed crop. This led to a sharp
increase in oil seed production driven mainly by rape seed, sunflower castors and Soya. Oil seed
production jumped from 6% million ton in themed 1980 to around 22 million currently India is
today world‘s third largest producers of rape seed and Cotton seeds.
The primary business of the Company is processing of Oil-Seeds and Refining of Crude Oil
for Edible use. The Company also produces oil meal, food products from soya and value-added
products from downstream processing. The size of Indian edible oil and oil seed industry is
estimated to be around Rs. 90,000 core (USD 19 billion).
The domestic edible oil consumption has been steadily growing and is estimated to be over
15 million MT in the current year with Palm and soya oil, in which our Company has a dominant
11
presence, contributing over 60% volume. In view of the demand- supply gap, over 55% of the
domestic edible oil consumption is met by imports, with Palm and Soya accounting for close to
90%of the imported volume. The oil meal is essentially consumed as poultry, fish and cattle feed, a
substantial part of soya meal is exported to the Asian region even though the domestic demand is
growing.
The Indian edible oil sector is, by and large, a price conscious and price sensitive market, as
a substantial part of consumption takes place at the bottom end of the pyramid. The propensity to
consume is correlated with the changes in prices of edible oil and the quantum of disposable
income. With rising incomes, food remains an important item of expenditure to warrant large share
of incremental spending. Edible oil is and will remain an important constituent of dietary plan
despite varied eating habits and varied methods of cooking across the different states/regions in the
country. Keeping in view the steady rate of GDP growth and Income growth expected in India, it is
estimated that the domestic demand for edible oil in India, will also consequently rise. According to
the industry estimates, the consumption of edible oil will increase from the current level of 15
million MT to over 20 million MT by the year 2015.
The recent widespread monsoon with reasonably equitable distribution of rainfall across the
country has improved prospects of better agricultural production in India than the previous year.
The current indications augur well for the agricultural sector in general and solvent extraction
industry in particular in the current year. With the improvement in the price trend, it is believed that
operations of the crushing industry will be better than the previous year.

Sanwaria Agro Oils Ltd. (SAOL) is an integrated agro food processor engaged in the
business of manufacturing soya oil and soya cake. SAOL is a solvent extractor and manufacturer
of soya refined oil and de-oiled cake. In addition to normal soy meal, it also produces specialized
high protein soybean meal. As of March 31, 2010, SAOL exported about 65% of production of soy
meal. It has three brands, such as NARMADA, SULABH and SANWARIA in its product basket.
As of March 31, 2010, it focused on two segments: Solvent Extraction & Refining, which involved
processing, extraction and refining of soya seed and soya-refined oil and trading, and Power
Generation. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, its soya seeds processed stood at
219,662 metric tons and production of refined oil stood at 27,701 metric tons. As of March 31,
2010, it had wind turbine generators of 8.4 megawatts capacity out of which 1.8 megawatts at
Tenkasi in Tamilnadu and 6.6 megawatts at Dewas in Madhya Pradesh
Ruchi soya
Ruchi soya is one of the largest player in India's branded edible oil category
accounting for 20 % of the domestic market share with over 7000 TPD of refining and over 9560
TPD of crushing capacities .It is the largest Company in the edible oil & Oilseed Industry
with a distribution network of around 5,83,000 retail outlets. Being the first exporter of Soya bean
meal from India, it has grown to become a multi-million US Dollar company with two of strongest
brands, Nutrela and Ruchi Gold .It has to its credit Highest Importer & Exporter of Oil Meals for
2006 awarded by GLOBEOIL India. During the current year, oil seed acreage has shifted to grains
in the world and the bulk decline occurred in US and China bean production. The total production
of 5 major oil seeds is expected to decline in 2007 -08 over last year by 4 %. Of these crops, the
13
world Soya production is likely to go down from 236 million Tons in 2006-07 to 221million Tons
in 2007-08 (a fall of 6.4%). The Gross Capital Formation (GCF) in agriculture as a proportion of
GDP in the agriculture sector has improved to 12.5% for FY 06-07 from a low of 10.2% in 03-04.
With a view to give a boost to the farming sector which is considered as a quintessential to the
growth of the Indian economy the target for GCF has been raised to 16% during the Eleventh plan
to achieve a growth rate of 4% from the current growth rate of 1.8% with a target GDP growth
rate of
10%. In a move to curb the rising inflation which has raised to the highest the Government of India
has scrapped the import duty on crude soybean and palm oil, and lowered the levy on refined
edible oil to 7.5 percent on March 31'08. India, imports almost half the vegetable oil it needs from
overseas.

Extraction is basically a process of diffusion of solvent into oil-bearing sells of the raw material,
resulting solution of the oil in solvent in a nut shell, the extraction process consist of treating the raw
material with hexane and recovering the by distillation of the smelting solution of oil in hexane called
miscellany.
The hexane absorbed in the material is recovered is reused for extraction. The hexane absorbed in the
material is recovered is reused for extraction. The low boiling point of hexane (67c) and the solubility of oils
and fats in it are the properties exploited in the process. The entire extraction process can be divided into
the following stages.

be laid the existing supply line. The power requirement is about 180 KVA for which the AP Transco has
already agreed.
2. WATER:
The required water is available internally from the available bore wells. The water is available bulk
and suitable for domestic and industrial purpose
3. MAN POWER:
The new unit is required around 45 personal in all which includes supervises, skilled, semi skilled
labour in addition to the technicians. The additional man power is available in and around the unit has
NO. Similar units are working since last 15years. In addition to this there will be an increased in parallel
equalization of the existing technicians in both the proposed solvent plant and existing oil mill with
modernized refinery.
4. FUEL
The fuel required for this proposed solvent plant is Rice husk. The stunc is available in and around the local
areas as there is no. of Rice mills in Guntur and Prakasam districts. As the present oil mill also consumes
the husk for the boiler the suppliers of rice husk can supply the required quality to this unit also as such no
problem in getting required quantity of the husk.
•EFFLUENT TREATMENT:
Since the basic product is Agro based there is no problem to treat the effluent that are coining in this
process. The existing system of treatment of effluent in the oil mill is sullietent to treat the effluent coming
out of this process.
The AP pollution control board has already agreed for this system of treating the effluent. BASIC

Planning:
Before recruitment, check the duties and responsibilities your organization needs to have
performed:
Is the current job description really what the organization needs?
29
Recruitment:
Ands in the local paper is only one way of recruiting, other options include:
Internal notices such as newsletters or email messages
Notices on public notices boards either within your organization or in other places
Existing networks and word of mouth advertising are cheap and effective
Recruitment agencies can help sort out potential applicants and therefore save you time.
Advertising:
What goes in an advertisement?
Title and job description
Job status and salary
Required skills and knowledge
Contact details
Application closing dates
You must not break anti-discrimination laws and job advertisements must be clear and truthful
Selecting staff:
You need a good quality selection criteria and an informed and organized interview panel!
Short listing candidates will save lots of time.
Questions you ask at the interview must be consistent for all applicants and the questions
must relate to the position.
You can ask about existing injuries if it is relevant to the position, but be careful-obviously
they have to be able to do the job however it is illegal to discriminate on the grounds of
disabilities.

and areas to be improved.
Moving On:
No matter how good a boss you might be, people do need to move on. Make sure you have some
strategies to retain the corporate knowledge – it could be records books, on line logs or any other
record keeping strategy.
Sometimes we have to move people as they are not able to perform to the required level. If you
think this may be the case, make sure you have good record keeping procedures in place and follow
the policies and procedures in your organization.

Is it possible for under-performers to be placed in a different role in your organization? It would
save time, money and anxiety for all involved if alternatives to losing the staff member could be
found.
RECRUITMENT PROCESS
Recruitment refers to the process of identifying and attraction job seekers so al to build a
pool of qualified job applicants.
The process comprises five inter-related stages, viz.
i. Planning
ii. Strategy Development
iii. Searching
iv. Screening
v. Evaluation and control.
SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT
Every organization has the option of choosing the candidates for its recruitment processes
from two kinds of Sources:
Internal Source
External Source
INTERNAL SOURCE: The Sources within the organization itself (like transfer of employees
from one department to other, promotions) to fill a position are known as the internal Sources of
recruitment.
EXTERNAL SOURCES: Recruitment candidates from all the other Sources (like outsourcing
agencies etc.) are known as the external Sources of recruitment.
32
SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT

Retired Employees Employment
Retrenched exchanges

INTERNAL SOURCES:
TRANSFERS
The Employees are transferred from one department to another according to their efficiency and
experience
PROMOTIONS
The employees are promoted from one department to another with more benefits and greater
responsibility based on efficiency and experience.
UPGRADING AND DEMOTION of present employees according to their performance.
33
RETIRED AND RETRENCHED EMPLOYEES may also be recruited once again in case of
shortage of qualified personnel or increase in load of work. Recruitment such people save time
and costs of he organizations as the people already aware of the organizational culture and the
policies and procedures.
The dependents and relatives of DECEASED EMPLOYEES AND DISABLED EMPLOYEES are
also done by many companies so that the members of he family do not become dependent on the
mercy of others.
EXTERNAL SOURCES
PRESS ADVERTISEMENTS
Advertisements of the vacancy in newspaper and journals are a widely used Source of
recruitment. The main advantage of this method is that it has a wide reach.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTES
Various management institutes, engineering colleges, medical colleges etc, are a good
Source of recruiting well qualified executives, engineers, medical staff etc. They provide
facilities for campus interviews and placements. This Source is known as Campus Recruitment.
PLACEMENT AGENCIES
Several private consultancy firms perform recruitment functions on behalf of client
companies by charging a fee. These agencies are particularly suitable for recruitment of
executives and specialists. It is also known as RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing).
EMPLOYMENT EXCHANGES:
Government establishes public employment exchanges throughout the country. These
exchanges provide job information to job seekers and help employers in identifying suitable
candidates.
LABOUR CONTRACTORS
Manual workers can be recruited through contractors who maintain close contacts with the
Sources of such workers. This source is used to recruit labour for construction jobs.
UNSOLICITED APPLICANTS
Many job seekers visit the office of well-known companies on their own. Such callers are
considered nuisance to the daily work routine of the enterprise. But can help in creating the
talent pool or the database of the probable candidates for the organization.
EMPLOYEE REFERRALS / RECOMMENDATIONS
Many organizations have structured system where the current employees of the organization
can refer their friends and relatives for some position in their organization. Also, the office
34
bearers of trade unions are often aware of the suitability of candidates. Management can inquire
these leaders for suitable jobs. In some organizations these are formal agreements to give
priority in recruitment to the candidates recommended by the trade union.
RECRUITMENT AT FACTORY GATE
Unskilled workers may be recruited at the factory gate these may be employed where never a
permanent worker is absent. More efficient among these may be recruited to fill permanent
vacancies.
35
INTERNAL FACTORS
The internal forces i.e. the factors which can be controlled by the organization are:
1. RECRUITMENT POLICY
The recruitment policy of an organization specifies the objectives of recruitment and provides a
framework for implementation of recruitment programme. It may involve organizational system to
be developed for implementing recruitment programmes and procedures by filling up
vacancies with best qualified people.
EXTERNAL FACTORS
The external forces are the forces which cannot be controlled by the organization.
1. SUPPLY AND DEMAND
The availability of manpower both within and outside the organizations is an important
determinant in the recruitment process. If the company has a demand for more
professionals and there is limited supply in the market for the professionals demanded by the
company, then the company will have to depend upon internal Sources by providing them
special training and development programs.
36
2. LABOUR MARKET
Employment conditions in the community where the organization is located will influence
the recruiting efforts of the organizations. If there is surplus of manpower at the time of
recruitment, even informal attempts at the time of recruiting like notice boards display of the
requisition or announcement in the meeting etc will attract more than enough applicants.
3. IMAGE / GOODWILL
Image of the employer can work as a potential constraint for recruitment. An organization
with positive image and goodwill as an employer finds it easier to attract and retain employees
than an organization with negative image. Image of a company is based on what organization
does and affected by industry. For example finance was taken up fresher MBA’s when many
finance companies were coming up.
4. POLITICAL –SOCIAL – LEGAL ENVIRONMENT
Various government regulation prohibiting discrimination I hiring and employment have
direct impact on recruitment practices. For example, Government of India has introduced
legislation for reservation in employment for scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, physically
handicapped etc. Also, trade unions play important role in recruitment. This restricts
management freedom to select those individuals who it believes would be the best performers.
5. UNEMPLOYMENT RATE
One of the factors that influence the availability of applicants is the growth of the economy
(whether economy is growing or not and its rate). When the company is not creating new jobs,
there is often oversupply of qualified labour which in turn leads to unemployment.
6. COMPETITORS
The recruitment policies of the competitors also effect the recruitment function of the
organizations. To face the completion, many a times the organizations have to change their
recruitment policies according to the policies being followed by the competitors.
HR CHALLENGES IN RECRUITMENT
The major challenges faced by the HR in recruitment are:
Adaptability to globalization – The HR professionals are expected and required to keep in
tune with the changing times, i.e. the changes taking place across the globe. HR should
maintain the timeliness of the process.
Lack of motivation- Recruitment is considered to be a thankless job. Even if the
organization is achieving results, HR department or professionals are not thanked for
37
recruiting the right employees and performers.
Process analysis – the immediacy and speed of the recruitment process are the main
concerns of the HR in recruitment. The process should by flexible, adaptive and responsive
to the immediate requirements. The recruitment process should also be cost effective.
Strategic prioritization – The emerging new systems are both an opportunity as well
as a challenge for the HR professionals. Therefore, reviewing staffing needs and
prioritizing the tasks to meet the changes in the market has become a challenge for the
recruitment professionals.

his family to the job;
