Study on Consumer Satisfaction Level towards Nadini Milk

INTRODUCTION
.
The dairy Industry is the most important sector in the Indian economy. India is
emerging as a mega dairy market of the 21st century. The dairy industry provided the
income as well as the employment to the people. The growth of the Indian Dairy
Industry is 4.42 in the year 2004.india produces 100 million tonnes in the year 2006
and has 15.53% of the world’s milk production
The National Dairy Development Board is formed in 1965.NDDB began its
operations with an objective of making dairying a means for a better future for the
millions of the milk producers at the root level with its consistent efforts.
It started the Operation Flood Program to construct a bridge between urban users
and rural producers through a network of cooperatives. And it also fills the gap
between formal dairy and sector and rural producers by developing gradual and
concrete slabs of o-operatives in India. Karnataka Milk Federation is one of this co-
operative.

Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF). is a co-operative apex body in the state of


Karnataka representing dairy farmer’s organization and also implementing dairy
development Karnataka activities to achieve the dairy objective. KMF has 13 milk

Introduction

The history of Indian Milk Products is perhaps as old as Indian civilization


itself. Even as our ancestors began to domesticate milch animals, they found
innovative ways to convert highly perishable milk into more stable and longer lasting
milk products.

When we say 'Indian' milk products we tend to distinguish such products from
Western milk products such as cheese, yogurt, ice-creams, sweetened condensed milk
and butter oil. However, we do have parallels for all such western products in the
form of paneer, curd/lassi, kulfi, rabri and ghee

. The opportunity provided by increased availability of liquid milk can now be used
for efficiently manufacturing and marketing Indian milk products with long shelf life.
This will help in tapping the potential demand for Indian milk products in both the
domestic and foreign markets.

I commend the efforts of Dairy India to combine the learning experiences of the dairy
industry in manufacture of Indian milk products with new processes, technologies and
modern management

Development of Dairy Industry in India

During the pre-independence era, there was no serious press given to dairy
industry. In 1886. The department of defense of the British government establishes
the drain forms for the supply of milk to British troops in Allahabad. Later, 1920;
various steps were taken by Mr. William Smith, an expert in dairy forming to
improve the milk production. There was discrimination done to the Indians. In
Luknow, in 1937, called "The Luknow Milk Producers co operative Union Ltd".

The dairy and animal husbandry received attention after the independence.
There was lot man of progressive steps taken by the government through five (5)
year plans. Indian councils for the agriculture research mostly drew up these plans.

Further, our late Prime Minister Lai Bahaddur Shastri felt the need for
setting up co-operative society throughout the country for the sake of rural
development. This led to the formation of "National Dairy Development Board" in
1965. This board was registered under the society's registration act and public trust
act, having its office at Anand, Gujarat.

The dairy and Animal Husbandry received serious attention after the
independence. There were lots many of progressive steps taken by the government
through five year plans. This led to the formation of National Dairy Development
Board in 1965 & thus in 1970 he decided to Bring a “ White Revolution” through
out the country, Initially 10 states were selected were for this purpose excluding
Karnataka.
In Karnataka in 1974 an integrated project was launched to restructure and
reorganize the dairy industry on Co-operative principle of AMUL and to lay
foundation for new direction in dairy industry.

NATIONAL DARIY DEVELOMENT BOARD:

The NDDB was founded to replace exploitation with empowerment,


tradition with Modernity, Stagnation with growth, transforming dairy into and
instrument for the development of Indian’s rural people.
The NDDB was established in 1965; the board is registered under the
Societies Registration Act and the public Trust Act, fulfilling the desire of the
Prime Minister of India – the late Lal Bahaddur Shastri to extend the success of the
Kaira Co-operative Milk producers union (AMUL) TO OTHER PARTS OF India.
Dr Vergese Kurien was the founder chairman. The success combined the wisdom
& energy of farmers with professional management to successful capture liquid
milk and milk product markets while supporting farmer’s investment with inputs
and services.
The Growth:
NDDB began its operations with the mission of making dairying a vehicle
to a better future for millions of gross roots milk producers. The mission archived
helped to launce ‘’Operation Flood’’, a programmed extending over 26 years and
with the help of World Bank Loan India become the world’s largest milk
producing country. As per March 2001 India’s 96000 Dairy Co-operative are
integrated thorough a three Tier Cc-operative structure. The Anand pattern, which
is owned by more than 10 million formers, procures an average of 1605 million
liters of milk everyday. The milk is processed and marketed by 170 milk
producers’ co-operative unions which, in turn own 15 state co-operative milk
marketing federation. Since its establishment the dairy development board has
planned and spearheaded India’s Dairy programmer by placing dairy development
in the hands of milk producers and the professionals they employ to manage their
co-operatives. In addition, NDDB also promotes other commodity based co-
operative, allied industries and veterinary biologically on an intensive and nation
wide basis.

FACTORS INFLUENCING TO ESTABLISH MILK DAIRY

• Geographical location:
The ideal location of the dairy factory is on sound ground in
outskirts of the city easily approachable by good roads all through the year.
It should have an overhead tank of adequate capacity or should be
connected to large water mains of a municipal water supply.

• Size of the firm or dairy

Size of the firm is a factor to be decided by the operator depending


upon his managerial kept ability and availability of land, proposed number
of milk capacity and capital investment.

• Lighting
Good lighting is required for quality control, clearing and prevention of
worker fatigue and accidents.

• Building
The dairy should construct with masonry walls with fire resistant roof.
The installation and adhesives for cold store should be incombustible
type. Cold store and hardening rooms are to be fitted with alarm bells to
avoid leek in incidents.
• Compressor room
High capacity compressor should be fitted with safety device to prevent
build up of dangerously high pressure, which could develop if the compressor
is started with its discharge valve shut or if the cooling water supply to
condenser is stooped.

Page 9
Study on Consumer Satisfaction Level towards Nadini Milk

• Electrical installation
Safe electrical installation with a suitable system adequate to carry the
loads, safe over current protection for motors, proper grounding and use of
approved electrical materials should maintain. Because the causes fire attributes
directly or indirectly to defect electrical installation,

• Boiler room
A boiler is essential for a dairy to supply hot water and stream used in
various; operations such as washing, sterilizing. Pasteurization, condensing and
drying, etc.

• Distance from the Market


The dairy should be established at a convenient distance so that there is
market facility both for selling milk and milk products, for buying concentrates or
other requirements of the firm. Since dairy products need immediate disposal
especially liquid milk, the nearness to the market is an added advantage though
large farming may facilitate transportation by trucks: nearness will save a lot of
botheration

Dispatching

The main objective of this department is to follow up production schedule as per plan
and to maintain close and co-ordinate with order departments and ensure to upgrade the
technical efficiency of production. Milk, as it is highly perishable product has to be
proceeded immediately to avoid spoilage with respect to its flavor, texture and taste.
Production Department is well equipped and has various types of highly sophisticated
machines imported from Sweden and Denmark. Once the Milk is received from P & I
department it is first weighed with the help of weighing bowl. Later, it is poured in dump
tank. Sample testing is done through lactometer reading and other tests. The fat and NSF
content of each sample of milk is accessed. The cow and buffalo’s milk are separately
received and sent to the production section separately through two different stainless steel
pipes. Later the raw milk is passed through plate chiller of variable capacity where it is
cooled up to 4-5 degree Celsius. This cooled raw material is further stored in a silo of
30,000 liters capacity.

Purpose of Chilling:-
This is dine to avoid the growth of micro organisms, which spread the spoilage and
bitter taste. The milk which is stored in silos is pumped through pipeline to balance tank
which helps to maintain the steady speed of flow of milk in the pasteurization machine.
Page 29
Study on Consumer Satisfaction Level towards Nadini Milk

Need of Pasteurization:-
It is a process where milk is heated to high temperature and cooled instantly, to destroy
the micro organisms. The pasteurized milk is stored in Pasteurized milk silos and then
sent to pre-packing section. Packaging is done in 200ml, 500ml and 1000ml packs and
stored in cold storage.

Cream
The milk in bulk is taken to the cream separator, here the cream is separated. The
cream is passed through Pasteurization Unit. This cream is sent to Butter section. The
milk with no fat is skimmed milk. This skim milk is pumped back to Pasteurization Unit
and heated 72 degree Celsius using stem and chilled to 4degree Celsius using chilled
water and store is silos. This skimmed milk is sent to powder section. The pasteurized
cream is mixed in proportion to pasteurized milk.
Curds :-
Raw milk is heated to 90 degree Celsius and allowed to cool up to 30 degree Celsius.
Later culture is added to id and packed, the curd is formed in the packets itself. It is
stored and packed in 200ml and 500ml.
It is also packed curd in other vassals to satisfied the customers need. For example it
produces 5 liter packs for pre ordered customers. And it also makes curd in special
containers for their customer [for ISCON’s AKSHAYA PATRA YOJANA]
BUTTER:-
The cream which is stored in cream refining tank is taken to the churning section
where it is churned. Here butter fat and buttermilk are separated. The vacuum pump
removes excess of moisture, and butter comes out of the continuous butter making
machine. Butter is packed in 100, 200 and 500 and 1000 grms . These are stored in deep

About Milk
Milk is the thing that is commonly consumed by the people as the part of the food. It
is a complete food. It has almost all the nutrients which are essential for the growth of
human body.
Milk may be defined as the whole , fresh, clean lacteal secretion on obtained complete
milking of healthy milk animals.

Milk is an almost ideal food. It has high nutritive value. It supplies body-building
proteins, bone-forming minerals and health-giving vitamins and furnishes energy-giving
lactose and milk fat. Besides supplying certain essential fatty acids, it contains the above
nutrients in an easily digestible and assimilable form. All these properties make milk an
important food for pregnant mothers, growing children, adolescents, adults, invalids,
convalescents and patients alike

Milk should free from colostrums and should contain minimum prescribed percentage of
milk fat and solids non fat.

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF MILK (%) :


 Sl.No.  Species  Water  Fat     Protein  Lactose  Ash
 1  Cow   86.6  4.6  3.4  4.9  0.7
 2   Buffaloes  84.2   6.6  3.9  5.2  0.8

FOOD AND NUTRITIVE VALUE OF MILK

Proteins

Milk proteins are complete proteins of high quality, i.e. they contain all the essential
amino-acids in fairly large quantities.

Minerals

Practically all the mineral elements found in milk are essential for nutrition. Milk is an
excellent source of calcium and phosphorus, both of which, together with vitamin D,
are essential for bone formation.

Page 47
Study on Consumer Satisfaction Level towards Nadini Milk

Vitamins

These are accessory food factors which are essential for normal growth, health and the
reproduction of living organisms. Milk is a good source of Vitamin A (provided the
cow is fed sufficient green feed and fodder), Vitamin D (provided the cow is exposed
to enough sunlight), thiamine, riboflavin, etc. 

Fat (Ghee)

Milk Fat (lipid) plays a significant role in the nutritive value, flavour and physical
properties of milk and milk products. Besides serving as a rich source of energy, fat
contains significant amounts of so-called essential fatty acids (linoleic and
arachidonic). The most distinctive role which milk fat plays in dairy products concerns
flavour. The rich pleasing flavour of milk lipids is not duplicated by any other type of
fat. Milk fat imparts a soft body, smooth texture and rich taste to dairy products.
Lastly, milk lipids undoubtedly enhance the consumer acceptability of foods; they also
serve the best interests of human nutrition through the incentive of eating what tastes
good.

Lactose

The principal function of lactose (carbohydrate) is to supply energy. However, lactose


also helps to establish a mildly acidic reaction in the intestine (which checks the
growth of proteolytic bacteria) and facilitates assimilation.

Energy value

The energy-giving milk constituents and their individual contributions are as follows: 

 Milk fat  9.3 C/g


 Milk protein  4.1 C/g
 Milk sugar  4.1 C/g

Where 1 C (Food Calorie) = 1000 c (small calorie).


 
Note: The energy value of milk will vary with its composition. On an average, cow milk
furnishes 75 C/100 g and buffalo milk 100 C/100g.

By seeing above mentioned different sources of foods, the milk contains all the essential
proteins, vitamins and other minerals which other foods do not contain the all the
minerals, vitamins etc. So we can say that Milk is the complete food.

Milk may be defined as the whole, fresh, clean, lacteal secretion obtained by the
complete milking of one or more healthy milch animals, excluding that obtained within
15 days before or 5 days after calving or such periods as may be necessary to render the
milk practically colostrums-free and containing the minimum prescribed percentages of
milk fat and milk-solids-not-fat. In India, the term 'milk', when unqualified, refers to cow
or buffalo milk, or a combination of the two.

the regular customers.

CONCLUSION
I would conclude the project stating that the customers of the DHARWAD-
HUBLI City are satisfied with the Nandini Shubham Milk and they still needs good
offers and discounts as well as quality product in future days. The Nandini
Shubham Milk is a good product it can fulfill the requirement or expectation of the
customers. During the project I came to know about even though the most of
customers are satisfied with Shubham Milk but they are not purchasing it because
of reasons like non availability, price and some other reasons. Most of the
customers purchase milk which is available easily and don’t think about the brand
or quality. The retailers are also influencing them while purchasing milk. The
company maintain the same quality and apply some new improvements which may
help it to improve its market.
