The Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying, and Fisheries, which falls under
the central Ministry of Agriculture, is responsible for all the matters relating to dairy
development in the country. This department provides advice to the state governments and
Union Territories in formulating programs and policies for dairy development. It also
looks after all the matters relating to production and preservation of livestock farms (cattle
and sheep).
Milk production is important in India, as milk is one of the main sources of protein
and calcium for a large vegetarian population. Dairying provides a livelihood for more
than 72 million Indian farmers as well as an additional income for a large number of rural
families. It is also a means for women to participate in the economic activities in the rural
areas.
The highest milk producer in the entire globe – India boasts of that status. India is
otherwise known as the ‘Oyster’ of the global dairy industry, with opportunities galore to
consuming almost 100% of its own milk production. Dairy products are a major source
of cheap and nutritious food to millions of people in India and the only acceptable source
of animal protein for large vegetarian segment of Indian population, particularly among
the landless, small and marginal farmers and women.
Anyone might want to capitalize on the largest and fastest growing milk and milk
products’ market. The dairy industry in India has been witnessing rapid growth. The
liberalized economy provides more opportunities for MNCs and foreign investors to
release the full potential of this industry. The dairy industry plays an important role in the
socio-economic development of India.
The main aim of the Indian dairy industry is only to better manage the national
resources to enhance milk production and upgrade milk processing using innovative
technologies.
1.2 Origin of the Industry:
In 1937, “Lucknow Milk Products co-operative Union limited” has set up National
Dairy Development Board (N.D.D.B) was established on 25 September 1965 under the
society’s registration Act 1950. It was a non-profit making organization.
Operation Flood has helped dairy farmers, direct their own development, placing
control of the resources they create in their own hands. A 'National Milk Grid', links milk
producers throughout India with consumers in over 700 towns and cities, reducing
seasonal and regional price variations while ensuring that the producer gets a major share
of the price consumers pay.
The bedrock of Operation Flood has been village milk producers' cooperatives,
which procure milk and provide inputs and services, making modern management and
technology available to members. Operation Flood's objectives included:
Increase milk production ("a flood of milk").
Augment rural incomes.
Fair prices for consumers.
The National Dairy Development Board thus was created to promote, finance and
support producer-owned and controlled organizations. N.D.D. B’s programs and activities
seek to strengthen farmer cooperatives and support national policies that are favourable to
the growth of such institutions. Fundamental to N.D.D. B’s efforts are cooperative
principles and cooperative strategies. The main aim to set up the board was to accelerate
the pace of dairy development in the country and attract new investments. In 1999 India
became the largest producer of milk primarily due to the efforts of the co-operative
movement initiated by the National Dairy Development Board (N.D.D.B).

women.
Milk Production:
India's milk production increased from 21.2 million MT in 1968-69 to 104.8
million MT in 2017-18 and to 110 million MT in 2017-18(Anticipated).
Per capita availability of milk was 252 grams per day in 2017-18increased from
241grams per day in 2017-18, up from 112 grams per day in 1968-69.
India's 3.8 percent annual growth of milk production between 1997-98 and 2017-
18 surpasses the 1.8 per cent growth in population; the net increase in availability
is around 2 per cent per year.
Innovation:
Bulk-vending - saving money and the environment.
Milk travels as far as 2,200 kilometres to deficit areas, carried by innovative rail
and road milk tankers.
Automatic Milk Collection Unit (AMCU) and Bulk Milk Cooler (BMC) at grass
root level – preserve quality and reduce post-procurement losses.
Macro Impact:
The annual value of India's anticipated milk production amounts to more than
Rs.1,430 billion in 2017-18.
Dairy cooperatives generate employment opportunities for around 13.9 million
farm families.
Livestock contributes about 25.6 per cent to the GDP from agriculture.
About 22.45 million people work in livestock sector, which is around 5.8% of the
total work force in the country.
There are a large variety of traditional Indian milk products such as:
Ghee - butter oil prepared by heat clarification, for longer shelf life.
The market for indigenous based milk food products is difficult to estimate as most
of these products are manufactured at home or in small cottage industries catering to local
areas.
1.5 India's milk product mix:
Ghee 27.5%
Curd 7.0%
Butter 6.5%

India is the world's highest milk producer and all set to become the world's
largest food factory. In celebration, Indian Dairy sector is now ready to invite NRIs and
Foreign investors to find this country a place for the mammoth investment projects. Be
it investors, researchers, entrepreneurs, or the merely curious – Indian Dairy sector has
something for everyone.
India contributes to world milk production rise from 12-15%& it will increase
up to 30-35% by the year 2020.

SKILL MATRIX:
1. Production department
2.Financial department
McKinsey’s 7s model:
There are 7 basic dimensions, which represent the core of managerial activities.
These are the ‘levelers’, which executes use to influence complex and large organizations.
Obviously, there was a concerned effort on the part of the originators of the model to coin
the managerial variables with words beginning with the letter S. So as to increase the
communications power of the model.
Application of 7s Model:
1. Structure:
The organization chart and accompanying baggage that show who reports to
whom and how tasks are both divided and integrated.
2. Strategy:
Providing good quality of milk and milk products to the people of urban
area by scientifically processing the milk obtained from rural area.
Creating harmonious environment where the human resources of the union
can perform at its best and being a communication bridge between
producers and consumers.
3. System:
MIS in SHIMUL:
MIS in SHIMUL performs five functions, which help the management to run the
organization without any problems. The functions are as follows:
Resource management
Product realization
Style is one which top managers can use to bring about organization change. The
aspects of business most emphasized by members of the top management tend to be given
more attention by people down in organization. Reporting relationship may also convey
the style of the organization.
5. Staff:
Presently there are about 238 in SHIMUL.Employees are the functional unit of any
organization. The company contributes to the prosperity of the society as whole by
providing equal opportunities to all. The company provides training to get gainful, high
performance employees.
The qualified personnel with required skills and competency are recruited and
selected for the required designation.
For example: for recruiting and selecting the manpower required by the production
department the criteria would be B. Tech (Dairy Technology) and Bachelor of Engineering
for maintenance of boilers, who have the capabilities and competencies to handle the
functioning of work smoothly.
7. Shared values:
The common feeling among the people in the SHIMUL is that they are meeting
the demands of the customers and fulfilling the expectations in the form of productions
and its variability. The employee also have belief that they are giving at the best possible
price to milk they procure from farmers. Value of SHIMUL:
Honesty
Discipline
Transparency
Cleanliness
Total quality
Self-reliance
Co-operative free politics
Respecting others opinions, emotions, thoughts, and feelings.
Porter's Five Forces is a model which identifies and analyses five competitive forces that
shape every industry and helps determine an industry's weaknesses and strengths. Frequently
Porter's Five Forces is a business analysis model that helps to explain why different
industries are able to sustain different levels of profitability.
The forces are frequently used to measure competition intensity, attractiveness and
profitability of an industry or market. These forces are:
3. Power of suppliers;
4. Power of customers;
As such in the industry there are no mergers or acquisitions. However, if any MNC wishes to
enter through this route then the competition might be severe
There is an immense level of Brand Preference of Nandini milks in the minds of the people.
The level of preference specifically in the liquid milk sector is that they would go to other
retailer only if the retailer does not have Nandini milk.
Here is appropriate bargaining power of the supplier. In olden days there were not any kind
of cooperative societies as the farmer was exploited. But nowadays the farmer’s rights are
protected under the cooperative rules and regulations, which ultimately results in moderate
power of bargaining from the supplier
The switching of brands is seen very much in products such as ice cream, curd, milk
powders, milk additives etc. but it can be seen comparatively less in liquid milk category.
Even if the buyers shift to the other brands of milk, the value that they get is less than they
would get from consuming Nandini.
Threats Of Substitute
Different substitutes are available for different category of products. There is ample
availability of low priced substitutes from local vendors and retailers.

Inference: The above table shows the current ratio of the organization in the year 2017-
18 and 2017-18is 0.79:1 and 0.63:1 respectively. The current ratio has decreased from
2017-18 to 2016-17. Its shows the organization’sshort term solvency hasworseneddueto
decrease in current assets and increase in current liabilities of the organization.
Quick ratio:
Quick ratio=Liquid assets/Current liabilities
Inference: As per the above table the organization’s debt equity ratio has slightly
increased from 0.71:1 in the year 2017-18 to 0.72:1 in the year 2016-07. It can be
interpreted that the organization’s financial structure is deteriorating as the increase in debt
will put the company in risk.
Inference:
The above table depicts the company’s gross profit ratio in the year 2017-18 and 2017-
18is 7.9% and 7.18% respectively. There is a decline in the ratio. This shows that the
SHIMUL’s ability to cover operating costs has been decreased, which in not a good sign
to the company.
Inference: As observed from the above tabulation the net profit ratio of the organization
in the year 2017-18 and 2017-18is 0.15% to 0.63% respectively. There is a significant
Inference: As observed from the above table the operating cost ratio of the organization
in the year 2017-18 and 2017-18is 99.24% and 99.32% respectively.This can be
interpreted the organization is maintaining a stable operating ratio.
Return on assets:
Return on assets=Profit before interest and tax (PBIT)/Total assets X 100.
Inference: It is shown in the above table that the company’s return on assets in the year 2017-
18 and 2017-18is 1.97% and 3.8% respectively. The ratio has increased due to a significant
increase in PBIT. This indicates that there is an improvement in effective utilization of the
SHIMUL’s assets to generate profit.
Inference: From the table it is known that the company’s ROCE in the year 2017-18 and
2017-18is 0.84% and 5.75% which has drastically increased. This is because of the
increase in adjusted net profit. This is a good sign to the organization as it is yielding
more return for the capital employed in the business.
Inference: As per the above table the company’s Earnings per share (EPS) in the year in
2017-18 and 2017-18is Rs 33.46 and Rs 167.04 respectively. Thus there is a huge increase
in the EPS of the company. This is a good sign to the company as the earnings of each
share have been increased. This is due to significant increase in net profit of the company.
I got a practical experience about the working of an organization.
I learnt how to relate the theoretical concepts learnt in classroom to the organizational
functioning.
I learnt how managerial concepts are applied in an organization.
I have observed and realized the importance of division of work among various
personnel according to their skills, ability and experience.
I have learnt that unity of command is important for attainment of any task effectively.
The company follows this approach whereby a subordinate receives instructions only
from one superior. This ensures that the job is done with minimum confusion.
I have observed the necessity of team spirit for a successful organization. In any
organization, employees have to work in unity. In this organization, a have seen
employees sharing a high level of team spirit, understanding and coordinating which
have contributed to its success.
I have observed how important one’s attitude is in an organizational context. If one has
a positive attitude, that employee will excel in work and if one has a negative attitude,
that employee will be dissatisfied and will not be successful and contribute to
organizational interests.
I have realized that finance department of the organization has got the responsibility
of careful planning, utilization of the financial resources, and well-structured approach
in raising funds and systematic design in undertaking several schemes, projects and
investments. These activities have helped the organization in continued profit and
progress.
CHAPTER 1
The Indian foundry industry is well established industry in the country. According to the recent
world census of casting by modern casting USA India ranks 2nd largest casting producer
producing about 7.44 million tons of various grade of casting as per international standards.
The various type of casting which are produced are ferrous, non-ferrous aluminum alloy,
graded cast iron, ductile, iron, steel etc for application in automobiles, railways, pumps
compressors and valves, diesel, engines, cements / electrical / textile machinery, sanitary pipes
and fittings etc and castings for special applications. However grey iron castings are the major
share approx 70% of total castings produced. There are approx 4500 units out of which 80%can
be classified as small-scale units and 10% each as medium and add large scale units. Approx
500 units are having international quality accreditation. the large foundries are modern and
globally competitive and are working at nearly full capacity.
The industry directly employs about 5,00,000 people and indirectly about 1,50,000 people and
is labour intensive . The small units are mainly development on manual labour. However ,the
cast metal products are found in 90 percent of manufactured goods and equipment, from critical
components for aircraft and automobiles to home appliances and surgical equipment cast metal
products are integral to the global company and our way of life. The U.S. metal casting industry
is the worlds largest supplier of casting, shipping cast products valued at over $18billion
annually and directly employing 225000 people. Metal casting companies are often at the heart
of the economy in the communities where they reside. Of the 2950 metal casting establishments
located throughout the united states, over 80 percent are small business. Now the fourth largest
producer of metal castings worldwide, India has increased its casting production by more than
100% since 2002. No other large casting producer matches that growth that time frame. The
expansion stems from India’s large and rapidly growing economy, which has the potential to
raise its income per capita to 35 times current levels over the next 40 years.
Types of foundries:
Foundries classified according to the nature of work them under taken and the framework of
these organizations. The types of foundry are as follows
1. Captive foundry
2. Jobbing foundry
3. Production foundry
4. Semi-production foundry
Captive foundry:
It makes casting for that manufacturing organization and all the casting made in a captive
foundry are consumed or used in the products being manufactured by that organization.
This type of foundry normally products small number of casting of a given type for different
customer. Such foundry some times also has the function of mass production.
Production foundry:
Semi-production foundry:
It is a combination of jobbing foundry and production foundry as regarding its nature of work
is concerned.
There are more than 5,000 foundry units in India, having an installed capacity of approximately
7.5 million tons per annum. The majority (nearly 95%) of the foundry units in India falls under
the category of small-scale industry. The foundry industry is an important employment
provider and provides direct employment 9to about half a million people.
A peculiarity of the foundry industry in India is its geographical clustering. Some of the major
foundry clusters in the country are shown in the map. Typically, each foundry cluster is known
for catering to some specific end-use markets. For example, the Coimbatore cluster is famous
for pump-sets casting, the Kolhapur and the Belgaum clusters foe automotive castings and the
Rajkot cluster for diesel engine casting.
a) Belgaum
b) Batala /Jalandhar
c) Coimbatore
d) Kolhapur
e) Rajkot
Indian foundries are primarily family owned which explains the host of small set up’s,
primarily cater to the railways, industrial machineries and machine tools and the automobiles
segment. Since the demand for automobiles and other industries mentioned above has been
increasing rapidly , the casting industry is securing much demand.
According to Goldman sashes, in 2050, india is expected to have one of the three largest
economies (by GDP) in the world , along china first and the U.S. (second) and be an order of
magnitude large than japan, which ranks fourth. Estimates put the current size of the india
economy at $1 trillion , with GDP growth rates around 7.5 to 8.5% second only to china part
of that growth will be attributed to the rise of manufacturing in india.
Seven iron steel casting groups now have casting capacity approximately or exceeding of
100,000 metric tones per year. Six aluminium casting groups each have a casting capacity of
20,000 metric tones per year. Some industry observes estimate the potential for production
capacity will reach 10 million metric tons by 2012, which will require as much as $2 billion of
investment to achieve.
Casting is a manufacturing process by which a liquid material is usually poured into a mold,
which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The solidified
part is also known as a casting, which is ejected or broken out of the mold to complete the
process.
A foundry is a factory that produces metal casting. Metals are cast into shapes by melting them
into a liquid, pouring the metal in a mold, and removing the mold material or casting after the
metal has solidified as it cools. The most common metals processed are aluminum and cast
iron. Other metals, such as bronze, brass, steel, magnesium, and zinc, are also used to produce
casting in foundries. In this process, parts of desired shapes and sizes can be formed.
Casting is the process of giving shape to or reproducing an object by pouring its material in
liquid form into a mould. Casting is the process of melting metal and pouring it into a mould .
casting is the process of the melting metal and pouring it into a cavity that has been molded on
a pattern into a desired shape. The metal is allowed on a pattern into a desired shape. The metal
The origin of casting goes back to over 5000BC. The age of metals came into existence, the
use metal weapons and instruments and instead of stone. The first was the copper age then
came the iron age after few centuries. Then came the alloy of copper and tin. These were
observed in all the upcoming civilization like Egyptian, Aryan, Babylonian civilization. Even
the gold and silver instruments were casted and used in those days. Metals art in India goes
beck to antiquity. The earliest bronzes have been found at Mohanjadoroand Harappa casting
metals particularly bronze for producing objects and artistic and utilitarian valves are made in
Sindhu civilization . they are used arid refined copper ,low and high tin bronze copper sonic
alloy for casting .
Cast metal parts are used for more than 90% of an automobile engine and for more than 50%
of the total weight of a tractor.
From the above application is evident that without castings it is unlikely to bring an existence
the most of the products today.
Man has been making casting metal object for artistic and practical purpose since very early
time civilization the shaping of metals in the liquid state or molten state has been developed
for countries. History has abundant proof which throws light on the on the fact that casting is
one of the oldest techniques of casting dates back to approximately 4000 B.C. the manufactured
and uses of casting can be trace back both in ancient and medieval history.
The first foundry center came into existence the days of SHANG DYNASTY in china , Greek
and roman history reveals the use of decorated ornaments and metal bell. In about 1540 A.D,
The casting industry supplies castings not only for the automotive industry but also for a
number of other industries including forming and public work machines, machining tools and
public services. It is indeed the foundations of many industries on the automotive industries ,
however, is the primary customer for the casting industry the motorization of chain and other
countries will result in an increase in the global production of castings. On the other hand, the
production volume of casting in the US, Europe and Japan may increase to some extent but a
large increase to some extent but a large increase is not expected in these regions. There is no
doubt however that the global casting industry will continue to rely on the automotive industry
the biggest consumer of casting for it success.
The foundry industry has grove in volume over several decades office poised to grown further
in future. one of the peculiar of this industry is that total production is contributed by a number
of medium and large scale from the original sector and thousand small scale units from the un-
organised sector. An individual foundry existing now can produce right from 20 tons per month
to 1000 tons per month with a set of about Rs20 lakhs to Rs100 crores .one could just imagine
the vast difference in the size between the units of the same industry in terms investments and
outputs. The draw a wide line between the units in all respects through both belongs to the
same industry. The product range of these industries covers ordinary low grade casting to
highly integrated higher grade castings with vast different in terms of technology methods
pricing etc.
The casting industry has grown largely in response to the demands of the automotive
manufacturers production overseas and the demands for greater environmental protection
caused serious challenges to the casting industry. There is a wide demand and industry is
concentrating on meeting various needs. In 2020 the production is estimated to 1250 tons per
month. The revenue expected to increase at a rate of 12%.
1.5 Opportunities
Today’s Foundries are necessarily needed to develop more efficient processes and
design process in order to survive in near future
Operating efficiency depends upon the costly rework of operation if incase any
defects occurs, hence there is a need to prevention of rework.
There is more depend for the innovative products than common products
having more competitors.
Manufacturing sector contribute around 25% to GDP and create 100 million
additional jobs in next 10 years. Every sector like Engineering and other sectors
need metal castings for various purposes.

The first of the five forces refers to the number of competitors and their ability to undercut a
company. The larger the number of competitors, along with the number of equivalent products
and services they offer, the lesser the power of a company. Suppliers and buyers seek out a
company's competition if they are able to offer a better deal or lower prices. Conversely, when
competitive rivalry is low, a company has greater power to charge higher prices and set the
terms of deals to achieve higher sales and profits.
Power of Customers :
The ability that customers have to drive prices lower or their level of power is one of
the five forces. It is affected by how many buyers or customers a company has, how significant
each customer is, and how much it would cost a company to find new customers or markets
for its output. A smaller and more powerful client base means that each customer has more
power to negotiate for lower prices and better deals. A company that has many, smaller,
independent customers will have an easier time charging higher prices to increase
profitability.The Five Forces model can help businesses boost profits, but they must
continuously monitor any changes in the five forces and adjust their business strategy.
Threat of Substitutes :
Substitute goods or services that can be used in place of a company's products or
services pose a threat. Companies that produce goods or services for which there are no close
substitutes will have more power to increase prices and lock in favorable terms. When close
substitutes are available, customers will have the option to forgo buying a company's product,
and a company's power can be weakened.
Understanding Porter's Five Forces and how they apply to an industry, can enable a company
to adjust its business strategy to better use its resources to generate higher earnings for its
investors.

It was the great experience to undertake my project at Eshwar steel tech private ltd.
Where I learnt many things about the functioning of the organisation in accordance with
the present market trends. The interaction with the employees gave me an insight and
practical experience of the industrial scenario in the competitive environment outside
the realms of the organisation.
The objective of the in-plant training was to give exposure to industry and corporate
working. I had the opportunity to study one of the esteemed organization in shivamogga
district.
This gave me a chance to peep into the practicalities of the ‘corporate working
experience’. During this period, it was totally a new experience for me to enter into the
organization.
The departmental study helped me to identify and understands different department of
the organisation and their working nature. The style management is very supportive and
service minded board of directors.
