Mohit Jamwal, Dr. Akhilesh Chandra Pandey [2] ,“Consumer behaviour towards
cooperative milk societies: A Study on measuring the customer satisfaction of`
Aanchal’ milk (A Member milk union of UDFC Ltd)”.The study on Consumer
behaviour is the study of how individual make decision to spend their available
resources (time, money, effort) on consumption related items. Customer
satisfaction was measured across different attributes of the Ananchal milk and the
customer’s preference was checked across different parameters. This survey on
the sale of Ananchalmilk, it can be concluded that to evolve their production,
marketing and pricing strategies effectively.
Akhila D and Dr. C. Boopathi [3] ,”Consumer behaviour on Aavin milk and dairy
products in Pollachi of Tamil Nadu”. Tamilnadu state is one of the ten largest milk
producing states in India. The aim of the study is reveal consumer perception over
Aavin milk products based on their age, education, qualification and monthly
income of the consumer’s family. Many people buy Aavinmilk for its quality than

largest producer of milk in 90’s. Market size is increasing day by day and the
demand for that product is araising. So, the companies need a proper distribution
network for avaidability of product at demand.
Mrs. Sonali Dhawan ,”A study on consumer behaviour towards various branded
and non-branded milk with special reference to Jabalpur district in Madhya
Pradesh”. Consumer behaviour can be defined as the behaviour that consumer
display in searching for purchasing, using, evaluating and disposing of products
and services that they expect will satisfy needs and wants. But there is a lack of
awareness among the consumer about milk they are consuming. The campaign
has to be run by the companies how they pasteurized the milk and how hygienic it
is to use branded milk.
