HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Human resource management IS rather difficult to say
spontaneously what management means though we have studied a course
in management. But it is necessary to recall what management is before
studying of human resource management. Management has been the art
of getting things done through people. The term human resource is quite
popular in India with the institution of ministry of human resources
development in the union cabinet. But most people may not know what
exactly the term human resource means.
The term human resource management can be thought of as the
knowledge, skills, creative abilities, talents and aptitudes of an
organization workforce, as well as the value, attitudes and beliefs of the
individuals involved it can also be explained in the sense that is resource
like any natural resources. It does mean that the management can get and
use the skills, tapping and utilizing them again and again. Thus, it is long-
term perspective where as personnel is a short- term perspective. Human
resources are also regarded as human factor, human asset, human capital
and the like. The terms labor and manpower had been used widely
denoting mostly the physical abilities and capabilities of employees. The
term personnel had been used widely in the employee as a whole but it
does not clearly denote various components of human resources like skill,
knowledge, values.....etc.

MEANING OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT:
Different terms are used to denote human resource management.
They are:-labor management, labor administration, labor management
relations, employee-employer relations, industrial relations, personnel
administration, personnel management and the like. Though these terms
can be differentiated widely the basic nature of distinction lies in the
scope or coverage evolutionary stage.
In simple sense, human resource management means employing
people, developing their resources, utilizing, maintaining and
compensating their services in tune with the job and organizational
requirements.
Definition of HRM:
Personal Management may be defined “as a set of programs
functions and activities designed to maximize both personal and
organizational goals”.
- M.R. Carrell & F.E. Kuzmits
Human Resource Management is “a process consisting of four
functions – acquisition, development, motivation and maintained of human
resources”.
- David A. Decenzo & Stephen P. Robbins
Human resource plays a crucial role in the development process of
modern economics. There are great differences in development between
countries which seem to have roughly equal resources, so it is often felt
that, though the exploitation of natural resources, availability of physical
and financial resources and international aid play prominent roles in the
growth of modern economics.

organizations, training them for the specific task to which they have been
assigned assumed greater importance. Training is an important task in
many organizations. Just equipment needs a breaking period; the new
employee also needs a training period to adjust to the new environment.
Before we go further, it is essential that are define some terms
used about training & development of our common understanding.
The H.R. management function includes variety of activities and
key among them is deciding what staffing needs to have & whether to use
independent contractors or to hire employees ensuring that they are high
performers, dealing with performance issues, and ensuring personnel
management practices confirm to various regulations.
Human resources can be viewed as a sum of attitudes,
commitments, values and the like of the people of an organization.
Development is the acquisition of capabilities that are needed to do the
present job, or the future expected job, Development of human resources,
in order to contribute to the well being of the employees, organizations,

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT:
It is any attempt to improve current or future employee performance
by increasing an employee’s ability to perform through learning, usually
by changing the employee’s attitudes or increasing his or her skills&
knowledge.
The need for training& development is determined by the
employee’s performance deficiency, which as computed as follows.
Training and development need =standard performance-actual
performance.
Since huge sums of money of spent on training and development
how far has been useful must be determined very carefully. Successful
candidates placed on jobs need training to perform their duties
effectively. Workers must be trained to operate machines, reduce scrap
and avoid accidents. It is not only the workers who need the training but
also supervisors, managers and executives also need to be developed in
order to enable them to grow and acquire maturity of thought and action.
Training and development constitute an ongoing process in any
organization.
NATURE OF TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT:
In simple terms, training and development refers to the imparting of specific skills, abilities and knowledge to an employee. Any training and development program must contain inputs which enable the participants to gain skills, learn theoretical concepts &help acquire vision to look into the distant future.
Growth renders stability to the work force. Further, trained employees tend to stay with the organization. They seldom leave the company. Training makes the employees versatile in operations. All rounder’s can be transferred to any job. Flexibility is therefore ensured. Training becomes almost essential when managers or acquisitions take place.

Training and development leads to improved profitability and more
positive attitudes towards profit orientation. It improves morale of work
force, fosters authenticity, openness & trust. It also improves relationship
between boss and subordinate. It also aids in organizational development

PROCESS OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
TRAINING PROCESS:
A training plan essentially involves seven steps as follows:
1)Determining training needs:
The first step in training is to determining what training, if any, is
required. The main task in assessing the training needs of the new
employees is to determine what the job entails and to break it down into
subtasks, each of which is then taught to the new employee. Assessing
the training needs of the current employees can be more complex. Since
there is an added task to decide whether or not training is the solution.
NIET Page 9
1. Determining training needs
2. Establishing training policies
3. Setting goals and objectives of training
4. Preparing the training budget
5. Deciding about the training venue
6. Deciding the methods and techniques to be developed
in training
7. Determining methods of evaluating training
MBA Programme
According to Thayer & McGee Model training needs can be identified
through the following types of analysis:
Organizational analysis: It involves a study of entire organization in
terms of its objective, it resources, resource allocation and utilization,
growth potential and its environment. Its purpose is to determine where
training emphasis should be placed within the organization.
Organizational analysis consists of the following.
i. Analysis of objectives:
This is a study of short term and long term Objectives and the
strategies followed at various levels to meet these objectives. General
objectives need to be translated into specific and operational targets. It is
also necessary to continuously review and revise the objectives in the
lighting of the changing environment.
ii. Resource utilization analysis:
How the various organizational resources viz. financial, physical and
human are put to use is the main focus of this analysis. The contributions
of various departments are also examined by establishing efficiency
includes for each unit. These indices will help to determine the adequacy
of specific work flows as well as contribution of human resources.
iii. Environmental scanning:
In this analysis, the economic, social, political and technological
environment of the organization is examined. This is necessary to identify
the environmental factors which the organization can influence and the
factors which it cannot control.
iv. Organizational climate analysis:
NIET Page 10
MBA Programme
The climate of an organization reflects the employees’ attitudes. It
also represents the managements’ attitude towards the employee
development. Without adequate management support and appropriate
supervisory styles, a training programme cannot be successful. Analysis
of organizational climate can reveal its strengths and weaknesses also.
v. Task or role analysis:
Task analysis is used to determine the training needs of employees
who are new to their jobs. Particularly with lower level workers, it is
common to hire inexperienced personnel and trained them. Here the aim
is to develop the skills and the knowledge required for effective
performance and so the training is usually based on task analysis. This is
a detailed study of the job to determine what specific skills, the job
requires. Job description and job specification are helpful here. These list
the job’s specific duties and skills and provide the basic reference point in
determining the training required for performing the job.
vi. Manpower analysis:
In manpower analysis, the persons to be trained and the changes
required in the knowledge, skills and attitudes of an employee are
determined. There are three issues to resolve in the analysis:
Whether the performance is satisfactory and training is required.
Whether the employee is capable of being trained and the specific
areas in which training is needed.
NIET Page 11
MBA Programme
Whether the training will improve the employee’s performance on
the job.
Other options of training such as modifications in the job or process should also be looked into. Personnel observation, performance reviews, supervisory reports, diagnostic tests help in collecting the required information and select particular training options that try to improve the performance of individual workers.
It needs to be emphasized that all training must be directed towards the satisfaction or group of employees or for individuals.
2) Establishing training policies:
Company’s policies play a vital role in the formulation and designing of a training programme. Every organization should have a well established training policy. Such a policy represents the top managers’ responsibility for training of its employees and comprises rules and procedures governing the standard and scope of training and development.3) Setting Goals and Objectives of Training:
Once specific training needs have been determined and policies
relating thereto established, a stage comes for setting goals and objectives
of training for filling these needs. Broadly speaking, the immediate
objectives of training are help to an employee to improve performance on
his present job. Long range objectives are to guide the qualified man in
preparation for positions involving greater responsibilities.
Major Types of Goals and Objectives. Major types of goals and
objectives of training include:
Organizational objectives:
Mainly concerned with efficiency in organizational
working and outputs such as enhanced sales, reduced costs and improved
productivity.
Performance objectives:
Relate to individual performance in terms of both
efficiency and quality, organization’s effecti9ve performance within
NIET Page 12
MBA Programme
allocated funds also keeping in view the fulfillment of corporate
objectives and amount of benefits derived.
Instructional objectives:
Pertain to the trainees’ grasp and applicability of the
lessons or instructions as received during the learning process, which can
generally be evaluated at the end of the training programme by some sort
of objective sets.
Reaction objectives:
These are primarily subjective in nature. Participants being
very much alive to the learning situation give expression to their feelings
and come out with reaction about the training programmes. This helps
improving programme content and instructional methods.
Personnel Growth objectives:
Indicative of stimulating feelings of self confidences, self competence,
self image and other aspects of self realization.
4) Preparing Training Budget:
Preparation of training budget is specially concerned with the
allocation of funds to be provided for the training for carrying out the
training activities as envisaged in the plan.
5) Deciding about the Training Venue:
The decision about the training venue depends invariably on the
type of training to be given. For in company and on the job training, the
venue naturally is the plant itself. In the case of-off-the job training and
training through external sources, the venue has to be somewhat away
from trainees’ working environments. The venue of the training will be
the place where the outside agency is located.
NIET Page 13
MBA Programme
6) Deciding about the Methods and Techniques to be deployed in
Training:
Broadly speaking, the training methods and techniques vary from
unorganized from working colleagues to more systematic method of
instruction through programmed texts. No wonder, training may range
from highly specified instructions in the procedures to be adopted while
performing a particular job, to very general instructions concerning
economy and society. Factors that generally matter in the selection or
choice of a particular method or technique for training are:
Depth of knowledge, nature of the skills called for in particular jobs to
be filled.
Background of the trainees for assessing their capabilities and
potential and ascertaining their aptitudes.
Various kinds of operative problems confronted by the organization or
for achievement of any other specific organization objectives which
compel them to bring in use particular methods and techniques.
Consideration of facilities by way of cost, time, material, equipments
etc. as available for particular training and particular situation.
Number of persons to be trained and developed.
The essential steps in the executive development programme are as
follows:
1. Analysis of development needs
The first step in the executive development programme is a close
and critical examination of the present and future development needs of
the organization, it should be clear as to how many and what type of
managers are required to meet the present and future requirements. A
critical analysis of the organizational structure in the light of the future
plans will reveal what organizational needs in terms of departments,
NIET Page 14
MBA Programme
functions and key executive positions to know the type of the knowledge,
skills, training and experience required for each position.
2.Appraisal of present managerial talent
After ascertaining the needs of the development, the management
should apprise the talent of its present staff by comparing the actual
performance with the standard performance. How to develop a person can
be judged only by evaluating his performance on various occasions in
performing his managerial duties.
3.Inventory of executive man
An inventory of qualified executive personnel should be prepared
to have complete information about each executive in each position.
For each member of executive team, a card is prepared listing such
data as name, age, length of service, education, work experience,
health record, psychological tests, results and performance appraisal
data etc. the selection of the individuals for a management
development programme is made on the basis of the kind of
background they possess.
1.Individual development programme
On the basis of the performance appraisal of each executive, the chief
executive should identify his strengths and weaknesses. Based on this
information, special programmes for development of executives may be
chalked out.
2. Establishment of training and development programme
NIET Page 15
MBA Programme
The human resource should prepare comprehensive and well
conceived programmes. Accordingly, as for as possible, a systematic
procedure should be introduced for the development of executives. Crash
programmes may be used for the purpose which includes development
programmes in the field of human relations, creativity, leadership
capacity etc.
3. Establishment of development programme
After completion of development programme, its evaluation should be
made, to see whether the objectives of the programme have been
achieved or not and if any, deficiency if any should be rectified.
Programme evaluation will reveal the relevance of the development
programmes and the changes that should be made to take these more
useful to the organizations. General results of the development
programmes can be measured in the long run. But some specific results
may be assessed during the short run.
DESIGNING A TRAINING PROGRAMME:
Once training objectives and policy are decided, an appropriate
training programme can be designed and conducted. The training
programme will consist of the following steps:
1. Responsibility for training:
NIET Page 16
MBA Programme
To be effective, a training programme must be properly organized.
Training is quite a strenuous task which cannot be undertaken by a single
department. The responsibility for training may be shared among the
following:
i. The top management:
Should frame and authorize the basic training policy, review and
approve the training plans and programmes and approve training budgets.
ii. The personnel department:
Should plan, establish and evaluate instructional programmes.
iii. The line supervisor:
Should implement and apply the various developmental plans.
iv. The employees:
Should provide feedback, revision and suggestions for improvements
in the programme.
2.Selection and motivation of trainees:
Proper selection of trainees is of great importance to obtain permanent
and gainful results. It is necessary to decide who are to be trained-new or
old employees, unskilled or semi-skilled workers, supervisors or
executives. Selection of candidates for training should be made only after
careful screening of the prospective employees for the effectiveness of
the programme. It is also necessary to create a desire for learning. The
NIET Page 17
MBA Programme
employees will interest in training if they believe that it will be benefit
them personally.
A trainee should be given proper background information before he
starts learning new job skills and gets knowledge. The trainer should
explain to the trainee the importance of the job, its relationship with the
workflow and the importance of learning. The trainer should not forget
the newness of the trainee to the training programme.
3.Preparation of trainer:
The success of the training programme depends upon the trainer or the
instructor. Trainer must be well qualified and may be obtained from
within or outside the organization. It should be decided before hand what
is to be taught and how. He should be able to divide the job into logical
parts so that he may teach one part at a time without losing his
perspective of the whole.
4.Training material:
Training material may include study notes, case studies, pamphlets,
charts, brochures, manuals, movie slides etc. the material may prepared in
the training section with the help of supervisors. The written material
should be distributed among the trainees so that they may come prepared
in the lecture class and May able to understand the operation quickly and
remove their doubts.
5.Training period:
The length of the training period depends upon the skill of the
trainees, purpose of the training, trainees’ learning capacity and the
training media used. The time of training, whether before or after or
during the working hours, should be decided by the personnel manager
taking in view the loss of production and benefits to be achieved by
training.
NIET Page 18
MBA Programme
6.Performance tryout:
The training is asked to do the job several times slowly. His mistakes
are corrected and if necessary the complicated steps are explained again.
As soon as the trainee demonstrates that he can do the job rightly he is
put on his own and training is over.
7.Follow up:
In this step, the effectiveness of the training programme is
assessed. The feedback generated through follow up will help to reveal
weakness or errors, if any. The supervisor should have a constant vigil on
the person and his performance. If he is still facing any difficulty on the
job, he must be given full guidance by the immediate supervisor and
should be initiated to ask questions to remove the doubts. If necessary,
instruction may be repeated until the trainee learns whatever has been
taught to him. Follow up action reinforces the learning process. It also
helps in designing future training programmes.
Areas of training:
Training enhances the overall performance of an organization in
various ways. Training imparted in one area can benefit the organization
in several areas.
Company policies and procedures:
This is a part of the induction of new employee. The objective is to
oriental new employees with the set of rules, procedures, management,
organizational structure, environment and products which the firm deals
with.
a)Skill based training:
NIET Page 19
MBA Programme
Employee should provide training to match the skill of the job they
perform. Such training helps in improving the employees job
effectiveness, skill based training should also be imparted to enable the
employees adapt to technological changes.
b)Human relations training:
Human resource training is essential to improve the employee’s
skills in the areas of self learning, inter personal skills, group dynamics,
perception, leadership, styles, motivation, disciplinary procedures and
grievance redress.
c)Problem solving training:
Every employee encounters problems in the course of his work in
an organization. These can range from operational problems to major
decision making problems. Training in problem solving skills equips an
employee to deal successfully with such problems.
Benefits of training:
1.Increased job satisfaction and morale among managers.
2.Increased employee motivation.
3.Increased efficiencies in process, resulting in financial gain.
4Increased capacity to adopt new technologies and methods.
5.Increased innovation in strategies and products.
6.Reduced employee turnover.

ON-THE-JOB-TRAINING (OJT):
On the job training is conducted at the work site and in the content
of the job. The major advantage of this method is it is the most effective
method as the trainee learns by experience, making him highly
competent. This is suitable for all levels of employees- workers,
supervisors and executives. This method is also called learning by doing
method.
NIET Page 21
Programmer

MBA Programme
Some of the job training methods are job instruction training,
coaching, job rotation, committee assignments.
Job instruction training:
In this method of training the trainee is given instruction by
the trainee while performing the job on the site and any doubts of the
trainee are cleared immediately. Normally a trainer/ supervisor/ co-
worker act as the instructor. Demonstration by the trainer and repeated
practice by the trainee, help the trainee to master the job. However the
trainer should be available to clear his doubts and help them when ever
required.
Coaching:
The trainee is placed under a particular supervisor, who acts
as a coach in training the individual. The coach guides, supervises and
gives the trainee necessary feedback about his performance and offers
suggestions for improvement.
Job Rotation:
Under this method the trainee moves from one job to
another. This trainee receives job knowledge and gain experience from
his supervisor or trainer in each of the different job assignments. This
method of training is common in training managers for management
positions. Trainees can also be rotated from a job to job in workshop jobs.
This method gives an opportunity to the trainee to understand the
problems of employees on other jobs and respect them.
NIET Page 22
MBA Programme
OFF-THE-JOB-TRAINING:
These methods are designed and intended to impart training by
supplying required knowledge and skills to the employee’s way from the
job and work places.
The various techniques of off-the-job training are classroom
lectures, simulation exercise, programmed instructions, etc,
Case study:
In this method, a real life problem encountered in the
organization is presented to the trainees in the form of a
case study. They will be asked to analyses the case and
present their views and recommendations for solving the
problem. Case study can provide excellent opportunities
for individuals to defend their analytical and judgmental
abilities.
Role playing:
Role playing is described as a method of human interactions
involving realistic behavior in imaginary situation. This method generally
focuses on emotional issues rather than actual ones. This method helps in
improving the communication, people- management and relationship-
managerial skills of the trainees.
NIET Page 23
MBA Programme
Simulation exercise:
In this method the trainee is exposed to an artificial work
situation that closely resembles the actual work situation. The simulation
exercises are case studies, computer modeling and role playing etc.
Computer modeling:
It is a technique where by the dimensions of the job are
programmed in to a computer working with the computer working with
the computer model allows direct learning to take place. In this method
the trainee gains real time experience by working on computer.
Programmed instructions:
In this method of training the trainee is given a series of
questions after he studies the relevant material required for
accomplishment of the job.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
The term training has been traditionally used to describe the
acquisition of technical knowledge and skills. Management development
refers to the methods and activities designed to improve the skills of
managers or prospective managers.
NIET Page 24
MBA Programme
Management development activities mainly focus on a broad range
of skills while training programs concentrate on a limited number of
technical skills. For ex: training program for a software developer
involves enhancing their technical skills, where as a development
program would involve in wide variety of interpersonal skills and
managerial skills, like planning, organizing, leading, communication,
motivating and decision making.
Management development
Management development is a systematic and continuous process
of improving the performance and potential of managers. It helps in the
managerial skills and people management skills of managers.
Management development is a key component of the organization is
efforts to prepare its employees to successfully handle new challenges.
On-the-job- development methods
Management development methods which help employees to
improve their skills in actual work environment during the course of
their work are termed as on-the-job- development methods. The
methods are coaching, job rotation, under study assignments and
multiple management.
Coaching:
Coaching involves one manager playing an active role in
guiding another manager. The coach observes, analysis, attempts to
improve the performance of the trainee. The coach gives guidance in the
form of direction, advice, criticism and suggestions. It provides guidance
to the employees or all job related areas.
Job Rotation:
NIET Page 25
MBA Programme
Job rotation involves movement or transfer of executives
from one position or job to another on some planned basis. The persons
are moved from one managerial position to another. This method
facilitates interdepartmental co-operation and co-ordination.
Understudy assignments:
The understudy assignments involve a discussion of
both daily operating problems and long term strategic issues with the
senior manager. The trainee manager learns the managerial skills required
for that position. The trainee manager can take up responsibilities of the
senior manager either temporarily or permanently, depending on the
organization needs.
Multiple Management:
Multiple management technique is also called “junior-
board of executive system”. Under this system a junior board of young
executives is constituted. Major problems area analyzed in the junior
board which makes recommendations to the board of directors. The
young executives learn decision making skills and the board of directors
receives wisdom of the executive team. Vacancies in the board of
directors can be filled from the junior board members, who have received
considerable exposure to problems and issues. This technique helps the
members to have the opportunity to acquire the knowledge of various
aspects of business.
Project assignments:
Under this method a number of trainee executive are
put together to work on a project directly to their functional area. The
group called “project tem” will study the problems and find appropriate
NIET Page 26
MBA Programme
solutions. For instance accounts officers may be assigned the task of
designing and developing an effective budgetary control system. By
working on this project, the trainees learn work procedures and
techniques of budgeting. This is flexible training device due to temporary
nature of assignments.
Off-the-job development methods
Off-the-job training means training is not a part of every day job
activity. In these methods the executives have to leave their work place or
office and devote their entire time to the development objective.
Simulation exercise:
Simulations are widely used by the management development.
The popularly used simulation exercises are case studies, business
games, role plays, the incident method and the in-basket method.
Case study:
Case study method is an excellent medium for developing
analytical skill. Under this method a real or hypothetical business
problems or situations demanding solution is presented in writing to
trainees. The trainees are required to identify and analyze the problems,
suggest and evaluate alternative coerces of action and choose the most
appropriate solution. By this method the trainees become aware of
managerial concepts and their application to specific situation.
Business games:
In this method the trainees are divided into different groups
or teams. They play the roles of competing firm in a simulated market. In
this each team studies, discuss and arrives at decisions regarding
production, advertising, pricing etc. this method improves interaction
and co-operation among the participants.
Role playing:
NIET Page 27
MBA Programme
In this method, participants enact roles to solve problems that
are common in real life situation. Role playing helps to participant to
gain better understanding of people and business situations. It helps to
improve human relation skills through direct experience and practice.
Incident method:
In this method incidents are prepared on the basis of actual situations which happened in various organizations. Each employee in the training group is asked to study the incident and to make short-term decision in the role of a person who has a cope with the incident in actual situation. Later the group studies and discusses the incident and takes decisions relating to incident based on group interaction and decision taken by each member. This method aims to develop the trainees in the areas of intellectual ability, practical judgment and social awareness.
In basket method:
\ in this method each trainee provided with basket or tray of papers and files related to his functional area. He is expected to carefully study these and make his own recommendations on the problem situation. Later the recommendations or observations of different trainees are compared and conclusions are arrived at. These are put down in the form of report. For this purpose, such teaching methods, role playing methods are used.
Sensitivity training:
This is method of changing individual behavior through unstructured group interactions. The main objective of training is to develop among the group members an understanding of themselves and their relationship with others.
In this method a group of 10-15 employees assemble in an unstructured manner. A major limitation of sensitivity training is that it does not directly deal with business and financial goals. It also results in
NIET Page 28
MBA Programme
lot of emotional involvement by trainee: it may result in psychological strain or disturbances. Hence it requires an experienced trainer, preferably psychologist.
Conference:
A meeting of people to discuss a topic of common interest is
referred to as a conference. The conference leader plays a key role in this
method of management development.
Lectures:
A lecture is a simplest technique of presenting and
explaining a series of facts, principles and concepts. The lecture organizes
the relevant information and presents it to the trainees in the form of
lecture. It helps the managers to acquire knowledge and develop their
conceptual and analytical skills. These are direct means of
communication and can be used effectively for a large number of people.
NEED FOR THE STUDY:
Training and development can be initiated for a variety of reasons
for an employee or group of employees.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
NIET Page 36
MBA Programme
Cotton is a soft, staple fiber that grows around the seeds of the
cotton plant. It is a natural fiber harvested from the cotton plant. The fiber
most often is spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft, breathable
textile, which is the most widely used natural-fiber cloth in clothing
today.
Processing of Cotton in India
In India the raw cotton, also called as Kapas is processed in
a multi-stage process described as below. The Products of processing are
I. Yarn.
II. Cottonseed Oil.
III. Cottonseed Meal.
I. Production of Yarn
KAPAS TO LINT: Kapas (also known as raw cotton or seed
cotton) is unginned cotton or the white fibrous substance covering the
seed that is obtained from the cotton plant. The first step in the process is,
the cotton is vacuumed into tubes that carry it to a dryer to reduce
moisture and improve the fiber quality. Then it runs through cleaning
equipment to remove leaf trash, sticks and other foreign matter. In
ginning a roller gin is used to grab the fiber. The raw fiber, now called
lint.
LINT TO BALE: The lint makes its way through another series of
pipes to a press where it is compressed into bales (lint packaged for
market). After baling, the cotton lint is hauled to either storage yards,
textile mills, or shipped to foreign countries.
NOTE: The cotton seed is delivered to a seed storage area from
where it is loaded into trucks and transported to a cottonseed oil mill.
NIET Page 37
MBA Programme
BALE TO LAP: Here the bales are broken down and a worker
feeds the cotton into a machine called a "breaker" which gets rid of some
of the dirt. From here the cotton goes to a "scutcher". (Operated by a
worker also called a scutcher). This machine cleans the cotton of any
remaining dirt and separates the fibers. The cotton emerges in the form of
thin "blanket" called the "lap".
LAP TO CARDING: Carding is the process of pulling the fibers
into parallel alignment to form a thin web. High speed electronic
equipment with wire toothed rollers perform this task. The web of fibers
is eventually condensed into a continuous, untwisted, rope-like strand
called a sliver.
SLIVER TO ROVING: The silver is then sent to combing
machine. Here, the fibers shorter than half-inch and impurities are
removed from the cotton. The sliver is drawn out to a thinner strand and
given a slight twist to improve strength, then wound on bobbins. These
Processes is called Roving.
ROVING TO YARN (SPINNING) : Spinning is the last process
in yarn manufacturing. Spinning draws out the short fibres from the mass
of cotton and twists them together into a long. Spinning machines have a
metal spike called a spindle which the thread winds around.
II. Production of Cotton Seed Oil
Processing of cottonseed in modern mills involves a number of steps.
They are as follows:
NIET Page 38
MBA Programme
The first step is its entry into the shaker room where, through a
number of screens and air equipment, twigs, leaves and other trash
are removed.
The cleaned seed is then sent to gin stands where the linters are
removed from the seed (delinted). The linters of the highest grade,
referred to as first-cut linters are used in manufacturing non-
chemical products, such as medical supplies, twine, and candle
wicks. The second-cut linters removed in further delinting steps,
are incorporated in chemical products, found in various foods,
toiletries, film, and paper.
The delinted seeds now go to the huller. The huller removes the
tough seed coat with a series of knives and shakers. The knives
cut the hulls (tough outer shell of the seed) to loosen them from
the kernels (the inside meat of the seed, rich in oil) and shakers
separate the hulls and kernels.
The kernels are now ready for oil extraction. They pass through
flaking rollers made of heavy cast iron, spinning at high speeds.
These flakes then travel to a cooker where they are cooked at 170
degrees F to reduce their moisture levels. The prepared meats are
conveyed to the extractor and washed with hexane (organic solvent
that dissolves out the oil) removing up to 98% of the oil.
The refined cotton seed oil has several advantages other than edible
oils. It contains mere advantage over other edible oils. It contains a
NIET Page 39
MBA Programme
large percentage of Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) which
maintain cholesterol in the blood at a healthy level.
III. Production of Cotton seed Meal/Cake/Kapaskhalli
Kapaskhalli (cottonseed extraction/meal) is a byproduct of the
cottonseed industry.
Cottonseed is a by-product of the cotton plant, which is primarily
grown for its fiber. Although cotton has been grown for its fiber for
several thousand years, the use of cottonseed on a commercial
scale is of relatively recent origin.
Cottonseed was a raw agricultural product, which was once largely
wasted. Now it is being converted into food for people; feed for
livestock; fertilizer and mulch for plants

Cotton Varieties in India
Bengal Deshi mainly produced in the states of Punjab, Haryana,
Rajasthan.
Jayadhar mainly produced in the state of Karnataka.
Bunny (or) Brahma is mainly produced in the states of
Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka.
Suvin is another variety produced in the state of Tamil Nadu.
Role of Cotton Industry in Indian Economy
Over the years, country has achieved significant quantitative
increase in cotton production. Till 1970s, country used to import massive
quantities of cotton in the range of 8.00 to 9.00 lakh bales per annum.
However, after Government launched special schemes like intensive
cotton production programmes through successive five-year plans, that
cotton production received the necessary impetus through increase in area
and sowing of Hybrid varieties around mid 70s.
Cotton production Areas in India
India is an important grower of cotton on a global scale. It
ranks third in global cotton production after the United States and China;
NIET Page 41
MBA Programme
with 9.50 million hectares grown each year, India accounts for
approximately 21% of the world's total cotton area and 13% of global
cotton production. The Cotton producing areas in India are spread
throughout the country. But the major cotton producing states which
account for more than 95% of the area under and output are:
1. Punjab.
2. Haryana.
3. Rajasthan.
4. Maharastra.
5. Gujarat.
6. Madhya Pradesh.
7. Andhra Pradesh.
8. Tamil Nadu.
9. Karnataka.
Of the nine cotton producing States in India, average yields
are highest in Punjab where most of the cotton area is irrigated.
Contribution of Cotton industry for Textile Industry
Cotton is the most important raw material for India's Rs.
1,50,000 crores textile industry, which accounts for nearly 20% of the
total national industrial production. The cotton Industry is the backbone
of our textile industry, accounting for 70% of total fiber consumption in
textile sector. It also accounts for more than 30% of exports, making it
India's largest net foreign exchange industry. India earns foreign
exchange to the tune of $10-12 billion annually from exports of cotton
yarn, thread, fabrics, apparel and made-ups.
NIET Page 42
MBA Programme
The cotton Industry provides employment to over 15 million
people. And the area under cotton cultivation in India (9.5 million ha) is
the highest in the world, i.e., 25% of the world area.
Steps taken by the Cotton Producers in India
Now-a-days the Indian Cotton producers are continuously
working to up-grade the quality and increase the cotton production to
cope up with the increased global demand for cotton textiles and to meet
the needs of the 39 million spindles capacity of the domestic textile
industry which presently consumes about 12-14 million bales annually.
In India, cotton yields increased significantly in the 1980’s
and through the first half of 1980’s but since 1996 there is no increase in
yield. Besides low yield, Indian cotton also suffers from inconsistent
quality in terms of length, micronaire and strength.
Policy of Government of India towards Cotton Industry
The Cotton production policies in India historically have
been oriented toward promoting and supporting the textile industry. The
Government Of India announces a minimum support price for each
variety of seed cotton (kapas) based on recommendations from the
Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices. The Government Of India
is also providing subsidies to the production inputs of the cotton in the
areas of fertilizer, power, etc…
NIET Page 43

Markets for Indian Cotton
The three major groups in the cotton market are
Private traders,
State-level cooperatives,
The Cotton Corporation of India Limited.
Exports of Cotton
The main market for Indian cotton export is China. The
other markets also include Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey. In July 2001,
the union government removed all curbs on cotton exports. India
exported around 25 per cent cotton during 2006-07 and it is estimated
nearly 62 per cent exported to China.
During the year 2006-07 the prices of Indian cotton in early
part of the season being lower than the international prices, had been
attractive to foreign buyers and there was good demand for Indian cotton,
especially S-6, H-4 and Bunny, which had resulted in sustained cotton
exports, which are estimated at 55.00 lakh bales
The Cotton Advisory Board estimated an 18-20 percent
increase in cotton exports to 65 lakh bales for Oct 2007- Sep 2008, as
against its Aug 2007 estimate of 58 lakh bales.
Imports of Cotton
India imported just 721,000 bales of cotton in 2003-04. The
imports rose to 1,217,000 lakh bales in 2004-05, 4,700,000 lakh bales in
2005-06 and the anticipated imports for the year 2006-07 are 550,000
lakh bales.
For the year 2006-07 the cotton imports into the country had
once again remained limited mainly to Extra Long staple cottons, like as
previous year, which were in short supply at around 6 lakh bales inclusive
of import of around 2 lakh bales of long staple varieties contracted by
mills during April-May 2007.
NIET Page 44
MBA Programme
Role of Cotton seed oil in Indian Economy
The global production of cottonseed oil in the recent years
has been at around 4-4.5 million tons. Around 2 lakh tons are traded
globally every year. The major seed producers, viz., China, India, United
States, Pakistan are the major producers of oil. United States (60000 tons)
is the major exporter of cottonseed oil, while Canada is the major
importer.
Cottonseed is a traditional oilseed of India. In India the
average production of cotton oil is around 4 lakh tons a year. It is
estimated that, if scientific processing is carried out the oil production can
be increased by another 4 lakh tons.
India used to import around 30000 tons of crude cottonseed
oil, before palm and soyoil became the only imports of the country.
Currently, the country does not import cottonseed oil.
Role of cotton seed meal in Indian Economy
India produces around 2 million tons of cottonseed meal a
year. However, in India mainly undecorticated meal is largely produced.
Several associations are promoting the production of decorticated cake in
India and the production of this is expected to increase in the country.
The major importers of Indian cottonseed meal
(undecorticated) used to be Thailand. India in 2002-03 exported only 50
tons of decorticated cottonseed meal. In 2003-04, too there have been no
significant exports. India does not import cottonseed meal.

II. Cotton Advisory Board.,
III. Cotton Association of India.
IV. Central Institute of Cotton Research.
The Current Scenario of Cotton Industry (2007-08)
The cotton production in the country has been increasing
continuously since last three years and the same has further gone up by
around 11% during cotton season 2007-08 at a record level of 270 lakh
bales as against 244 lakh bales during 2006-07. Gujarat has turned into a
largest cotton producing State with a record production-level of 93 lakh
bales constituting around 34% of the country’s total production. The area
under cotton cultivation during 2007-08 has also gone up by around 6%
at 91.58 lakh hectares as against 86.77 lakh hectares during 2006-07.
With wide usage of hybrid seeds throughout the country as
well as changed mindset of cotton farmers for adoption of better and
improved farm practices, the average productivity of cotton has crossed
503 kgs per hectare as against 478 kgs during the previous year. The
prices of Indian cotton in early part of the season being lower than the
international prices, had been attractive to foreign buyers and there was
good demand for Indian cotton.
Due to expectation of bumper crop, the mill demand in the
beginning of the season was subdued which put pressure on the cotton
prices right from the beginning of the season and has resulted into fall in
cotton prices between October 2007 & January 2008.
Cotton prices reached its peak level by end-March 2008 and
there was some correction in cotton prices in April and May 2007.
However, on the whole, cotton prices remained better by almost Rs.1000
per candy in almost all varieties as compared to previous year.
NIET Page 46
MBA Programme
Future of Cotton Industry in India
The Cotton Advisory Board (CAB) has estimated the cotton
crop at 310 lakh bales for the current season 2007-08. This is a historic
high and represents a 11% jump over last year's crop estimate of 280 lakh
bales. The increase in cotton production area is also expected to increase
to 95.30 lakh hectares for the season 2007-08 against 91.42 lakh hectares
for the season 2006-07.
Cotton Advisory Board expects exports to be higher at 65
lakh bales as against 55 lakh bales in 2006-07. Imports in 2007-08 are
projected at 6.50 lakh bales as compared to 5.50 lakh bales in 2006-07,
because mills have to rely on foreign growths to spin some finer counts of
yarn.It is also estimated that the cotton industry is going to provide 12
million new jobs mainly for the semi-skilled and unskilled labour.
Future Challenges for the Indian Cotton Industry
The challenges that are going to face by the cotton producers
in India for the season 2007-08 are:
Rupee appreciation
The increase in the value of the rupee gives only smaller
import orders to the cotton producers.
Cheaper Imports
The appreciated rupee value makes the cotton imports
cheaper when compared to past. So this aspect is also required to consider
by the cotton producers.
Low quality
The Quality of cotton is also far from satisfactory
considering the presence of a large number of contaminants. So the cotton
producers are also required to take care in this aspect.
