INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY
In the year 1946 the first milk union was established. This
union was started with 250 liters of milk per day. In the year 1955
AMUL was established. In the year 1946 the union was known asKAIRA DISTRICT CO-OPERATIVE MILK PRODUCERS’ UNION.
This union selected the brand name AMUL in 1955.
The brand name Amul means “AMULYA”. This word derived
form the Sanskrit word “AMULYA” which means
“PRICELESS”. A quality control expert in Anand had suggested the
brand name “AMUL”. Amul products have been in use in millions of homes since 1946. Amul Butter, Amul Milk Powder, Amul Ghee,
Amulspray, Amul Cheese, Amul Chocolates, Amul Shrikhand, Amul
Ice cream, Nutramul, Amul Milk and Amulya have made Amul a
leading food brand in India. (The total sale is Rs. 6 billion in 2005).
Today Amul is a symbol of many things like of the high-quality
products sold at reasonable prices, of the genesis of a vast co-
operative network, of the triumph of indigenous technology, of the
marketing savvy of a farmers' organization. And have a provenmodel for dairy development (Generally known as “ANAND
PATTERN”).
In the early 40’s, the main sources of earning for the farmers of
Kaira district were farming and selling of milk. That time there was
high demand for milk in Bombay. The main supplier of the milk was
Polson dairy limited, which was a privately owned company and
held monopoly over the supply of milk at Bombay from the Kaira
district. This system leads to exploitation of poor and illiterates’
farmers by the private traders. The traders used to beside the prices
of milk and the farmers were forced to accept it without uttering a
single word.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/amul-thetasteofindia 10/57
However, when the exploitation became intolerable, the
farmers were frustrated. They collectively appealed to Sardar
Vallabhbhai Patel, who was a leading activist in the freedom
movement. Sardar Patel advised the farmers to sell the milk on their
own by establishing a co-operative union, Instead of supplying milkto private traders. Sardar Patel sent the farmers to Shri Morarji
Desai in order to gain his co-operation and help. Shri Desai held a
meeting at Samarkha village near Anand, on 4th January 1946. He
advised the farmers to form a society for collection of the milk.
These village societies would collect the milk themselves and
would decide the prices at which they can sell the milk. The district
union was also form to collect the milk from such village co-
operative societies and to sell them. It was also resolved that the
Government should be asked to buy milk from the union.
10
8/7/2019 Amul the+Taste+of+India
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/amul-thetasteofindia 11/57
However, the govt. did not seem to help farmers by any means.
It gave the negative response by turning down the demand for the
milk. To respond to this action of govt., the farmers of Kaira district
went on a milk strike. For 15 whole days not a single drop of milk
was sold to the traders. As a result the Bombay milk scheme was
severely affected. The milk commissioner of Bombay then visitedAnand to assess the situation. Having seemed the condition, he
decided to fulfill the farmers demand.
Thus their cooperative unions were forced at the village and
district level to collect and sell milk on a cooperative basis, without
the intervention of Government. Mr. Verghese Kurien showed
main interest in establishing union who was supported by Shri
Tribhuvandas Patel who lead the farmers in forming the Co-
operative unions at the village level. The Kaira district milk
producers union was thus established in ANAND and was registered
formally on 14th December 1946. Since farmers sold all the milk in
Anand through a co-operative union, it was commonly resolved to
sell the milk under the brand name AMUL.
At
the
11
8/7/2019 Amul the+Taste+of+India
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/amul-thetasteofindia 12/57
initial stage only 250 liters of milk was collected everyday. But with
the growing awareness of the benefits of the cooperativeness, the
collection of milk increased. Today Amul collect 11 lakhs liters of
milk everyday. Since milk was a perishable commodity it becomes
difficult to preserve milk flora longer period. Besides when the milk
was to be collected from the far places, there was a fear of spoilingof milk. To overcome this problem the union thought out to develop
the chilling unit at various junctions, which would collect the milk
and could chill it, so as to preserve it for a longer period. Thus, today
Amul has more than 150 chilling centers in various villages. Milk is
collected from almost 1073 societies.
With the financial help from UNICEF, assistance from the govt.of New Zealand under the Colombo plan, of Rs. 50 millions for
factory to manufacture milk powder and butter was planned.
Dr.Rajendra Prasad, the president of India laid the foundation on
November 15, 1954. Shri Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the prime
minister of India declared it open at Amul dairy on November 20,
1955.

PEOPLE POWER: AMUL'S SECRET OF SUCCESS
The system succeeded mainly because it provides an assured
market at remunerative prices for producers' milk besides acting as
a channel to market the production enhancement package. What's
more, it does not disturb the agro-system of the farmers. It also
enables the consumer an access to high quality milk and milk
products. Contrary to the traditional system, when the profit of the
business was cornered by the middlemen, the system ensured that
the profit goes to the participants for their socio-economic
upliftment and common good.
Looking back on the path traversed by Amul, the following features
make it a pattern and model for emulation elsewhere.
Amul has been able to:
• Produce an appropriate blend of the policy makers farmers
board of management and the professionals: each groupappreciating its rotes and limitations,
• Bring at the command of the rural milk producers the best of
the technology and harness its fruit for betterment.
13
8/7/2019 Amul the+Taste+of+India
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/amul-thetasteofindia 14/57
• Provide a support system to the milk producers without
disturbing their agro-economic systems,
• Plough back the profits, by prudent use of men, material and
machines, in the rural sector for the common good and
betterment of the member producers and
• Even though, growing with time and on scale, it has remained
with the smallest producer members. In that sense. Amul is an
example par excellence, of an intervention for rural change.
The Union looks after policy formulation, processing and marketing
of milk, provision of technical inputs to enhance milk yield of
animals, the artificial insemination service, veterinary care, better
feeds and the like - all through the village societies. Basically the
union and cooperation of people brought Amul into fame i.e. AMUL
(ANAND MILK UNION LIMITED), a name which suggest THE
TASTE OF INDIA.

MARKETING RESEARCH
Marketing research plays an important role in the process of marketing. Starting with market component of the total marketingtalks. It helps the firm to acquire a better understanding of theconsumers, the competition and the marketing environment.
DEFINITION
“Marketing research is a systematic gathering, recording andanalysis marketing problem to facilitate decision making.”
- Coundiff & Still.
“Marketing research is a systematic problem analysis, modelbuilding and fact finding for the purpose of important decisionmaking and control in the marketing of goods and services.
- Phillip Kotler.
MAIN STEPS INVOLVED IN MARKETING RESEARCH
Defining the Marketing Problem to be tackled and identifying themarket research problem involved in the task.
(1) Define the problem and its objectives.(2) Identify the problem.(3) Determine the information needed.(4) Determine the sources of information.(5) Decide research methods.(6) Tabulate, Analyze and interpret the data.(7) Prepare research report.(8) Follow-up the study.
19

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/amul-thetasteofindia 20/57
(1) Define the problem and its objectives :- Thisincludes an effective job in planning and designing aresearch project that will provide the needed information. Italso includes the establishment of a general framework of
major marketing elements such as the industry elements,competitive elements, marketing elements and companyelements.
(2) Identify the problem :- Identifying the probleminvolves getting acquainted with the company, its business,its products and market environment, advertising by meansof library consultation and extensive interviewing of company’s officials.
(3) Determining the specific Information needed :-In general the producer, the manufacturer, the wholesalerand the retailer try to find out four things namely :-
(1) What to sell(2) When to sell(3) Where to sell(4) How to sell
(4) Determine the sources of information :-
(a) Primary Data :- Primary datas are those whichare gathered specially for the project at hand,directly – e.g. through questionnaires &interviews. Primary data sources includecompany salesman, middleman, consumers,buyers, trade association’s executives & otherbusinessman & even competitors.
(b) Secondary Data :- These are generallypublished sources, which have been collectedoriginally for some other purpose. Source areinternal company records, governmentpublication, reports & publication, reports &
journals, trade, professional and businessassociations publications & reports.
20
8/7/2019 Amul the+Taste+of+India
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/amul-thetasteofindia 21/57
(4) Decide Research methods for collecting data :-If it is
found that the secondary data cannot be of much use,collection of
primary data become necessary. Three widely used methodsof
gathering primary data are
A) SurveyB) ObservationC) Experimentation
A) Survey Method :- In this method, information gathereddirectly from individual respondents, either through personalinterviews or through mail questionnaires or telephone interviews.
B) Observation Method :- The research data are gatheredthrough observing and recording their actions in a marketingsituation. This technique is highly accurate. It is rather an expensivetechnique.
C) Experimental Method :- This method involves carryingout a small scale trial solution to a problem, while at the same time,attempting to control all factors relevant to the problem. The mainassumption here is that the test conditions are essentially the sameas those that will be encountered later when conclusions derivedfrom the experiment are applied to a broader marketing area.
D) The Panel Research :- In this technique the same group
of respondents is contacted for more then one occasion; and theinformation obtained to find out if there has been any in their tastedemand or they want any special quality, color, size, packing in theproduct.

24
8/7/2019 Amul the+Taste+of+India
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/amul-thetasteofindia 25/57
3. Information requirement
• First, I had to know about all the competitors present in the
chocolate
segment (Reputed and well established brands as well as Local
brands).
• Before going for the survey I had to know the comparative
packs and
prices of all the competitors existing in the market.
• Since chocolate is a product that attracts children and
youngsters hence I had to trace the market and segment it,
which mainly deals with people of various age groups.
• As chocolate is different product, the main information needed
is the various types of chocolates available in the market, their
calorific value and various other facts. They can be termed as :
25
8/7/2019 Amul the+Taste+of+India
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/amul-thetasteofindia 26/57
• As Amul chocolate advertisements are mainly done throughhoardings but on television the advertisement is beingtelecasted timely and on the proper time or not.
AMUL CHOCOLATE is made from Sugar, Cocoa Butter, MilkSolids,
Chocolate mass.
26
8/7/2019 Amul the+Taste+of+India

Composition:
• Milk Fat 2%
• Sugar 55%
• Total Fat 32.33%
(Milk Fat + Cocoa Fat)
• Cocoa Solids 7.5%
• Milk Solids 20%
4. Choice of research design – alternatives & choice
Despite the difficulty of establishing an entirely satisfactoryclassification system, it is helpful to classify marketing research onthe basis of the fundamental objectives of the research.Consideration of the different types, their applicability, theirstrengths, and their weakness will help the student to select thetype best suited to a specific problem.
The two general types of research are:
EXPLORATORY RESEARCH
Exploratory research seeks to discover new relationship, emphasison discovery of ideas.
Marketing researches devote a significant portion of their work on
exploratory studies when very little is known about the problembeing examined.
CONCLUSIVE RESEARCH
27
8/7/2019 Amul the+Taste+of+India
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/amul-thetasteofindia 28/57
Conclusive studies attempts to determine the frequency with whichsomething occurs or the relationship between two phenomenons.Usually conclusive studies assume certain under underlyingcharacteristics of the market or have some precise statement of research questions/hypothesis.
5. RESEARCH INSTRUMENT USED - DETAILS & WHY?
If one wants to know what type of dentifrice people use, what theythink of, television commercials, or why they buy particular brandsof cars, the natural procedure is to ask them. Thus, thequestionnaire method has come to be the more widely used of thetwo data collection method. Many consumers are now familiar withthe telephone caller who greets them with “We are making asurvey”, and then proceeds to ask a series of questions. Some
interviews are conducted in person, others by telephone, and othersby mail. Each of these has its special advantages and disadvantagesand limitations. The questionnaire method in general, however, hasa number of pervasive advantages and disadvantages. Discussion of particular variations will be more meaningful if these characteristicsof the general methods are brought out first.
A questionnaire consists of list of questions to be asked from therespondents and the space provided to record the answer /
responses. Questionnaire can be used for the personal interviews,focus groups, mails and telephonic interviews. The choice amongthese alternatives is largely determined by the type of informationto be obtained and by the type of respondents from whom it is to beobtained.
The common factor in all varieties of the questionnaire method isthis reliance on verbal responses to question, written or oral.
28
8/7/2019 Amul the+Taste+of+India
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/amul-thetasteofindia 29/57
Questionnaire in the project consists of:
Multiple choice questions
Dicthomus
MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS:
Questions of this type offer the respondents an alternative to choosethe right answer among others. It is faster, time saving and lessbiased. It also simplifies the tabulating process.
OPEN END QUESTIONS:
In this type respondents are free to answer in their own words andexpress the ideas they think are relevant, such questions are goodas first questions or opening questions. They introduce the subjectand obtain general reaction.
DICTHOMUS:
These are the questions which are Boolean in nature. These answersare straightforward and respondents have to answer them in astraight way. That means the answer can only be either ‘Yes” or ‘No’.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/amul-thetasteofindia 30/57
6. SAMPLING TECHNIQUE USED & SAMPLE SIZE - WHY?
Sample design is a definite plan of obtaining some items from thewhole population. The sample design used in this project is two statesampling i.e. Cluster and convenience. In the probability sampling
methods, each items in the sample is chosen one at a time from acomplete list of universe elements. In marketing research practice, itwill sometimes be more expedient to select clusters or groups of universe elements, rather than to choose sample items individually.
Sampling methods in which universe elements are chosen in groups---- rather than individually -- are called cluster-sampling methods.
They are widely used in the sampling of human populations. Whenno complete universe listing exists, a type of sampling is called area
sampling may be the only practically feasible form of probabilitysampling.
NONDISGUISED, STRUCTURED TECHNIQUES
30
8/7/2019 Amul the+Taste+of+India
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/amul-thetasteofindia 31/57
The non structured techniques for attitude measurement areprimarily of value in exploratory studies, where the researcher islooking for the salient attributes of given products and the importantfactors surrounding purchase decisions as seen by the consumer.Structured techniques can provide a more objective measurement
system, one which is more comparable to a scale or a yardstick. Theterm scaling has been applied to the efforts to measure attitudesobjectively, and a number of useful scales have been developed.
SAMPLING METHODS
Sample design is a definite plan of obtaining some items from thewhole population. The sample design used in this project is two state
sampling i.e. cluster sampling and convenience sampling. The wholecity was divided into some geographical areas and I have chosenMemnagar, Ashram road, Sattelite, Bopal, Bodekdev,Vastrapur, Navrangpura, Usmanpura, Maninagar andNarayanpura. The total sample size was 200.
CLUSTER SAMPLING
Here the whole area is divided into some geographical area and adefinite number of consumers were to be surveyed.
CONVINIENCE SAMPLING
31
8/7/2019 Amul the+Taste+of+India
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/amul-thetasteofindia 32/57
This type of sampling is chosen purely on the basis of convenienceand according to convenience.I visited Garden, Parks, Temple,Superstores, Theatres and Gymnasium.

FIELD WORK- METHOD USED FOR DATA COLLECTION
• Questionnaire was prepared keeping the objective of researchin mind.
• Questions were asked to respondents as regards to therewillingness to purchase Chocolates.
• The help of questionnaires conducted direct interviews, in orderto get accurate information.
• In order to get correct information I had to approach consumersranging from 15 yrs to 65 yrs.
33

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/amul-thetasteofindia 34/57
• I visited as many respondents as I can and asked them theirreal likings about any chocolate and also got an idea, How achocolate should be?
• It is really a Herculean task to understand ConsumerBehaviour, as the definition suggest, “Consumer behaviour
is a physical activity as well as decision processindividual engaged in when evaluating, acquiring, usingand disposing goods and services”.
• In order to collect accurate information I visited to Garden,Parks, Temple, Superstores, Theatres and Gymnasium,each and every question was filled personally by therespondents and checked properly.
•
People were not willing to answer, when they were contactedbetween 1.00 pm to 5.00 pm, the time when most of thepeople take rest during the scorching heat.

Limited time available for interviewing the respondents. As aresult of this it was not possible to gather full information aboutthe respondents.
When I interviewed children and teenagers, sometimes they
use togive answers under the influence of their parents or elders.
As summer training is going under summer season sosometimespeople are less interested in filling up questionnaire.
Sometimes the problem which I face is language problem forwhich I have to make them understand.
Non-cooperative approach and rude behavior of therespondents.
If the respondents answer does not falls between amongst the
options given then it will turn up to be a biased answer.

MY FINDINGS
During the survey it was found that still there are 10% people
who have not tasted Amul Chocolate.
Lake of Awareness in consumers. Many people are not knowabout Amul chocolates specially children and teenagers.
As I found that the main product of Amul is Milk andcompany firstly wants to capture maximum market share inmilk market which is approx. 66%, after it Amul isconcentrating upon butter & cheese which has market share of approx. 88%, so it is not concentrating upon chocolates.
When I interviewed people then many of the people can notrecall Amul chocolate advertisement. It shows Lake of Advertisement or advertisement is not timely given oradvertisement is not given on right time.
In its advertisement is not using any brand ambassadorwhich attracts all age group people like Cadbury.
There is lake of Sales Promotional Activities i.e. free tattoo,extra weight, toys, quiz contest etc.
Cadbury is main competitor and strategically better performerthen Amul.
I find the main thing is that “Amul” brand name has very goodimage in consumer’s mind and they consider it as Pure &Good Product.
People who have tasted Amul Chocolate are not ready topurchase the same again.
SUGGESTIONS49
8/7/2019 Amul the+Taste+of+India
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/amul-thetasteofindia 50/57
In order to maintain and increase the sales in the city of Ahmedabad, the following recommendations regarding AmulChocolates; particularly regarding advertisement, distribution,promotional policies, etc, are hereby suggested:
First and foremost Amul should take proper action in order toimprove service, because although being on a top slot inButter and milk supplies it does not get the sales in chocolate,which it should get.
Company should use brand ambassador which attracts eachage segment i.e. Saniya Mirza, Shaktimaan, Amitabh Bacchan,Superman, Krrish, Jadoo etc.
Amul should give local advertisements apart from theadvertisements given at the national level. Local advertisementmust mention the exclusive Amul shops of the city.
Try and change the perception of the people through word of mouth about Amul in advertisements, because they are the
best source to reach Children and families.
Though Amul chocolate advertisements are rarely shown ontelevision yet many people could recall it as per the data of research. It shows that there is only need to give advertisementonly to rememorize customers. Because Amul is very strongbrand name.
Company should launch chocolate in new attractive packing
to change image of Amul chocolate in consumers mind.
Company should introduce sales promotion schemes likefree weight, pranky, tattoo, contest, free gifts etc.

CONCLUSION

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/amul-thetasteofindia 52/57
As we know that Amul is very big organization andmarket leader in dairy products. It has maximum market share inMilk, Butter and Cheese, which are its main/core products. As weknow Amul is a co-operative organisaion but chocolate industry is aprofitable industry we can’t ignore it. With the help of research,
company can find out its week points in chocolate product and canincrease its market share through rectify mistakes. People havebelieved in Amul’s product and they will accept its chocolates alsoif effective actions were taken.
The survey resulted into following conclusions :
Amul must come up with new promotional activities such
that people become aware about Amul Chocolates like
Chocozoo, Bindaaz, and Fundoo.
Quality is the dominating aspect which influences consumer
to purchase Amul product, but prompt availability of other
chocolate brands and aggressive promotional activities by
others influences the consumer towards them and also leads toincrease sales.
In comparison to Amul Chocolate, the other players such as
Cadbury, Nestle, and Perfetti provide a better availability
and give competition to the hilt.
People are mostly satisfied with the overall quality of Amul
Chocolate, but for the existence in the local market Amul must
use aggressive selling techniques.
