2.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE

A diary is a business enterprise established for the harvesting of animal milk. Milk producing animals have
been domesticated for thousands of years. As the community moved about the country, their animals
accompanied them. With industrialization and urbanization, the supply of milk becomes a commercial
industry. With specialized breeds of cattle being developing for dairy as distinct from beef or draught
animals. The structure of dairy industry varies in different parts of the world. In major milk producing
countries most milk is distributed through wholesalers markets.

Since 1971 the dairy co-operative have played a prominent role and made notable contribution in the overall
development of the dairy industry in the country. More than 83 % of milk is being collected through co
operatives in India. There are managerial and operational defects in working of milk co-operatives in India.
There managerial drawbacks can be removed if we follow proper methods in milk collection. The dairy co-
operational should provide the required help to the producers by providing high yielding mulch animals,
fodder, veterinary aid etc., by roving these constraints, the co-operatives as well as the dairy industry is sure
to succeed. The federation board of co-operatives is made up elected chairman of the union and the
government representatives with special interest. This policy maker under Annand type cooperatives
systems are drawn from primary co-operative level and can get elected to the managing committee, to the
union board and Finally to the federation level. The districts union and federation have over the years
worked to develop the co-operative societies to a state level federation has been on evolutionary process in
the history in the co-operative movement in the dairy sector and is now being extended to the other plans
of India.

India is the world's largest producer of dairy products by Volume, accounting for more than 13% of the
world s' total milk production. Milk and has world s' largest dairy herd. As the country consumer almost all
of its own milk production. India was neither an active importer nor an exporter of dairy products prior to
year 2000. However, 'since the implementation of Operation Flood Program, the situation changed
significantly and imports of dairy products reduced to very small quantities from 2001. India has become
a net exporter of dairy products and after 2003 India's daily imports has dipped while exports have increased
at a fast rate. Yet the country's hare in global dairy trade still remains at minor levels of 0.3 and 0.4 Percent
for exports and imports respectively. This is due to the direct consumption of liquid milk by the produce
households as well as the demand for proceed dairy product that has increase whit the growth of income
levels, which have left little dairy product such as casein for food processing or pharmaceuticals. The Indian

dairy sector is also different from other dairy producing countries as India place its emphasis on both cattle
and buffalo milk. In 2010, the government and the National Dairy Development Board have drawn up a
National Dairy Plan (NDP) that proposes to nearly double India's milk productivity, improve access to
quality fees and improve farmer access to the organized market. These goals will be achieved through
activities that focus on increasing cooperative membership and growing the network of milk collection
facilities throughout India.

Despite its huge production volume, India nevertheless faces a milk supply can due to increasing demand
from a growing middle class population. Estimation suggests that Indian dairy production is growing at a
rate of about four per cent per year, yet consume demand is growing at approximately double that rate.
Apart from the rapidly increasing demand for milk and dairy products , other reasons such as the increased
cattle feeds cost and low availability of dairy from labour in the rural areas have also resulted in increasing
in the cost of production. On the other hand, the strong pressure from EU to open up its market as well as
the prop free trade agreement with the Australia and New Zealand may also put India's dairy sector in the
risk of being paradised. In order to maintain the development of its dairy industry, focus needs to be placed
on several areas. First, cost of production has to be reduced through increasing productivity of animals,
improve animal health care and breeding facilities and management of dairy animals. Second, Indian dairy
industry needs to further develop proper dairy production, processing and marketing infrastructure, which
is capable of meeting international quality requirement. Third, India can focus on buffalo milk based
specialist products, such as Mozzarella cheese, in order to meet the needs of the target consumers.

India is the world's largest producer of dairy products by volume and has world's largest dairy herd. The
country accounts for more than 13% of world s' total milk production and also the world's largest consumer
of dairy products, consuming almost all of its own milk [Link] has been regarded as one of
the activities that could contribute to alleviating the poverty and unemployment especially in the drought-
prone and rain- fed areas. In India, about three-fourth of the population live in rural areas and about 38%
of them are poor. Therefore, among these peoples as well as large vegetarian segment of country's
population, dairy products provide a Critical source nutrition and animal protein to millions of people in
India. Prior to year 2000, India was not noticed by most international dairy company, as the country was
neither an active importer nor an exporter of dairy products. Although India has imported some milk powder
and butter oils as aid between 1970 and 1990, exports from India were insignificantly small and it was not
until 2000 onwards, when India dairy products started having more presence in global markets. Milk

production in India has developed significantly in the past few decades from a low volume of 17 million
tons in 1951 to 110 million tonnes in 2009. Currently, India dairy market is growing at an annual rate of
7%. Despite the increase in production, a demand supply gap has become imminent in the dairy industry
due to the changing consumption habits, dynamic demographic patterns, and the rapid urbanization of rural
India. This means that there is an urgent need for the growth rate of the dairy sector to match the rapidly
growing India economy.

Dairy farmers were set up by the British in 1886 and alive stock census was taken in1919. The cooperative
movement has its genesis in 1946 when the farmers of Kaira District (Gujarat) realized that they had to end
their exploitation by the middlemen working for poison s of Bombay. The farmers went on strike and
refused to supply Milk in order to press for their demands.

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 the entrepreneurs globally. Anyone might
want to capitalise on the largest and fastest growing milk and milk products market. The dairy industry in
India has bee witnessing rapid growth. The liberalized economy provides more opportunities for MNCs
and foreign investors to release the full potential of this industry. The main aim of the Indian dairy industry
is only better manage the national resources to enhance milk production and upgrade milk processing using
innovative technologies.

History of dairy industry in India

During the 1950s and 1960s, India had a milk shortage and was dependent on imports; annual production growth
was negative for several years. Throughout the first decade after independence, milk production recorded a
CAGR of 1.64%, which fell to 1.15% during the 1960s.

Despite having the world’s biggest cattle population, the nation generated less than 21 MT of milk annually.
The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) was established in 1965 to assist the Operation Flood
programme, which was to be executed in stages, in establishing the Anand Pattern of dairy cooperatives
throughout the country. The inaugural chairman of NDDB was Dr. Varghese Kurien, who is well-known in
India as the Father of the White Revolution. Dr. Kurien and his team started working on the project’s launch,
which called for establishing Anand Pattern cooperatives in milk sheds throughout the nation, from which liquid
milk produced and purchased by milk cooperatives would be carried to cities.

Growth over time

UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, PARAVUR Page 12

A STUDY ON EMPLOYEE WELFARE MEASURES AT MILCO DIARY

India's dairy industry is expected to maintain 15 per cent compounded annual growth (CAGR) over 2016-
20, and attain value of Rs 9.4 trillion on rising consumerism, a report said. India's dairy industry is worth
Rs 5.4 trillion by value, having grown at 15 per cent CAGR during 2010-16. Going ahead, the dairy industry
is expected to maintain 15 per cent CAGR over 2016-20, and attain value of Rs 9.4 trillion on rising
consumerism," Edelweiss Securities said in a report. India has progressed from being deficient in milk
production at 20 million MT in 1970 to becoming the world's largest milk producer at 160 million MT,
accounting for 18.5 per cent of global milk production. Further, India is expected to emerge as the largest
dairy producer by 2020, the report said. The Union government implemented the Central Scheme National
Dairy Plan - Phase 1 during 2012-17 to improve productivity of dairy cooperatives through several input
activities. Investments by private players in the domestic dairy sector is also expected to further augment
milk productivity, it explained.

Going ahead, India's milk production is expected to outperform global production and grow at a similar 4.2
per cent CAGR to 185 million MT per annum, and surpass EU to emerge the largest dairy producer by
2020. Interestingly, the country's per capita milk consumption has also been increasing at 3 per cent CAGR
as compared to 1 per cent CAGR globally. The report notes that there is huge scope for India's per capita
milk consumption to spurt led by growth in value-added products (VADP), which is at 34 per cent of
industry versus 86 per cent for the global mature markets like EU, the report said. India has a potential of
15-30 per cent plus growth in VADP like cheese, whey, UHT milk over next few years, it added. Led by
rising disposable income, and growing consumer preference for branded and value-added milk and milk
products, investments by organised players also in the sector has been on the rise.

The report pointed out that other top milk producing geographies like EU, USA, China, Pakistan are
expected to grow their production volumes at 2 per cent growth over 2020, which is lower than India's
growth estimates.

2.2 COMPANY PROFILE

Milco is a co-operative government undertaking which manufactures milk and milk products. It is one of
the leading milk dairies in Kerala. It started its commercial production on 27 of February 2005. Within a
short period, Milco achieved an important place in the dairy industry.

Milco is a unit of Melkadakkavur Ksheera Vyavasaya Sahakarana Sangam Ltd. No. T-17(D) which is
registered and functioning under the Kerala State Dairy Development Department with the objective of
socio-economic development of the people as well as the area and especially the development of the dairy
farmers. The dairy plant is now handling about 5000 liters of milk per day paying reasonable price to the
farmers. It is anticipated that milk procurement of the society will increase about 30% by the end of the
year. It is essential that the price of the milk offered by the farmers should be continued at the same rate or
a little higher. It is not easy to handle the excess milk, which is anticipated in the future year, with the present
infrastructure available in the society. Society can face the issues of marketing only if they establish a unit
for processing milk for which a huge investment is required. It is merely difficult to procure such a large
amount of capital as it is to be brought by the members of the co-operative society.

The society has proposed to setup a dairy unit at Kilauea which is only 2 kms apart from the Attingal town.
The site is having all the services facilities like Water, three-phase power connection, access road
communication facilities and is away from industrial waste. They have their own dairy farm near their
processing unit, which enables them to collect milk for their day- to-day activities. As Milco is a HACCP
certified organization, they have to satisfy the quality parameters in order to sell in the market. Therefore,
there is no fall off from selling the products at minimum quality. The demand for milk in urban and Semi-
urban areas are very high when compared to rural areas. Although there are various agencies and cycle
vendors for supplying milk, most of them did not able to win the confidence of the customers because of
their unrealizable quality. Also, it was advised to fill the milk in the plastic packets for easy handling. They
usually take advantage of festival season for marketing their products like ice-creams, sweets etc. They
also offered discount coupons to the customers. This in turn created new loyal customers and retained the
old customers.

milk is very high. Although there are various agencies including cycle vendor, supplying milk etc. Most of
them have not been able to their unreliable quality. Milk being perishable product, it will get spoiled within
a few hours unless it is processed. Shelf like milk can be increased pasteurization to insure the quality. Also,
it is advisable to fulfill the milk in pouches for easy handling. Though there is much demand for milk frame
semi-urban and urban areas, being perishable nature, the society will not be able to meet their demand. The
main constraint is the lack of processing. For marketing the entire quantity of milk which is produced by
the society, it is essential to establish a processing unit of 10000 litres per day capacity to avoid huge loss
due to the spollage of milk during transportation and marketing.

CONCLUSION

Based on the study conducted on employee welfare at Milco dairy, it's evident that the company has
implemented several effective measures to ensure the well-being of its workforce. The research indicates
that Milco dairy prioritizes employee satisfaction by offering competitive benefits packages, promoting a
