1. Introduction and rational of the study
Introduction to the tittle
“Study of customer satisfaction for selected milk products at Desi Farms, Pune”
1.2 Rational of the study:
Fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector is the 4th largest sector in Indian economy. Growing
awareness, easier access and changing lifestyle have been the key growth drivers of the sector the urban
segment (accounts for revenue share of around 55%) is largest contribution to the overall revenue
generated by the FMCG sector in India. So lot of new FMCG companies entered and try to build their
position in the market and in the metro cites ( pune , Mumbai etc ) demand more about the milk
products
The home town small industries and other industries giving competition to established brands Like
Amul, Mother dairy gowardhan ETC. So in this present market situation if the new industries will to
establish the market small industries necessary to take effective marketing campaign and brand
awareness program
By this way company understand their present market position and make improvement
1.3 DEVELOPING A MARKETING MIX
Intuition and creative thinking are essential job requirements for a marketing manager. But relying on
just these can lead to inaccurate assumptions that may not end up delivering results. To ensure a
marketing mix that is based in research and combines facts with innovation, a manager should go through
the following systematic process:
Step 1: Defining Unique Selling Proposition
The first item on the marketing manager’s agenda should be to define what the product has to offer or its
unique selling proposition (USP). Through customer surveys or focus groups, there needs to be an
identification of how important this USP is to the consumer and whether they are intrigued by the

2
offering. It needs to be clearly understood what the key features and benefits of the product are and
whether they will help ensure sales.
Step 2: Understanding the Consumer
The second step is to understand the consumer. The product can be focused by identifying who will
purchase it. All other elements of the marketing mix follow from this understanding. Who is the
customer? What do they need? What is the value of the product to them? This understanding will ensure
that the product offering is relevant and
Step 3: Understanding the Competition
The next step is to understand the competition. The prices and related benefits such as discounts,
warranties and special offers need to be assessed. An understanding of the subjective value of the product
and a comparison with its actual manufacturing distribution cost will help set a realistic price point.
Step 4: Evaluating PlacementOptions
At this point the marketing manager needs to evaluate placement options to understand where the
customer is most likely to make a purchase and what are the costs associated with using this channel.
Multiple channels may help target a wider customer base and ensure east of access. On the other hand, if
the product serves a niche market then it may make good business sense to concentrate distribution to a
specific area or channel. The perceived value of the product is closely tied in with how it is made
available.
Step 5: Developing Communication / Promotion strategy
Based on the audience identified and the price points established, the marketing communication strategy
can now be developed. Whatever promotional methods are finalized need to appeal to the intended
customers and ensure that the key features and benefits of the product are clearly understood and
highlighted.

3
Step 6: Cross-check ofthe Marketing Mix
A step back needs to be taken at this point to see how all the elements identified and planned for relate to
each other. All marketing mix variables are interdependent and rely on each other for a strong strategy. Do
the proposed selling channels reinforce the perceived value of the product? Is the promotional material in
keeping with the distribution channels proposed? The marketing plan can be finalized once it is ensured
that all four elements are in harmony and there are no conflicting messages, either implicit or explicit.
Objective:
 Creat brand awareness in existing market
 Understand consumer behivour and perception towards product
 Understand market potentional for product
 Understand coustomer satisfaction & challaenges towards Desi farms milkproduct

Back ground of dairy industry
The start of organized dairy handling was created in India with the establishment of Military Dairy Farms.
In the early phases, milk handling in Co-operative Milk Unions 8 was established throughout the nation on
a tiny scale. Refrigerated long range rail transport of milk from Anand to Bombay since 1945.
The large-scale pasteurization and bottling of milk for structured distribution began in Aarey (1950),
Calcutta (Haringhata, 1959), Delhi (1959), Worli (1961), Madras (1963), etc.
Establishment of Milk Plants throughout India under the Five-Year Dairy Development Plans. These were
taken up with the dual purpose of raising the domestic level of milk consumption and resulting in better
yields to the main milk producer. Their primary goal was to generate more, better, and cheaper milk.
Some facts about the Indian dairy industry:
 India's dairy production rose from 21.2 million tons in 1968 to over 121 million tons in 2011-2012.
 India is the largest producer of Milk in the World (replacing USA)
 Milk supply per capita is currently 290 grams per day, up from 112 grams per day in 1968-69.
 India has annual growth of milk production is 4 %

5
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.
 95% of dairy equipment is produced in India, saving valuable foreign exchange.
Macro Impact:
 The annual value of India's milk production amounts to about Rs. 900 millions.
 Dairy cooperatives generate employment opportunities for some 12 million farm families.
 Dairy Farming is the single largest contributor to the economy(4% of
GDP & 26% of agricultural GDP).
 Dairy industry represents a huge opportunity being the largest single Fmcg market
Key challenges before Indian Dairy Industry are as follows:
 Ensuring Quality
 Procurement and efficiencies in supply chain
 Product differentiation and value addition

Needfor study of dairy industry:
Dairy is currently the top-ranking commodity in India, with the value of output in 2004 at 1.179 billion
rupees (US$39 million), which is almost equal to the combined output value of rice and wheat. Despite the
importance of the dairy sector in overall GDP, it receives less government budgeting than the agriculture
sector. Further, there has been no concentrated investment in the development of value-added or innovative
products, nor any serious effort to support and modernize the informal sector.
In light of the increasing demand driven by the growing population, higher incomes and more health
consciousness, the slowdown in dairy industry growth is severely worrisome. Based on estimates by the
National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), the demand for milk is likely to reach 180 million tonnes by
2022. To supply the market, an average incremental increase of 5 million tonnes per annum over
the next 15 years is required – a doubling of the average incremental rate achieved over the past 15 years.
In the absence of sufficient increased production, India will need to rely on the world market for imports.
And because of the huge volume required, it will affect global milk prices. Thus, focusing on areas for local
dairy development is critical.
Traditionally, the policy environment has favoured the expansion of cooperatives, which ultimately
crowded out the private sector. However, liberalization of the sector in recent years has encouraged private
investment in dairying. In 2002, the Milk and Milk Products Order (MMPO) ushered in major policy
changes friendly to the private sector and a momentum of activity that is likely to increase dramatically in
the coming years. Large Indian and multinational corporations, such as Reliance, Pepsi and Coca-Cola, are
planning significant investments.
Nowadays, both the private sector and the cooperatives drive the value chains. Because of the many
unsuccessful cooperatives in the country, other models of dairy farmer organizations are being explored,
such as mutually aided cooperative societies (MACS) and producer companies.
Millions of small and marginal farmers in dairying who own two to three animals and produce an average
of 5 litres comprise a critical portion of India’s dairy industry. Livestock development in general and dairy
development activities in particular are key components of pro-poor development strategies because
livestock distribution is much more equitable than land distribution. Thus, changes in the dairying
environment have important implications for the smallholder farmers and for poverty reduction.
The following characterizes India’s dairy farming and its relevance to inclusive growth:

7
 Small and marginal farmers own 33 per- cent of land and about 60 per- cent of female cattle and
buffaloes.
 Some 75 per- cent of rural households own, on average, two to four animals.
 Dairying is a part of the farming system, not a separate enterprise. Feed is mostly residual from
crops, whereas cow dung is important for manure.
 Dairying provides a source of regular income, whereas income from agriculture is seasonal. This
regular source of income has a huge impact on minimizing risks to income. There is some
indication that areas where dairy is well developed have less incidence of farmer suicide.
 About a third of rural incomes are dependent upon dairying.
 Livestock is a security asset to be sold in times of crisis.
Factors affecting the competitiveness of the dairy sector:
To assess the dairy sector’s competiveness, a performance analysis looked at five factors: demand
conditions, market structure, factor conditions, related supporting industries, and government and the
enabling environment.
Demand conditions
Demand for dairy products in India is likely to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by more
consumers, higher incomes and greater interest in nutrition. Consumption of processed and packaged dairy
products is increasing in urban areas. Because of the increasing competition from the private sector, several
national and international brands have entered the market and expanded consumers’ expectation of quality
– although only among a small proportion of the population. In many parts of the country, people still
prefer unpacked and unprocessed milk delivered by a local milkman because of its taste and the perception
of freshness. The price elasticity for milk is high, thus demand for milk is very sensitive to price changes.
Table 1: Demand conditions
Market size and growth Market growth is due to high per capita
consumption, increasing population and health consciousness
Consumption patterns Consumption of processed and packaged dairy products is
increasing in urban areas
Consumption patterns Unpackaged milk is still preferred because of taste and price
Sophistication of consumers Consumer awareness on product quality is increasing but in a
very small portion of the population
Receptivity to new products Mostly urban consumers have a very low but increasing
interest in new products

8
Market structure
Until 2002, cooperatives traditionally were the dominant players in the formal sector. With liberalization of
the dairy industry, private investment has increased quite significantly. However, the organized sector’s
share in milk procurement is very low because a large proportion of the milk and milk products are sold
through the informal channel (Table 3). The informal demand absorbs approximately 41 percent of the milk
and milk products produced in the country, accounting for about 75 percent of the marketable surplus of
milk. The formal channel, with its packaged milk and dairy products, accounts for only about 25 percent of
the marketable surplus, which is about 15 percent of production.
Table 2: Market Structure
Performance Still large share of produce; 85% of marketable surplus goes
through informal channel
Quality of milk through informal channel is an issue and to
some extent in formal channel as well
Competitive structure Little competition to cooperatives because private sector was
not allowed in the sector until recently
Entry of supermarkets in retailing of milk is increasing the
competitive structure
Governance (value chain type) Governance of cooperative structures is constaining efficiency
and expansion
Role of "lead" or organizing firms Role of lead agency has been hampered by government
interference in cooperatives
Farmer organization Immense scope for improving management and governance
through farmer organizations
Marketing chain capacity and efficiency Scope for enhancing efficiency of distribution
Distribution channels Cooperatives have a well-developed distribution channel in
urban areas
How market signals are conveyed or
distorted
Government and political interference in price setting, limits
prices being determined by market forces.
The informal sector consists of the village milk vendors who procure loose milk from farmers and sell it in
urban and peri-urban areas directly to consumers, small private processors or hotels. The milk vendors also
may sell processed products, such as paneer or separated cream. The quality of the vendors’ milk and milk
products is not guaranteed. Largely sold in loose form, it is often adulterated with several additives to
control spoilage.

Cooperatives are the central players in the formal dairy sector. The cooperatives have a three-tier structure
i) primary societies at the village level, ii) unions at the district level and iii) federations at the state level.
Currently, there are 14 federations in India.
The success of the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), known for its Amul brand
and its Amul model of cooperative, is acclaimed. However, there is a perception that cooperative
organizations generally have failed in other parts of the country. A less recognized fact is that the
cooperatives in other states are organized differently than the GCMMF cooperatives. The GCMMF
cooperatives operate as a true representative of farmers and are run by professionally qualified managers. In
most other states, the cooperatives are managed by civil servants, function more as government bodies and
are weak representatives of farmers.
Of the 14 major state cooperatives in the country, 10 have state government equity, of which 6 have
government equity in excess of 51 percent. Twelve of the 14 cooperatives have government officers as
managing directors who are appointed by the state government. It is not uncommon for these officials to
change up to three times a year. Because of such governance, cooperatives are mere parastatals and do not
work in the true spirit of cooperatives – with elected farmer representatives and professionals who run the

10
organization. This governance structure influences the functioning of the entire chain, from the state
federation to the village societies and thus significantly impacts farmers’ involvement in the chain.
The primary differences between the GCMMF cooperatives and other state cooperatives are price and
services. In Gujarat, the price paid to farmers is based on fat content; there is regular testing of milk each
farmer supplies. In most of the other states, there is hardly any testing of milk. In other state cooperatives,
the village society president wields a lot of power and typically decides the prices paid to farmers.
Reportedly, farmers with some degree of influence receive higher prices while those without receive lower
remuneration. Being the lead organizations, the cooperatives also set a benchmark for prices paid by other
buyers, such as local vendors and private dairies, who tend to pay 50 paise or 1 rupee ($ .02) more than that
paid by the cooperatives. Thus, if the farmgate price paid by the cooperative is low, other players also pay a
low price.
For most of the private dairies, agents procure the milk from farmers. Some private dairies have established
village societies for milk collection that follow the cooperative model. However, this model requires much
larger investment and is not economically feasible, considering that cooperatives receive considerable
development support from the government (such as feed subsidies). It is not uncommon for private dairies
to make loans to farmers, which is a key reason for the somewhat large share of milk directed to this
channel.
Factor conditions
Factor conditions for dairying entail the quality of animals, human resources and technical skills, land
availability, capital, credit, infrastructure and other inputs relevant to the value chain, as the following
explains.
The quality of animals is critical in determining its milk productivity and hence overall production.
Currently, low productivity per animal hinders development of the dairy sector. Despite being the world’s
largest milk producer, India’s productivity per animal is very low, at 987 kg per lactation, compared with
the global average of 2 038 kg per lactation.
The low productivity is a result of ineffective cattle and buffalo breeding programmes, limited extension
and management on dairy enterprise development, traditional feeding practices that are not based on
scientific

Indian diary industry had tremendous milk production 40 years and has become world largets milk
producing nation with the gross out put of 74.6 million tons in 2001 .The dairy industry has
achieved this strength of producer-owend and professionally-managed cooperative system despite
fact that a majority of dairy farmers are illiterate and run small , marginal operations and many
farmers selling milk is their sole source of income .More than 10 million dairy farmers belong to
96000 local dairy cooperative who sell their sell their product to one of 170 milk producer
cooperative union who in turn are supported by 15 state cooperative milk marketing federation
2.1 What is customer satisfaction measurement?
Simply put, assessing customer satisfaction requires data collection that provides information on
how satisfied customers are with a product, or otherwise.
Overall, measurement of customer satisfaction uses quantitative questionnaires to obtain
information from service users on the level of satisfaction with service experience aspects. While
there are many different models used in the literature to conceptualize measurement of customer
satisfaction, measurement of customer satisfaction at its most basic level includes an analysis of the
discrepancy between the perception of a customer of a product or service and the experience of a
customer of a product or service. This may involve structured survey questions where service users
are asked to rank their satisfaction levels using predetermined scales or open-ended questions where
a respondent can provide details of their satisfaction with different aspects of a service experience.
Measuring customer satisfaction at a more advanced level is part of a process of quality
enhancement. Managing a customer satisfaction survey is just one part of a larger system where a
service provider uses data obtained from service customers to improve and optimize the customer's
experience.
Measurement of customer satisfaction is based on observations and methods based on academic
theories of customer satisfaction and quality of service from the business, marketing and
management fields. The disconfirmation model, which conceptualizes satisfaction as the
relationship between expectations and actual results, is one of the more widely adopted theories.
Since measurement of customer satisfaction originated in the business and marketing sectors, it has
become well known as a tool within the business sector. Measuring customer satisfaction is a
primary marketing tool for recognizing and improving business performance in competitive
markets. In advertising, customer satisfaction is perceived as the ultimate goal of any company as
satisfied customers are more likely to become repeat customers and refer another potential customer
to a business.

12
Although assessment methods for customer satisfaction were originally developed for use in
competitive markets, they are increasingly being extended in public sector environments as a way to
track performance and improve the quality of service. Measurement of customer satisfaction is more
commonly used for measuring performance in a range of customer service settings in a range of
public sector areas, including transport, health and disability.
Key concept
Customer satisfaction:Customer satisfaction is about assessing customer attitudes about
products, services and brands. While it’s always been smart to keep customers happy (Kotler 2003),
the term “customer satisfaction” became popularized in the 1980’s with the total quality movement.
Therefore customer satisfaction postulate as one of the main indicators of business performance. It
results to repurchase behavior (Bolton, 1998; Fornell, 1992), positive word-of-mouth referrals (Oh,
1999), fewer complaints (Bearden and Teel, 1983; Fornell et al., 1996), and a smaller set of
alternative offers considered in purchase decisions (Lapersonne et al., 1995). These influences on
consumer behavior cause customer satisfaction to reduce marketing costs (Reichheld and Sasser,
1990), warranty costs (Garvin, 1988), and the business risk (Fornell et al., 2006) and contribute to
enhance sales (Gómez et al., 2004), profitability (Anderson et al., 1994; Ittner and Larcker, 1998),
stock value (Anderson et al., 2004; Ikeshoji and Enkawa, 2004), and the overall corporate image
(Anderson and Sullivan, 1993; Johnson et al., 2001).
FMCG: (Fast moving consumer) goods Consumer goods are products purchased for consumption
by the average consumer. They are divided into three different categories: durable, nondurable
goods, and services. Durable goods have a shelf life of three years or more while nondurable goods
have a shelf life of less than one year. Fast-moving consumer goods are the largest segment of
consumer goods. They fall into the nondurable category, as they are consumed immediately and
have a short shelf life.
Marketing:Marketing as a discipline involves all the actions a company undertakes to draw in
customers and maintain relationships with them. Networking with potential or past clients is part of the
work too, including writing thank you emails, playing golf with a prospective client, returning calls and
emails quickly, and meeting with clients for coffee or a meal.
At its most basic, marketing seeks to match a company's products and services to customers who want
access to those products. The matching of product to customer ultimately ensures profitability.

13
Marketresearch:Marketing research is the function that links the consumer, customer, and public to
the marketer through information–information used to identify and define marketing opportunities and
problems; generate, refine, and evaluate marketing actions; monitor marketing performance; and improve
understanding of marketing as a process. Marketing research specifies the information required to address
these issues, designs the method for collecting information, manages and implements the data collection
process, analyses the results, and communicates the findings and their implications.
Promotion activity: Promotions refer to the entire set of activities, which communicate the product,
brand or service to the user. The idea is to make people aware, attract and induce to buy the product, in
preference over others.
Survey: A Survey is defined as a research method used for collecting data from a pre-defined group of
respondents to gain information and insights on various topics of interest. Surveys have a variety of
purposes and can be carried out in many ways depending on the methodology chosen and the objectives to
be achieved.
The data is usually obtained through the use of standardized procedures whose purpose is to ensure that
each respondent is able to answer the questions at a level playing field to avoid biased opinions that could
influence the outcome of the research or study
Business to Business (B2B):
Business to business also called B to B or B2B, is a form of transaction between businesses, such as one
involving a manufacturer and wholesaler, or a wholesaler and a retailer. Business to business refers to
business that is conducted between companies, rather than between a company and individual consumers.
Business to business stands in contrast to business to consumer (B2C) and business to government
(B2G) transactions.
Business to customer: Business-to-consumer marketing, or B2C marketing, refers to the tactics and
strategies in which a company promotes its products and services to individual people: creating,
advertising, and selling products for customers to use in their everyday lives.
There are many differences when it comes to B2C marketing and B2B. Some of the most important
distinctions include the purchasing and sales process, decision-makers involved, and cost of purchases.

14
Perception: Customer perception refers to the process by which a customer selects, organizes, and
interprets information/stimuli inputs to create a meaningful picture of the brand or the product. It is a three
stage process that translates raw stimuli into meaningful information.
Customer expectation:Customer expectations are the feelings, needs, and ideas that customers have
towards certain products or services. Customers experience is based on what they want from the products
or services they are paying for. Most successful organizations always aim at meeting or exceeding customer
expectations through high-quality products and services. They are the outcome of a learning process and
once they are formed.
Importance of customer satisfaction:
We’ve gone through three different takes on what customer satisfaction is. But why do businesses need to
emphasize on it? It does seem like an intuitive things for companies to do, but there’s more to it. We’ve
already seen that customer satisfaction is a leading indicator to purchase intentions and customer loyalty.
Customer loyalty is also a lagging indicator of customer retention, and here are 5 compelling reasons why
customer retention matters.
 As quoted by HBR, acquiring a new customer is anywhere from 5x to 25x more expensive than retaining
an existing one.
 According to Gartner, your loyal customers who form the 20% of your customer base drive an additional
80% of business.
 As per Mar Tech, existing customers are 3x to 10x more likely to spend than a cold lead.
 According to Fred Reichheld, inventor of the net promoter score, a 5% increase in customer retention
results in a 25% to 95% increase in profits.
 Compared to a new person evaluating it, price consciousness also decreases the longer a customer stays
with a product.
 All this applies to your website visitors as well. Repeat visitors spend more time per page and are more
likely to leave a review too.
Satisfied customers contribute to customer retention and reducing churn. It leads to less spends or more
budget to spend on other activities. It brings in more revenue and also word of mouth. And the pursuit for
keeping our customers satisfied will enable us to continually improve upon our support functions, call

15
center interactions, our communications and the product itself. It will also help us set the stage for the next
task – winning customer loyalty. As customer service expert Shep Hyken has to say, “There is a big
difference between satisfied customers and loyal customers. Satisfactory is a rating. Loyalty is an emotion.”
Interestingly, Shep says this in a blog post titled ‘Why Customer Satisfaction is a Myth’. Well.
The NationalDairy Plan
The National Dairy Plan Phase I (NDP I), a Central Sector Scheme of the Government of India, is being
implemented by National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in 18 States with a network of 150 End
Implementing Agencies (EIAs) for the period 2011-12 to 2018-19
NDP I is an externally-aided project with the total outlay of ` 22,420 million comprising ` 15,840 million as
International Development Association (World Bank) assistance, ` 1,760 million as GoI share, ` 2,820
million as share of EIAs that will carry out the projects in participating States and support of ` 2,000 million
by National Dairy Development Board and its subsidiaries for providing technical and implementation
support to the project.
NDP I is being implemented in 18 major milk producing States, viz. Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh,
Gujarat, Haryana, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Punjab,
Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and West Bengal. These States account for
more than 90 per cent of the country’s milk production, over 87 per cent of the breedable cattle and buffalo
population and 98 per cent of the country’s fodder resources. However, the benefits from the project are
accruing across the country.
NDP consists of a multi-pronged series of initiatives and the key envisaged outputs under the programme
are mentioned in the table below:

2.2 Historical backgroundof NDB:
The National Dairy and Development Board was established in 1965, with the task to organize bad
milk manufacturers, thereby transforming dairy into a tool for the economic development of the
rural individuals of India. The NDDB's creation came from the vision of India's then Prime
Minister, the late
Lal Bahadur Shastri, to extend the achievement of the Kaira Cooperative Milk Producer's Union (in
Mother's State) to other areas of India.

19
The NDDB started its activities with the mission of creating a car dairy for millions of grassroots
milk manufacturers to have a better future. The mission achieved momentum and direction with the
launch of "Operation Flood" in 1970, a 30-year program that used loan from the World Bank to
finance the emergence of India as the largest producing nation in the world. Milk commodity
surpluses were building up in Europe during this era. Imports from Europe had already had a
negative impact on India's dairy industry. Imports by individual players in India would have led in a
country-wide market glut and a drop in prices. With the support of public policy and the support of
the World Food Program, NDDB imported food aid in the form of milk powder and butter oil and
sold it under its own brand name. The surplus from these sales has been invested in expanding the
dairy industry cooperative movement. The third stage of Operation Flood was finished in 1996 and
has a number of important accomplishments to its credit.
The Dairy Board has been planning and leading India's dairy programs since its founding by putting
dairy growth in the hands of milk manufacturers and the experts they hire to handle their
cooperatives. Furthermore, on an extensive and nationwide basis, NDDB also encourages other
commodity-based cooperatives, associated sectors and veterinary biology.

National milk production
India is the largest producer of milk in the World. India's milk production was 100.9 million tons (subject to
provisional estimates of Jammu & Kashmir) during 2006-07.
India’s milk production has been continuously increasing over the past six decades. HS&SL estimates that
the production will continue to grow at the rate of 3 per cent per annum. Due to increasing population, even
during the years when milk production grows at 3 per cent per annum, milk availability per capita will
grow at only about 1.5 per cent per annum

21
Year Milk prod Per capita availability
1999-2000 78.3 217
2001-2002 80.6 220
2003-2004 84.4 225
2004-2005 86.2 230
2005-2006 88.1 231
2007-2008 103..9 252
2009-2010 110.3 260
2011-2012 117 269
Per capita availability of milk in India is very low compared to that of most developed countries. For
example, the figures for some other countries are as follows - USA – 661 g / day; United Kingdom – 656 g
/ day; Ireland – 913 g / day; Australia – 556 g / day; Brazil 327 g/ day. Indian per capita availability is
higher than of Japan (199 g / day). However, Japan gets much of its protein requirement from fish, while
India is primarily a vegetarian country where milk is an essential source of protein and calcium for most of
the population.
Milk production up 6.6% at 176.35 mm toe in 2017-2018:
India’s milk production is estimated to have increased by 6.6 per cent to 176.35 million tonnes during the
last financial year. “Milk production in the country is 165.4 million tonnes during 2016-17 and 176.35
million tonnes (provisional) during 2017-18,” Minister of State for Agriculture Krishna Raj has said in a
written reply to the Lok Sabha.
She also informed that the projected milk production by 2021-22 is 254.5 million tonnes as per the vision
2022 document. India is the largest milk producer in the world. To achieve this target, the minister said that
the department has been implementing many dairy development schemes to supplement the efforts of the
state governments to create necessary infrastructure across the country.
These schemes are - Rashtriya Gokul Mission, National Programme for Dairy Development (NPDD),
National Dairy Plan Phase I, Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme, Dairy Processing Infrastructure
Development Fund (DIDF) and Supporting State Co-operative Dairy Federation

frequently, the required outcome is to drive consumer behaviour towards a business offering. In many areas
of Pune consumers don't know about Desi farms milk and milk products,

Advertising is a non-personal presentation of goods and services and only non-personal mode to
communicate the consumer about product is not sufficient. Hence promotional activity required
