Paschimi RajasthanDugadh Utpadak Sahakari Sangh, (Jodhpur PRDUSS) was established in the year 1972, under the Operation Flood Programmed finds from D.P.A.P. were utilized for the construction of plant at Jodhpur, and later on the establish various chilling centers. Initially five districts of Jodhpur, Pali, Jaislmer, Barmer and Nagore were included under PRDUSS. But Pali was hived off later and was made into an independent union.
Under Jodhpur Union the production of milk is one lack per day while consumption of milk is 73 thousand liters per day. The excess of milk (60 thousand liters) is send to the central dairy Delhi and Gujarat. At present 485 co-operative societies and 347- milk collection canter are functioning where average production of milk is one lack thirty three thousand liters coming in Jodhpur dairy through 53,198 milk production’s.
Through increase milk production can fight with famine. Man district of Marwar faces with famine in every year but through increase in milk production they do earn money and get relief from famine. There is only source of earning money is selling of milk to DCS. They get payment in cash or bank account after days.
According to dairy officers whenever falling famine in western Rajasthan, in dairy collection of mill increase. During the famine in Barmer and Jaisalmer district the collection of milk is increase 45,000 liter. In the last year, December the total collection of milk was 72,000 liter while this year it is reached 1, 17000 liter. Dairy provides animal food at cheap rate for maximum production of milk.

MARKETING-SARAS DAIRY
Till very recently, the marketing department was the most neglected. It was only after it was realized that the profits came from city sales, the union started paying attention to this most essential activity-
The city sample at jodhpur has increased to nearly 90,000 LPD (june,2009) and has shown a steady growth over the last two years. Toned milk is the only type of milk processed. The dairy also manufactures other fresh products, but the production is order based and is has a very insubstantial contribution towards the total sales of the dairy.
A)- DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
20 | P a g e
The dairy has appointed retailers (booth agents) throughout the city who sell milk. There are 330 agents in the city and these have been distributed over ten different routes. The dairy has provided tin booth to some of the agents while some of them have been provided with parlors. Currently 26 parlors are opened by the union. A break up of types off booth agents is provided in the graph.
The dairy has to spend Rs. 20lacs on transportation for transfer of milk from one place to another
Road Side Agents
Dholwala
Shopes
Parlours
Types of Agents of SARAS (Retailers)
As we see from the figure, more than half of the agents are roadside retailers. Both the shops and parlors are stoned structures the differences being that former are managed by the dairy staff.

A- ASC SUPPLYSupply to the ASC centers from a substantial part of the total sales of the union. Rate of the ASC supply is decides at pune. This process is done through tender. Rajasthan Co-operative Dairy Federation Limited of Jaipur fills tender. The jodhpur union is catering to four ASC centers at present. They are jodhpur, jaisalmer, jessai and Pokaran. The contract is made through RCDF and rates at which supply is decided keeping in mind the prevailing market price at that time. The army pays the transportation cost or as is the case with pokaran ASC the army vehicle comes to collect the milk from the chilling centre. The details for supply are given in the table below:
ASC CENTER SUPPLY FROM AVE.SUPPLY(LPD)approx
Jodhpur Jodhpur 5500Jaisalmer Pokaran 1000Jessai Barmer 900Pokaran Pokaran 500
Army supply details
From the chilling centers of pokaran and Barmer milk is supplied to ASC centers at jaisalmer and jessai respectively. Barmer center has started city supply since april 1997. Milk from pokaran is supplied in sealed cans to ASC, jaisalmer, while the other two centers (Barmer and jodhpur) supply packed milk to the ASC.
B)—PAYMENT AND INDENTING POLICY
22 | P a g e
Every booth has been allotted number, same as the booth registration number, in the jodhpur credit and co-operative Bank(JCCB). By 2 p.m ever day, the booth agent has to deposit the full amount for the quantity of milk he indents for the next day. The total indent list of the booths of all different rrouts reaches the dairy by 3p.m and accordingly the production department is given the target for the next day. However in the new indenting policy the transporter collects the indent for the next day and the money when he returns to the booths to collect the carats.
C) –COMMISSION AND INCENTIVE SCHEME
The commission to a both agent is ninety paisa per liter of milk sold. This commission gets accounted on a monthly basis and is then deposited in the agent’s account in the jodhpur Credit Co-operative Bank. There are no other incentive schemes for the agents at present.

PROCUREMENT AND SALES
Milk from the DCS is collected and brought to the six chilling at Balotra, Barmer, Phalodi, Pokaran, Merta city and Naguar as well as directly to the plant at jodhpur. From these chilling centers, milk is brought to the plant at jodhpur by milk tankers.
From a mere thirty-eight Dairy Co-operative Societies (DCS) at the village level in 1974, the union has been able to establish and organize 782 DCS, out of which 375 are functional as in 2003-04. The total memberships of all these DCS stand at 51797. There has been a remarkable increase in procurement during the Ist five years, from an average of 39987 LPD in 1999-2000 to 63293 LPD in 2003-04, an increase of 58 percent.
The table given below provides chilling centers wise procurement details of the milk procured. The average fat percentage in the milk procured by the union is 4.5%, the average SNF percentage being 8.5% the average SNF content was below 8.3% about six month ago and the union has to mix milk powder(SMP) in order to bring the level of SNFG up to 8.5%. however due to strict steps taken thereafter the SNF content has gone up now. According to the PFA (prevention of food act) standards minimum percentage of fat and SNF should be 3% & 8.5% respectively.
The collection of milk is contracted to transporters. The average transportation costs for the various chilling centers are providing in the Table.

SURVEY RESEARCH
A survey research is defined as the method of collecting information by
asking a set of pre formulated question in a predetermined sequence in a structured
questionnaire to a sample of individuals drawn so as to be representative of a
defined population. These questionnaires are administered to an individual or a
group of individual through interview. Typical survey objectives involved
describing or learning from an ongoing activity by studying the changes in
behavioral pattern of the subjects of interest of the researcher.
PROBLEMS / CONSTRUCTIONS / LIMITATIONS
Any research in any field topic gives some new results, discovering new
areas etc. but there are always some limitations thereof.
The limitations that I came across during the course of my training at Saras
Dairy, Jodhpur are:-
The data collected is totally depended on respondents’ view which could be
bias in nature.
Sometimes respondents’ do not give a response or give partial response. It is
called non response error. The reason may be lack of knowledge or
unwillingness to answer.
During the survey I came across unfavorable weather condition like
scorching heat and dust storm.
34 | P a g e
Method of survey research used by me: Door to Door interview.
There is the limited time available each day and lots of tasks have to
complete in a day like preparing a reports conducting surveys.
Transfers given by the respondents’ are not always correct and may be
misleading.
It is a very time consuming to go Door to Door in order to conduct a survey
of various homes and find their views and study their buying behavior.
Sometimes it becomes very difficult to convince people as many of them are
not at all aware of Saras products and some are very stubborn. It becomes
slightly difficult to convince such people but it is challenging task and a
good learning experience.
Being trainee, non confidential information about the organization is
available. This sometimes becomes a hurdle during the training.
In some cases the respondent is not present at home.
Sometimes the respondent are not executed, personal interviews are
successful only when the respondents are educated.
The limitations that Saras Dairy comes across are:

ANALYSIS OF SURVEY
Market for Dairy Industry is captive, as people will stop dairy products. In addition, the market for dairy products will keep on increase will the increase of awareness in the people. Increase in adulterated material is showing a new path to the large scale dairy industry. It also gives a huge employment to many unemployed. The main positive point for the Dairy industry is huge turnover and return with low investment.
Large scale dairy industry helps in social benefit by taking care the public health by selling fully Quality control products according to the norms of govt. The industry should also keep an eye on the Fake products produced by the company`s name Company should also see that their products are not sold beyond M.R.P.
During the last few years the dairy scenario has undergone a diversity change. Due to entry of other competitors, it has become necessary for saras to frame new strategic that enable them to survive and thrive in the long run. The whole concentration has thus shifted to ensure the customer services with maximum satisfaction of the customers.
Customer service in dairy sector refers to the satisfaction of need of the customers at the right time as per their requirements. The quality of customer service directly affects customers patronage as these companies are basically sellers of public utility services. Success or failure of these companies therefore, depends on the quality and the range of services offered to the customers.

undertaken during the training period gave an opportunity to study the system in detail and have an
insight into the organization marketing. The organization has a very well thought out organizational structure, streamlined procedure and well-motivated workforce.

As we know that SARAS is very big organization and market leader in dairy products. It has maximum market
share in Milk, As we know SARAS is a co-operative organization, With the help of research, company can
find out its week points in Dairy product and can increase its market share through rectify mistakes. People have
believed in SARAS’S product and they will accept
57 | P a g e
The survey resulted into following conclusions:
SARAS must come up with new promotional
activities such that people become aware about Ice-
cream,
Quality is the dominating aspect which influences
consumer to purchase SARAS product, but prompt
availability of other brands and aggressive
promotional activities by others influences the
consumer towards them and also leads to increase
sales.
In comparison to SARAS Products, the other
players such as Amul, and Krishna provide a
better availability and give competition to the hilt.
People are mostly satisfied with the overall quality
of SARAS Products, but for the existence in the local
market SARAS must use aggressive selling
techniques.
