Acknowledgement

I take this opportunity to place on my grateful thanks and sincere gratitude to the organization

INDIAN FARMERS FERTILIZERS COOPERATIVE LTD. (IFFCO) for providing me a

wonderful chance of working in a prestigious company.

Any attempt at any level can never be satisfactorily completed without expert guidance. I would

like to thank Mr. M.P Sharma, Manager(Instrumentation) for giving me a lot of their precious

time and inputs to make this project. His deep knowledge and understanding of the topic is an

inspiration to one and all. My study could not have been completed if I had not been able to get

all the valuable data and reference materials from the company.

I am also thankful to other members of the Instrumentation Department for making available all

the resources required for the completion of this project report.

IFFCO – The Organization

Indian Farmers Fertiliser Co-operative Limited (IFFCO) was registered on November 3, 1967 as

a Multi-unit Co-operative Society. It was a unique venture in which the farmers of the

country through their own Co-operative Societies created this new institution to safeguard

their interests. The numbers of co-operative societies associated with IFFCO have risen from 57

in 1967 to 38, 155 at present. On the enactment of the Multistate Cooperative Societies act 1984

& 2002, the Society is deemed to be registered as a Multistate Cooperative Society. The byelaws

of the Society provide a broad frame work for the activities of IFFCO as a Cooperative Society.

IFFCO commissioned an Ammonia - urea complex at Kalol and the NPK/DAP plant at Kandla

both in the state of Gujarat in 1975. Another Ammonia - urea complex was set up at Phulpur in

the state of Uttar Pradesh in 1981. The ammonia - urea unit at Aonla was commissioned in 1988.

In 1993, IFFCO had drawn up a major expansion programme of all the four plants under overall

aegis of IFFCO VISION 2000. The expansion projects at Aonla, Kalol, Phulpur and Kandla have

been completed on schedule. Thus all the projects conceived as part of Vision 2000 have been

realised without time or cost overruns. All the production units of IFFCO have established a

reputation for excellence and quality.

A new growth path has been chalked out to realise newer dreams and greater heights through

Vision 2010 which is presently under implementation. As part of the new vision, IFFCO has

acquired fertiliser unit at Paradeep in Orissa in September 2005. As a result of these expansion

projects and acquisition, IFFCO's annual capacity has been increased to 3.69 million tonnes of

Urea and NPK/DAP equivalent to 1.71 million tonnes of P2O5.

Vision

To augment the incremental incomes of farmers by helping them to increase their crop

productivity through balanced use of energy efficient fertilizers, maintain the environmental

health and to make cooperative societies economically & democratically strong for

professionalized services to the farming community to ensure an empowered rural India.

The Approach

To achieve their mission, IFFCO as a cooperative society, undertakes several activities covering

a broad spectrum of areas to promote welfare of member cooperatives and farmers. The activities

The Commitment

The thirst for ever improving the services to farmers and member co-operatives is insatiable,

commitment to quality is insurmountable and harnessing of mother earths' bounty to drive

hunger away from India in an ecologically sustainable manner is the prime mission.
