Financial performance
Mother Dairy's turn over grew by 9 per cent in the last fiscal to about Rs 7,850 crore helped
by better sales in value-added dairy products and edible oils businesses.
Mother Dairy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB),
had posted a turnover of Rs 7,186 crore in 2015-16.
"Our turnover has increased by over 9 per cent to about Rs 7,850 crore during 2016-17
fiscal. In value-added dairy products and edible oils, our growth was nearly 20 per
cent," Mother Dairy Managing Director S Nagarajan told PTI.
The company sells value-added dairy products like ice cream, curd, paneer and ghee.
However, Nagarajan said the company's sales in fruits and vegetables segment remained
muted.
About 75-80 per cent of the company's sales come from dairy business, he said. The edible
oil business contributes about Rs 1,000 crore, while fruits and vegetables add about Rs
600-700 crore.

Swot analysis
The dairy industry has its own strengths and weaknesses to build on present
scenario for future growth. Strengths and weaknesses are the internalities of the
present situation of dairy industry within the country. Opportunities and threats are
the externalities of the future situation, not only within the country, but also
expected from outside the borders. The analysis attempts to identify the strengths
to meet the opportunities and the threats of the future and weaknesses are going to
Strengths
the world with highest milk production growth: Since 1998-99 India has emerged
as largest milk producer in the world with 75.4 MT (Million Tonnes) by surpassing
in last three decades, which far exceeds the average global growth of about 1%
(Singh, 2009). India produces 65.8% buffalo milk, 21.7% goat milk, 7.3% cow
milk, and 14.6% total milk of the total world milk production in respective
categories in year 2005 (F AO, 2007). India has attained the total milk production

weakness
Weaknesses Highest numbers of livestock with low milk productivity The structure of milk
production worldwide is diverse. The farming system differ in farm size (1-3000 cow per farm),
milk yield (< lOOOkg to > 10,000 kg I cow per lactation), feed basis, milking technology and
the linkage to the dairy chain. Small scale farms dominate the South Asia, Switzerland, Australia,
Norway, Finland and Poland whereas large farm provide most of the milk production in USA,
Israel, Argentina, Oceania, Hungry, Czech Republic, Estonia, Denmark, Netherlands and UK. In
India the livestock keeping system is more complex. According to the 2003 Census data, India,
had 485 million livestock population, have the second highest numbers of cattle (185 million),
the highest number of buffaloes (97 million), and second highest number of goats (124 million)
in the world. Despite being a largest milk producer, India has very low per cattle milk
productivity per lactation period. Per animal productivity in Indian dairy industry is the lowest in
Opportunities
India has large market and investment opportunity in dairy industry which is still not competitive
and has enough possibilities for higher profit on investment. The private sector investment is less
than the cooperative and government investment in milk processing and distribution. India has
one billion plus market which largest milk and milk product market in the world (Singh, 2009).
The food processing segment has shown highly positive performance for all food processing
companies. This sector has minimal effect of economic slow down. Therefore, India with a
29
Threats
Food safety is a major concern in India from the clean milk production to consumption by
consumer the whole chain has too many potential points of microbial and chemical
contamination. The farmers follow traditional milking and dairying practices where hygiene
practices and good dairy practices (GDPs) are not up to the mark. Farmers do not appropriately
clean the hand, milk bucket, milk cane, and other milk handling equipments at farm level. The
first environmental contact of milk, after coming out of udders, at farm level get exposed to
microbial contamination which affects milk shelf life as raw material as well as final milk
product. Therefore, the present scenario, at farm level for clean milk production, can not support
the food safety requirements for high quality milk and milk products which can be exported

CHAPTER-3
Literature Review
Rensis Likert has called motivation as the core of management. Motivation is the core of
the work force .It is the major task of every manager to motivate his subordinate or to create the
will to work among the subordinates .It should also be remembered that the worker may be
immensely capable of doing some work, nothing can be achieved if he is not willing to work
Motivation is an important function which very manager performs for actuating the people to
instructions and orders does not mean that they will be followed .A manager has to make
appropriate use of motivation to enthuse the employees to follow them. Effective motivation
succeeds not only in having an order accepted but also in gaining a determination to see that it is
In order to motivate workers to work for the organizational goals, the managers must determine
the motives or needs of the workers and provide an environment in which appropriate incentives
are available for their satisfaction .If the management is successful in doing so; it will also be
successful in increasing the willingness of the workers to work. This will increase efficiency and
effectiveness of the organization .There will be better utilization of resources and workers

Concept of Motivation
The word motivation has been derived from motive which means any idea, need or emotion that
prompts a man in to action. Whatever may be the behavior of man, there is some stimulus behind
it.Stimulus is dependent upon the motive of the person concerned. Motive can be known by
There is no universal theory that can explain the factors influencing motives which control mans
behavior at any particular point of time. In general, the different motives operate at different
times among different people and influence their behaviors. The process of motivation studies
Definition of Motivation
Significance of Motivation
Motivation involves getting the members of the group to pull weight effectively, to give their
loyalty to the group, to carry out properly the purpose of the organization. The following results
The workforce will be better satisfied if the management provides them with opportunities to
fulfill their physiological and psychological needs. The workers will cooperate voluntarily
with the management and will contribute their maximum towards the goals of the enterprise.
36
Workers will tend to be as efficient as possible by improving upon their skills and knowledge
so that they are able to contribute to the progress of the organization. This will also result in
increased productivity.
The rates of labor’s turnover and absenteeism among the workers will be low.
There will be good human relations in the organization as friction among the workers
themselves and between the workers and the management will decrease.
The number of complaints and grievances will come down. Accident will also be low.
There will be increase in the quantity and quality of products. Wastage and scrap will be less.
Better quality of products will also increase the public image of the business.

Theories of Motivation
Understanding what motivated employees and how they were motivated was the focus of many
researchers following the publication of the Hawthorne study results (Terpstra, 1979). Six major
approaches that have led to our understanding of motivation are Mcclelland’s Achievement Need
Theory, Behavior Modification theory; Abraham H Mallows need hierarchy or Deficient theory
of motivation. J.S. Adam’s Equity Theory, Vrooms Expectation Theory, Two factor Theory.
38
Abraham H Maslow Need Hierarchy or Deficient theory of Motivation.
The intellectual basis for most of motivation thinking has been provided by behavioral scientists,
A.H Maslow and Frederick Heizberg, whose published works are the “Bible of Motivation”.
Although Maslow himself did not apply his theory to industrial situation, it has wide impact for
beyond academic circles. Douglous Mac Gregor has used Maslow’s theory to interpret specific
The crux of Maslow’s theory is that human needs are arranged in hierarchy composed of five
categories. The lowest level needs are physiological and the highest levels are the self
actualization needs. Maslow starts with the formation that man is a wanting animal with
hierarchy of needs of which some are lower ins scale and some are in a higher scale or system of
values. As the lower needs are satisfied, higher needs emerge. Higher needs cannot be satisfied
unless lower needs are fulfilled. A satisfied need is not a motivator. This resembles the standard
economic theory of diminishing returns. The hierarchy of needs at work in the individual is
today a routine tool of personnel trade and when these needs are active, they act as powerful
Hierarchy of needs; the main needs of men are five. They are physiological needs, safety needs,
social needs, ego needs and self actualization needs, as shown in order of their importance.
Self- Actualization
Ego Needs
Social Needs
39
Safety Needs
Physiological Needs
The above five basic needs are regarded as striving needs which make a person do things. The
first model indicates the ranking of different needs. The second is more helpful in indicating how
the satisfaction of the higher needs is based on the satisfaction of lower needs. It also shows how
the number of person who has experienced the fulfillment of the higher needs gradually tapers
off.
Physiological or Body Needs: - The individual move up the ladder responding first to the
physiological needs for nourishment, clothing and shelter. These physical needs must be equated
with pay rate, pay practices and to an extent with physical condition of the job.
Safety: - The next in order of needs is safety needs, the need to be free from danger, either from
other people or from environment. The individual want to assured, once his bodily needs are
satisfied, that they are secure and will continue to be satisfied for foreseeable feature. The safety
needs may take the form of job security, security against disease, misfortune, old age etc as also
against industrial injury. Such needs are generally met by safety laws, measure of social security,
Social needs: - Going up the scale of needs the individual feels the desire to work in a cohesive
group and develop a sense of belonging and identification with a group. He feels the need to love
40
and be loved and the need to belong and be identified with a group. In a large organization it is
not easy to build up social relations. However close relationship can be built up with at least
some fellow workers. Every employee wants to feel that he is wanted or accepted and that he is
Ego or Esteem Needs: - These needs are reflected in our desire for status and recognition,
respect and prestige in the work group or work place such as is conferred by the recognition of
one’s merit by promotion, by participation in management and by fulfillment of workers urge for
e.g.; need for achievement, self confidence, knowledge, competence etc. On the job, this means
praise for a job but more important it means a feeling by employee that at all times he has the
Self realization or Actualization needs: - This upper level need is one which when satisfied

Need for Achievement (n Ach);
This need is the strongest and lasting motivating factor. Particularly in case of persons who
satisfy the other needs. They are constantly pre occupied with a desire for improvement and lack
for situation in which successful outcomes are directly correlated with their efforts. They set
more difficult but achievable goals for themselves because success with easily achievable goals

Alderfer, expanding on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, created the ERG theory. This theory posits
that there are three groups of core need — existence, relatedness, and growth, hence the label:
ERG theory. The existence group is concerned with providing our basic material existence
requirements. They include the items that Maslow considered to be physiological and safety
needs. The second group of needs is those of relatedness- the desire we have for maintaining
important interpersonal relationships. These social and status desires require interaction with
43
others if they are to be satisfied, and they align with Maslow's social need and the external
intrinsic desire for personal development. These include the intrinsic component from Maslow's
According to this theory people behavior is the outcome of favorable and unfavorable past
circumstances. This theory is based on learning theory. Skinner conducted his researches among
rats and school children. He found that stimulus for desirable behavior could be strengthened by
rewarding it at the earliest. In the industrial situation, this relevance of this theory may be found
More immediate is the reward and stimulation or it motivates it. Withdrawal of reward incase of
low standard work may also produce the desired result. However, researches show that it is
generally more effective to reward desired behavior than to punish undesired behavior.
Employee compares her/his job inputs outcome ratio with that of reference. If the employee
perceives inequity, she/he will act to correct the inequity: lower productivity, reduced quality,
44
Vroom’s theory is based on the belief that employee effort will lead to performance and
performance will lead to rewards (Vroom, 1964). Reward may be either positive or negative. The
more positive the reward the more likely the employee will be highly motivated. Conversely, the
more negative the reward the less likely the employee will be motivated.
Douglas McGregor introduced the theory with the help of two views; X assumptions are

Types of Motivation
45
Intrinsic motivation occurs when people are internally motivated to do something because it
either brings them pleasure, they think it is important, or they feel that what they are learning is
significant. It has been shown that intrinsic motivation for education drops from grades 3-9
though the exact cause cannot be ascertained. Also, in younger students it has been shown that
contextualizing material that would otherwise be presented in an abstract manner increases the
Starting from studies involving more than 6,000 people, Professor Steven Reiss has proposed a
theory that finds 16 basic desires that guide nearly all human behavior. The desires are:
Acceptance, the need for approval Physical activity, the need for exercise
Curiosity, the need to learn Power, the need for influence of will
46
In this model, people differ in these basic desires. These basic desires represent intrinsic desires
that directly motivate a person's behavior, and not aimed at indirectly satisfying other desires.
People may also be motivated by non-basic desires, but in this case this does not relate to deep
Extrinsic motivation comes into play when a student is compelled to do something or act a
certain way because of factors external to him or her (like money or good grades).
Whyte researched and reported about the importance of locus of control and academic
achievement. Students tending toward a more internal locus of control are more academically
motivation theories.
Motivation has been found to be an important element in the concept of Andragogy (what
motivates the adult learner), and in treating Autism Spectrum Disorders, as in Pivotal Response
Therapy
Incentives
An incentive is something which stimulates a person towards some goal. It activates human
needs and creates the desire to work. Thus, an incentive is a means of motivation. In
Man is a wanting animal. He continues to want something or other. He is never fully satisfied. If
one need is satisfied, the other need need arises. In order to motivate the employees, the
47
management should try to satisfy their needs. For this purpose, both financial and non financial
incentives may be used by the management to motivate the workers. Financial incentives or
motivators are those which are associated with money. They include wages and salaries, fringe
benefits, bonus, retirement benefits etc. Non financial motivators are those which are not
associated with monetary rewards. They include intangible incentives like ego-satisfaction, self-

and an uninitiated manager may not even know where to start. As a guideline, there are broadly
49
Effective discipline and punishment
Restructuring jobs
Essentially, there is a gap between an individual’s actual state and some desired state and the
manager tries to reduce this gap. Motivation is, in effect, a means to reduce and manipulate this
gap.
A technique helps people to achieve excellence. The techniques should also be human. Fear,
manipulation, or unreal promises can induce people to put bursts of energy into their work. Such
negative techniques are powerfully effective, but they damage people and Firm. Negative
approaches are unnecessary in naturally motivating environments. But, great success is limited to
50
a few people and Firm. Ideally, motivating techniques should help people in common place
situations to achieve excellence, without hurting their own self respect and well being. Tradition,
training and their sense of duty generally induce ordinary people to try and contribute their best.
Motivating techniques should help them to improve on their innate aspirations and achieve
flow.
Flow is a state of mind, where people become totally immersed in their tasks and lose all sense
of time. It is a state, where people work for the pure enjoyment of completing the task and not
for any external reward. Research has shown that people achieve flow, when they feel that they
are in control of tasks, which are goal directed, provide feedback and give them a sense of
meaning. Studies indicate that flow does not require engagement in creative or artistic tasks.
Flow has been shown to be experienced even in tasks such as analyzing data, or filling out
income tax returns. Motivation techniques which achieve flow benefit the employee and the
organization.

Data Findings
The suggestions for the findings from the study are follows
Most of the employees agree that the performance appraisal activities are helpful to get
motivated, so the company should try to improve performance appraisal system, so that
they can improve their performance.
Non financial incentive plans should also be implemented; it can improve the
productivity level of the employees.
Organization should give importance to communication between employees and gain co-
ordination through it.

CONCLUSION

Conclusion
The study concludes that, the motivational program procedure in Mother Dairy; Pilkhuwa is
found effective but not highly effective. The study on employee motivation highlighted so many
factors which will help to motivate the employees. The study was conducted among 100
employees and collected information through structured questionnaire. The study helped to
findings which were related with employee motivational programs which are provided in the
organization.
The performance appraisal activities really play a major role in motivating the employees of the
organization. It is a major factor that makes an employee feels good in his work and results in his
satisfaction too. The organization can still concentrate on specific areas which are evolved from
this study in order to make the motivational programs more effective. Only if the employees are
properly motivated- they work well and only if they work well the organization is going to
benefit out it. Steps should be taken to improve the motivational programs procedure in the
future. The suggestions of this report may help in this direction.

LIMITATION

Limitation of the Study

not be accurate.
The sample taken for the study was only 100 and the results drawn may not be accurate.
Since the organization has strict control, it acts as another barrier for getting data.
