On 6 th March, 2014 in evening student attended session Skill Gap & Reality Check by Dr. Rajesh Khajuria, and Spiritual Talk by respected Harisharn Swami & Sugnay Swami on Theory of Karma at Haridham Sokhda. The day started like any other with most of the students making the most of the early morning and waking up by 07.00 and a long day lay ahead, entailing a visit to the IRMA & AMUL Factory in Anand. A big bus filled with students from ATMIYA, with a higher proportion of MBA Semester-2 students as compared to MAM, reached the IRMA by 11.15am and session about the establishment of IRMA and discuss the teaching, learning pedagogy, the role of students and faculty, social entrepreneurship, rural management and learning practices straight forwardly delivered by Prof. Hitesh Bhatt and Prof. Payal Manari and then we left for the visit AMUL factory reached by 2:00 pm. The visit started with a short session conducted by the PR Officer of the AMUL plant. Within a small time span of 30 minutes, he covered the entire AMUL story. Right from its origin, to the story behind the AMUL butter girl and the operations of the factory at Anand. Many students asked questions associated with the operations, organization and marketing of the products, and most of the answers talked about implementation of the knowledge gained in class. Post this session, we were taken on a visit of the plant. It started off with us observing a huge display of all AMUL products, and most of us were surprised to see that the product range was more diverse than we had ever anticipated. Awestruck, we went around the plant to see the assembly line where milk powder and butter were manufactured. For a lot of us, it was the first time that we got to see an assembly line in action, which we have studied about in detail in our Operations Management class. For 15 minutes, the entire group kept peering in through the glass panes at the butter getting cut into cubes, and getting packaged at unbelievable speeds. For almost 2 hours we observed the operations of the plant and then proceeded to AMUL, only after we binged on the AMUL products to our hearts content. The entire journey was an amazing experience for all the students, and not one that we would forget in the near future. After all, the AMUL girl has been around us since as long as we can remember, and we are pretty sure that she is here to stay eternally.

INDUSTRIAL VISIT REPORT By- Krutarth Trambadia Kamal Dave Event: Industrial visit to Kishan Autoparts Pvt. Ltd. & Everest Namkeen Pvt. Ltd. Event Coordinator: Dr. Hitesh Kumar Shah, Mr. Pratik Paun, Mr. Piyush Soni & Mrs. Komal Patel Department: Masters in Applied Management. Date: 15 th April 2014 No. of Participants: 67
Summary of the event :- Atmiya Institute of Technology and Science had organized an industrial visit to the Lodhika GIDC- Metoda situated in the outskirts of Rajkot for the students of MAM-2 nd / 4 th Semester to let them gain an insight of functioning of B to B industry Kishan Autoparts Pvt. Ltd. and the polar opposite of being an FMCG goods manufacturing industry viz. Everest Namkeen Pvt. Ltd. Students along with the faculties left the campus for the first destination Kishan Forge Pvt. Ltd. (a unit of Kishan Autoparts Pvt. Ltd.). There the students were bifurcated into two groups. They had an on foot tour of the unit accompanied by the HR manager Mr. Vishal Mehta. The inquisitive students were satisfied by the chunks of the information they gained about the automobile industry from raw material & manufacturing to sales & marketing. The matter of the fact is that Kishan Autoparts. Pvt. Ltd. are at no. 1 position in terms of types of connecting rods at world level. Kishan Autoparts Pvt. Ltd.
Footnotes:
Industry: Automobile Product: 420+ types of Connecting Rods. Manufacturing Process: Forging Competitors: Power Industries Ahmedabad, etc. No. of employees: 450 (20- Top Management) Pricing Segment: 1000 Rs. to 4000 Rs. Approximately. Major Markets: Mainly Germany, UK, USA. Manufacturing Capacity: 6000 units/day Yearly Turnover: 40 crores.
Then the students had a transit to the next destination Everest namkeen. Immediately after reaching there students were divided into groups consisting of 11 students each accompanied by a person of top management. The premises was divided into three units and each group took a tour of every unit one after the other. Everest Namkeen Pvt. Ltd.
Footnotes:
Industry: FMCG Product: 70+ types of Snacks. Manufacturing Process: Baking, Frying, Packaging. Competitors: Balaji, Gopal, etc. No. of employees: 400 (10 Top management) Pricing Segment: 5 Rs. to 30 Rs. Per packet Major Markets: 14 states of India along with 30% of market share in Gujarat.

Conclusion: The common catch that students got at both the industries was Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful man with talent, Genius will not: unrewarded genius is almost a proverb, Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and Determination alone are OMNIPOTENT We are thankful to Pujya Tyagvallabh Swamiji for encouraging co-curricular activities in the institute, Head of the department Dr. Sandip Solanki for giving opportunity to learn subjects with practical perspective and all the faculty members for inculcating values in us. Persistence is to the character of Man as Carbon is to Steel.
