 PREFACE

In this Project I have studied “LEVEL OF EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION IN PARAG

(LUCKNOW MILK PRODUCERS CO-OPERATIVE UNION).” Managing human

resources in today’s dynamic environment is becoming more and more complex as well as

important. Recognition of people as a valuable resource in the organization leads the

increasing trend of employee maintenance, job security, etc.

Better working conditions are essential to the region's economic and social progress. Many of

the policies made have a bearing on our employment, working, and living conditions,

"Hence, the voice of working men and women needs to be heard while formulating a policy."

The workers are lobbying for policies that promote employment, good working conditions,

labor standards, transparency, accountability, and participation. My research project deals

with “LEVEL OF EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION IN PARAG (LUCKNOW MILK

PRODUCERS CO-OPERATIVE UNION) In this report, I have studied & evaluated that; Are

employees satisfied with their job or not? The primary objective so far understood behind the

summer training is to compliment the university teaching with practical orientation and

exposure to industrial plants. The need for such training lies behind the necessity of

influencing a sense of professionalism in the budding professionals of tomorrow.

It is mandatory for every student of “Master of Business Administration” from institute of

“DSMNRU, LUCKNOW” to undergo summer training at organization location with a project

on live problem. I was thus assigned summer training at PARAG (Lucknow Producer’s Co-

Operative Milk Union Ltd.), for 7 weeks.

My training has been a fruitful experience for me. Now I have a broad idea of the functioning

of organization and this will be very help full for me in the coming days.

 (1) INTRODUCTION

Introduction Employee Satisfaction:

Employee satisfaction is essential to the success of any business. A high rate of employee
contentedness is directly related to a lower turnover rate. Thus, keeping employees’ satisfied
with their careers should be a major priority for every employer. While this is a well-known
fact in management practices, economic downturns like the current one seem to cause
employers to ignore it. There are numerous reasons why employees can become discouraged
with their jobs and resign, including high stress, lack of communication within the company,
or limited opportunity for growth. Management should actively seek to improve these factors
if they hope to lower their turnover rate. Even in an economic downturn, turnover is an
expense best avoided.

Objectives of the study:

The main objective of my study is to check the level of employee satisfaction in Parag

milk union, Lucknow and to know its positive or negative impact on the working of dairy, in

order to complete my M.B.A. research.

If I find any amount of dissatisfaction form employees’ side, I will try best in order to

forward those points of dissatisfaction to the authority concerned, so that they can take the

necessary actions in order to remove the maximum points of dissatisfaction of the employees.

This positive action will definitely improve the level of employee satisfaction and their

productivity too, which is always the main objective of any organization and lead to the

growth of the company.

8
  To identify the values that support creativity and innovation in the organization.
 To focus on knowing trust relationship among the employees.
 To give feasible suggestion regarding improvement of employee satisfaction at all
level in organization.
 To know the welfare measures and living environment provided for the employees.
 To identify the conditions in which the individuals are most like to use intuition in
decision-making.

Scope of the study:

In the survey an attempt has been made to analyze the job satisfaction of employees of Parag
Lucknow.
The study tries to understand the level of satisfaction among the employee of Parag Lucknow.
It further explains the area on which employees are mostly dissatisfied. Job satisfaction of the
employees has been analyzed on the basis of the following job related factors:
 Salary and monetary benefits
 Job security
 Promotion policy
 Employees participation in management
 Employee retrenchment
 Employee separations policies
 Nature of job
 Freedom of expressions
 Superior and sub-ordinate relations
 Medical facilities and employee insurance policy
 Retirement policy etc.

The sources and effect of stress:

Stress is one of the leading causes of employees’ discontentment with their job. Branham
(2005) asserts that, “it seems clear that one quarter to one half of all workers are feeling some
level of dissatisfaction due to stress, which is undoubtedly having a negative impact on their
productivity and the probability that will stay with their employers”.

Factors causing stress:

 Organizational stressors
 Individual stressors
 Group stressors
 Extra organizational stressors

Stress can have many causes, including when company do not supply the tools necessary to
produce or work efficiency while on the job. This producer higher stress levels because these
workers are expected to perform at certain rates, yet they are unable to do so.

9
Another source of stress is the now common practice of employers which attempts to cut
costs by eliminating positions and disbursing the work load to other employees. The issue
that arises is that task will not be performed effectively or efficiently because the employees
became more concerns with having an overbearing workload, the efforts of these employees
failed to reach their own, or their employers’, standards. These actions and employee
responses to them, result in employees who attempt to finish incomplete work assignments
during personal time, such as lunch breaks, in an effort to keep their job. When a company
expects their employees to perform outside normal working hours, it detracts from those
employee’s relaxation time.

Harassment in any form may cause a new level of stress for the employee. It becomes
increasingly difficult to do a respectable job at work when one is consistently faced with an
uncomfortable working environment. These anxiety is caused by trying to avoid trouble some
confrontation and situations. Workers may agonize about the consequences they would face if
the harassment where to be reported, as well as the repercussion of not reporting it.

Why should an employer care?

It is important that employer about the happiness of their employees. Recent statistics show
that throughout their carriers, American workers hold an average of eight jobs (Rude
man,2003). The rate of turnover because employees are unhappy is alarming. Even is an
economy downturn, employers must spend an enormous amount of money recruiting new
employees, going through the hiring process and finally training new employees.
Dissatisfaction has many negative sides effects for the company, while satisfaction results in
a much better retention rate. The effects of these satisfaction that results in an employee’s
withdraw job and company can range from mild to saver. This withdraw behavior, when
evidence of these satisfaction, may end with an employee leaving the work place. Therefore,
withdrawal will lead either to the employee voluntarily leaving the organization or being
terminated for unprofessional behavior.

Happiness in the workplace leads to much higher levels of productivity it increases

employee moral; there for employees are more willing to work harder to improve the
company and its goals.
According to Branaham (2005),
“Gallup studies so that business with higher employees’ satisfaction also have:
 86% higher customer rating
 76% more success in lowering turnover
 70% higher profitability
 44% higher profitability
 78% better safety records.”
Companies need good, knowledgeable employee’s. if these employees are not treated fairly
they are going to take advantage of other job offers that will provide more stability, more
benefits and more compensation.

10
Sources of employee satisfaction:

 Job
 Salary and benefits
 Carrier development
 Supervision
 Working condition
 Team work

Conclusion

Management should have a positive effect on and seek to support the happiness of, the firm’s
employees. Reason for these are not solely to benefit the employees as companies also stand
to gain from employee satisfaction. In an economic environment like the current one,
employers often disregard the costs associated with unhappy employees, seemingly believing
that these employees are stuck in their current positions and will tolerate unpleasant working
environment. This, however, is not the case.

 (2) REVIEW LITERATURE

According to Nancy C. Morse (1997) “Satisfaction refers to the level of fulfilment of one’s
need, wants and desire. Satisfaction depends basically upon what an individual want from the
world, and what he gets”. Employee satisfaction is a measure of how happy workers are with
their job and working environment.
It is sure that there may be many factors affecting the organizational effectiveness and one of
them is the employee satisfaction. Effective organizations should have a culture that
encourages the employee satisfaction, Bhatti and Qureshi (2007)

Employee satisfaction is the terminology used to describe whether employees are happy,
contended and fulfilling their desires and needs at work. Many measures support that
employee satisfaction is a factor in employee motivation, employee goal achievement and
positive employee morale in work place.

According to Moyes, Shao and Newsome (2008), the employee satisfaction may be
described as how pleased an employee is with his or her position of employment.
As Spector (1997) defined job satisfaction as all the feelings that a given individual has
about his/her job and its various aspects. Employee satisfaction is a comprehensive them
that comprise job satisfaction of employees and their satisfaction overall with company
policies, company environment etc.
Employees are more loyal and productive when they are satisfied and these satisfied
employees affect the organizational productivity, Potter Field (1999).
There is no limit for the employees to reach the full satisfaction and it may vary from
employee to employee. Some time they need to change their behaviors in order to execute
their duties more effectively to gain greater job satisfaction, Miller, (2006).
Having good relationship with the colleagues, high salary, good working conditions, training
and education opportunities, career developments or any other benefits may be related with
the increasing of employee satisfaction.

 DAIRY SCENARIO IN INDIA

Indian dairy is emerging as sunrise industry. India represent one of the world’s largest and

fast growing markets for milk and other products due to increasing disposable incomes

among 275 million middle class. The country is being changed after the end of 2000 A.D. as

the world’s number one in milk production. The reason being that, it is rural based, land

saving and gender natural composed to the drop production to offers more favorable

opportunities of employment. Dairy farming provides substantial source of the landless

labour as.

Dairy development in India has been acknowledged the world over as one of modern India’s

most successful developmental Programmer. India is the world’s largest producer of milk at

74 million tones; it is over three million tones in excess of what is produced in the U.S. The

per yield cattle in India is around three liters a day. Further, in the U.S. Nearly 70% of dairy

items produced are value added products and the balance is sold s milk. In India, the situation

is quite reverse.

Well as marginal farmer.

During the last 25 years, we have moved from a situation of scarcity and rationing of milk to

a scenario in which milk has been increasing at a rate faster than the rate of increasing of

population. There is large and rising domestic demand both for milk and

Milk products with an expanding middle income group, there exist a market for value added

products, especially in the cities and towns. There is also the possibility and covering surplus

20
into conventional milk products like casein is not only import to developed countries. Modern

scientific processing technology and marginal incursion are opening up best opportunities in

processing and marketing of various kind of value assess milk flavored, ice cream, cheese

and other delicacies.

The emerging consumption patterns present new challenges for the dairy industry. The

strategy is now shifting from distribution to sales and marketing extreme permissibility’s of

milk and possibilities of its contamination necessitate rapid movement of milk difficult.

Indian dairy market is multi layered shaped like pyramid with the base made up of vast

market for low cost milk. The narrow tip is small but affluent market for western type milk

products. Presently, rarely 782 out of 3700 cities and towns are served by its milk distribution

dispatching hygienically packed whole some quality of pasteurized milk.

Currently, consumption of liquid milk accounts for about 46% of the total production of milk.

The remaining 54% is utilized for conversion to milk products. Of this the, share of, the

organized sector is less than 10%. The production of milk product is increasing at the rate of

about 5% yearly. Among the products manufactured by the organized sector are ghee, butter,

cheese, ice creams, milk powders, malted milk food, condensed milk, infant foods etc. Of

these Ghee (Clarified Butter) alone accounts for 85%, industry has also introduced a number

of new products such as case in, lactose, dairy whiteners, different varieties of cheese etc. and

is exporting certain milk products

The manufacturing of milk product is concentrated in this milk surplus. The top six states viz

Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujrat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka,

Tamil Nadu , Together Account For 58% Of National Production

21
About 75%Of Milk is consumed At the House hold Level, Which is not a Part of Commercial

dairy industry. Loose milk has a largest in India as it is perceived to be fresh by more

consumers. In reality, however, it poses a higher risk of adulteration and contamination.

Although milk production has grown at a fast pace during the last three decades (Courtesy

Operation Flood), milk yield per animal is very low. The main reasons for the low yield are:-

 Lack of use of scientific practices in mulching.

 Inadequate availability of fodder in all seasons.

Of the three A’s of marketing ACCEPTIBILITY, AVAILABILITY and AFFORDABILITY,

Indian dairy is already with first two A’s. People in India love to drink milk. Hence, no effort

are needed to make it acceptable, its availability is not a limitation either because of ample

production. It leaves the third vital marketing factor AFFORDABILITY. How to make it

affordable for the majority with the limited purchasing power? This is the essence of the

challenge.

 THE ORGANIZATION - PRADESHIK CO-
OPERTIVE DAIRY FEDERATION
(PCDF)

Pradeshik Co-Operative Dairy Federation (PCDF) is the apex body for implementation of

the operation food plan in Uttar Pradesh. It works on the three -tier patterns. It collects milk

collection and marketing of milk in northern India region. Milk Collection rate of 8.65 lakhs

of liters per day in February 1995 and 7.67 lakhs of liters per day in March 1995 were the

highest recorded till date. An average sales figure of 4.58 lacks of liters per day was also

HISTORY OF PRADESHIK CO-OPERATIVE DAIRY

FEDERATION

The history of co-operative dairy industry in U.P. dates back to 1917, when the “Karta Co-

operative Milk Society “Allahabad was established. LMPU was established in 1938 as the first

step towards organized dairy development Program all over India. At the time of independence 4

milk supply schemes were operating in Lucknow, Allahabad and Varanasi and Kanpur cities. The

Agra co-operative dairy came into existence in the second five year plans, while the dairy of

Dehradun, Bareilly, Gorakhpur and Mathura were adopted later on.

The apex institute of dairy co-operative was registered under the name of ‘PCDF’ (Pradeshik

Co-operative Dairy Federation) in the year 1962 during the fourth five-year plan Aligarh,

Meerut and Haridwar were also proposed to be included in the scheme. The govt. of U.P. also

entrusted PCDF with the responsibility of implementing the operation flood I scheme in

1973. The main trust of operation flood-1 was to establish co-operative structure in some of

the best milk sheds located in ten states, UP being one of them.

24
Operation flood 1, 2, 3 were started in UP with the following objectives:

 Removing the middle men between the producers and the customers by the

procurement of the milk directly through village co-operative society.

 To increase the production of milk from milking animals by providing inputs to the

producers.

 To arrange the supply of liquid milk in the major cities of UP.

 For carrying out the whole program successfully and for planning, implementation,

follow up and the maintenance etc. an effective organization structure has been

charted out.

25
 PARAG DAIRY-MARCH TOWARDS EXCELLENCE

Lucknow is the capital city of Uttar Pradesh. Total area of district is 2528 square km.91588

hectare is cultivated land. Wheat and rice are the main agriculture productions of district.69%

of farmers are small and medium level farmer who have about 1-acre land each. Lucknow

producers’ co-operative milk union limited, Lucknow (Parag dairy, Lucknow) was

established in India. Very few people know the fact that the process developed by Lucknow

milk union (LMU) was later used in spirit in Gujarat cooperative milk movement and is now

famous as” Annand Pattern”. LMU was then chosen as one of the model dairy to implement

operation flood program started by the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in

1970.Present handling capacity of plant is Rs. 1,50,000/-

The aim of LMU is to provide reasonable price to farmers thereby defending them from

exploitation of milk vendors and earn supplementary income apart from agriculture. On the

other hand the milk union supplies high quality pure milk and milk products at reasonable

prices to urban consumers under the brand name “PARAG”. The milk union has UPDASP

where milk producers have been educated in producing and supplying milk under clean and

hygienic conditions and provided the producers with semen of pure Indian breed for

improvement of present breed of animals.

LMU has set up of teams for “Quality Check and Health Awareness Programmed “for the

urban cons makers of milk. The teams visited different localities in city, tests their milk and

provides on the spot results to the consumers. The milk union also organizes school children’s

26
visit to its dairy plant to create awareness on milk processing and other related systems

amongst them. The milk union in its endeavor towards achieving excellence is in the process

of obtaining ISO & HACCP CERTIFICATION.

For coming months, LMU has committed itself to provide a minimum of 1, 20,000 liters of

high quality “PARAG “milk per day to the urban consumers. Apart from selling milk in

pouches, the milk union is also gearing itself to provide fresh loose milk to the city

consumers. Towards this end, the milk supply vehicles insulated with Japanese eco-friendly

standards have already been introduced in some areas of the city. All Time Milk Booths

(ATM) are being developed for supply of high quality milk to the consumers round the clock.

LMU is able to maintain high quality standards in its milk and milk products through close

monitoring of processes in all its stages of production, processing and packaging. The

constant increase in the sales figures of the milk union are a reflection of pour sincere efforts

and the growing confidence of the consumer in PARAG Milk Products.

The organization has a chain of around 2000 agents providing employment to the

unemployed youths. It is starting “Door to Door Milk Delivery System” through mini

insulated tanker through commission agents with attractive commission rates.

This system has already been started in Jankipuram, Cantonment, and Badshehnagar area and

is soon going to be extended to other areas of the city. The requirement of this system is to

have a mini insulated tanker for which one has to arrange finances up to Rs. 50, 000/- himself

and rest amount comes through bank finance.

The new milk products by milk union such as CHHENA KHEER, BESAN LADDOO
AND AROGYA VARDHAK CHHACHH(BUTTER MILK), have begun tickling the
taste buds of the consumers giving them great pleasure and value for money.

 INTRODUCTION TO DAIRY CO-OPERATIVE

For long years’ milk production in the country has been characterized by small – scale

production of milk by most farmers has made milk producers. This was an important reason

for the Kaira Union & its success. Unions which came in Gujarat during the 1955’s acquired

greater significance that traditional dairy co-operative the reason being, they tuned in with the

processes of modernization and commercialization.

Between 1948 & 1957 the Kaira Union grew from 250 liters from 5 villages’ societies to

50,000 liters from 9000 village’s societies It was therefore, inevitable that they attracted

growing attention of policy makers. Towards the end of 1960’s the lessons of the Gujarat

Dairy Co-operative Movement thus begain to get incorporated in the official policy towards

dairy development. The government of India entrusted the National Dairy Development

Board (NDDB) with task of implementing Operation Flood (OF) which involved creation of

Anand pattern or Amul type co-operative unions in 17 districts of the country.

31
 OPERATION FLOOD –I(1970-81)

Operation Flood was the result of an organized attempt directed towards the development of

the dairy industry in India. The program has laid emphasis on setting up of Anand Patten

rural milk products co-operative organization to procure process and market milk and to

provide some of the essential technical services for increasing milk with the world program.

The emerging consumption pattern presents new challenging for the dairy industry. The

strategy is now shifting from distribution to sales and marketing. Extreme perishability of

milk and possibilities of its contamination necessitate rapid movement of milk.

Indian dairy market is multi-layered shaped like a pyramid with the base made up of vast

market for western type milk products. Presently, rarely 778 out of 3,700 cities & town are

served by its milk distribution network dispensing hygienically packed wholesome, quality

pasteurized milk.

Of the three A’s of marketing availability, acceptability & affordability, Indian dairying

already endowed with the first, people in India love to drink milk, hence, no efforts are

needed to make it acceptable, its availability is not a limitation either. Because of ample

production; it leaves the third vital marketing factor affordability, how to make affordable for

the majority of consumers with limited purchasing power? This is essence of the challenge.

New emerging daily market will focus on: -

a) FOOD SERVICE INSTITUTIONAL MARKET.

It is growing at double the rate of consumer market.

32
b) DEFENCE MARKET: -

an important growing market for quality products used as raw material in pharmaceutical and

allied industries, India with her sizable dairy industries growing rapidly and is on the path of

modernization would have decades to come. (WFF)undertook to provide as aid 12600 tones

of Butter Oil(BO)for financing the program.

The program organized dairy co-operative at the village level providing and production

enhancement of city set dairies. the main thrust was to setup dairy co-operatives in the milk

sheds, so as to link them to the four metro cities BOMBAY, DELHI, CALCUTTA &

MADRAS, in which a commanding share of the milk market were to be captured. The overall

objective was a modern dairy industry in India, which would adequately meet the country’s

need for milk product.

The object of OPERATION FLOOD- I was:

Removing the middlemen between the producer and consumer by the procurement of the

mild directly by the producer, directly through village co-operative society.

33
 OPERATION FLOOD II(1981-85)

the successful replication of Anand Patten of a three tier co-operative structure of societies,

union & federation. the program was approved by the Government of India for

implementation during the sixth plan period, with an outlay for Rs.273 crores. An about US$

150 million was provided by the World Bank & the balance in the form of commodity

assistance from the expanded number of Village Co-operative societies to 34,500 covering 36

lakh farmer number. The peak milk procurement increased to a level of 79-lakh liters per day

& marketing to 50-lakh liters per day.

OPERATION FLOOD III(1985-96)

The third phase aimed at consolidated gains of earlier phases. The main focus of the program

was on achievement financial viability of the milk union/state federation & adopting the

salient institutional characteristic of the “Anand Pattern Co-operative.” The Operation Flood

–III program was funded by a World Bank Credit loan of US$ 365 million, Rs.222.6 crore of

food aid by EEC & Rs. 207.7 crore by NddB’s own resources. The program covered some

 COMPANY PROFILE FOR LUCKNOW

PCDF was formed in 1962 with the aim to develop organized dairying in the State on
Cooperative lines PCDF's is a cohesive body that successfully does away with the
exploitative forces of years to years-the Middlemen. Therefore a direct link is established
between the producer and the ultimate consumer. This Apex Milk Cooperative draws its
inherent strength from the farmers committed participation, and injects corporate skills and
dynamic professionalism into what is fundamentally a traditional institution.

Over the years PCDF has expanded, diversified, channelized into new areas, over new
dimensions, onto new challenges. Today it features prominently in the National Milk Grid,
supplying Milk to Mother Dairy for sale in Delhi.

However, PCDF's achievement cannot be quantified in mere statistics. Its real sense of pride
lies in the fact that its farmer members are heading surely and steadily towards a prosperous
future and the knowledge that its consumers reaffirm their faith in Parag year after year. It is
in this context that PCDF's success is to be measured.

The dairy development in co-operative sector U.P. has long history with Karta co-operative

milk society of Allahabad organized in 1917.milk industry for the first time entered In the

Co-operative sector. PCDF is a pioneer in milk production in U.P. and based on “ANAND

PATTERN”.

Lucknow milk producers’ co-operative union (LMU) was established in 1938. It was an

autonomous body where milk was brought from nearby villages and processed.

In 1962 Pradeshik Co-operative Dairy Federation Ltd. (P.C.D.F.) was established by the

government. The aim was to remove the middleman from transactions between producers and

consumers and also to help the backward classes and villagers economically. The P.C.D.F.

took charge of LMU and other co-operative units of the state after its establishment. Its major

role is to provide technical knowledge to the people at LMU an.

The P.C.D.F’s functions are based on the objectives of the operation flood, which are to

increase the production of milk from matching animals, by providing the technical inputs to

the producers and to arrange the supply of liquid milk products in major cities of U.P. and

other state.

LMU has about 400 workers and 100 staff members. The GM to LMU is appointed by

P.C.D.F. but LMU has its own members of board. There is another office situated at a

distance of about 2 km from P.C.D.F., which is regional marketing office (RMO). The

regional manager heads it.

37
Dairy products are marked under the brand name “PARAG”. They have a considerable

market share in U.P. and other region in north and east. There has been an increase in the

market competition due to the establishment of many private dairies who have introduced

their own brand of milk products.

Amul products still have to face very tough competition in Lucknow “PARAG” due to the

efficient distribution network of marketing division of P.C.D.F.

38
 NEW DEVELOPMENTS

As a result of policy of liberalization and de-regulation of govt. of India the State

Government also head away with the licensing provision of U.P. Milk Act, 1976 which

required a license for the processing capacity beyond 500 LPD. Now the dairy industry in the

state is being governed by the provision of MMPO, 1992 (milk and milk products order)

where by the processing units with a capacity of more than 75,000 LPD are required to

register with the competent authority at the Govt. of India level whereas the units ranging

between 10,000 to 75,000 LPD have to be registered with the milk commissioner Govt. of

U.P. the units below 10,000 have been exempted from any registration.

Providing concession at 1.5% the milk price to be paid by the processing units in the state is

creating a milk development fund. This fund will be used for providing assistance to dairy

industrialists, extend health cover and technical inputs, creating additional processing

facilities in the backward areas and holding national and international seminars on new dairy

techniques with a view to encourage private entrepreneurs in the dairy sector. A Dairy

Consultancy Center has been set up by the State Government.

50
GHEE

Ghee is one of the most important product of Parag dairy as it has a competitive market share

in U.P. some of the main competitors of this specific product are- Amul, Anik, Gokul etc.

Manufacturing plants and equipment required for ghee production are-

 Melting vat

 Ghee

 Settling tank/ storage tank

 Filling tank

 Dump tank

 Packing machine

 Packing material

51
WHITE BUTTER

Manufacturing of white butter and table butter is almost the same, except in case of table

butter salt and annatto color is added, where as in white butter nothing is added.

PEDA

It is one of the most popular products of Parag dairy. For preparing it, first we boil milk in

an open pan to the extent, khoa type paste is made. Then it is made taken out in trays and

spreaded uniformly. Grinded cardimum is spread once the uniform upper layer of the

paste. Now it is out into the required size of packing and thus got packed. It is ½ kg and

01 kg packing.

52
MATHA

Generally double toned milk (1.5% fat and 9.00 SNF) is taken for its manufacturing. Curd

is made out of this milk. As per process system when the proper curd is made, salt and

masala is added as per acceptable taste and flavour. Then it is packed in 200 ml packing.

PANEER

The milk is boiled to 90 C. the specified coagulant is added and then it is set in paneer

hoofs and pressed. Now this is cut into different sizes of packing viz 100 gm, 200 gm,

500 gm and 1000 gm.

53
 DAHEE
(THE FERMENTED PRODUCT)

Generally toned milk is taken for dahee making but at LPCMU presently full cream milk

(60% fat & 9.00% SNF) is taken for the purpose. This deviation to higher quality of milk

is due to the fact that consumers of Lucknow generally need rich dahee. It is available in

two types:

 Sweetened dahee

 Plain dahee

Dahee is well known fermented milk product consumed by people as a refreshing

beverage. It is mildly sour product with a pleasant flavour formed by the combined

action of acid producing & flavour producing bacteria. It is produced by using starter

culture of various bacteria like Lacto coccus lactic, L. deacetylates, Leuconostoc

mesenteries, Streptococcus thermophilus etc.

 PARAG an ISO & HACCP Certified Company

The new ISO 22000 standards delivers a common global framework of safety requirements

for all organizations in the food supply chain, including crop production, processing,

distribution, and related operations. It is an international standard that harmonizes various

existing national and industry certification schemes. ISO 22000 incorporates HACCP

(Hazards Analysis of Critical Control Points) principles and implementation plans. Overall,

ISO 22000 creates an effective framework for food safety management, communication

along the food supply chain, and control of food safety hazards.

With registration to ISO 22000, you get-

 A single, globally- accepted standard.

 Uniform food safety procedures worldwide

 Improved communication with your trading partners

 Better understanding and implementation of HACCP principles

 A driver for continuous improvement

 Improved food safety hazard control

 A uniformly auditable standard.

Rely on QMI’s industry knowledge and experience QMI is uniquely positioned to

support ISO 22000.we have extensive experience and expertise in the food industry,

including HACCP audit programs, an organic certification program, as well as ISO 9001

59
quality management systems, ISO 14001 environmental management systems and

OHSAS 18001 occupational health and safety.

ISO 22000 is an international standard that harmonizes existing national and industry

certification schemes.

ISO 22000:2005

Food safety management system – requirements for any organization in the food chain,

provides a framework of internationally harmonized requirements for the global

approach that is needed. The standard has been developed within ISO by experts from

the food industry, along with representatives of specialized international organizations

and in close co-operation with the Codex Alimentarius Organization (FAO) and World

Health Organization (WHO) to develop food standard.

ISO 22000is designed to allow all types of organization within the food chain to

implement a food safety management system. These range from feed producers, primary

producers, food manufacturers, transport and storage operators and subcontractors to

retail and food service outlets together with related organization as producer’s of

equipment, packaging material, cleaning agents, additives and ingredients.

Developed with the participation of food sector experts, ISO 22000 incorporates the

principles of HACCP, and covers the requirements of key standards developed by various

global food retailer syndicates, in a single document.

It is designed to be fully compatible with ISO 9001:2000 and companies already certified

to ISO 9001 will find it easy to extend this certification to ISO 22000. to help users to do

60
so, ISO 22000 includes a table showing the correspondence of its requirements with

those of ISO 9001:2000.

HACCP;

Hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) certification is synonymous with

food safety. HACCP is a food safety risk management system that addresses biological,

chemical and physical hazards through anticipation and prevention rather than by a

finished product inspection. The Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) or Good Hygiene

Practice (GHP) or Good Agriculture Practice (GAP) certifications are required

prerequisites for an effective HACCP system.

HACCP is compatible with management systems, such as Total Quality Management

(TQM) and ISO9001, among others. HACCP certification is recognized worldwide by

government food authorities and food business.

of employee welfare.

 The dairy should try to provide immediate first aid facility to the injured employee

and provide them a fare amount of money in case of further medical treatment.
