Milvay’s Share capital has increased from year to year. The main activity of the dairy is procurement and sale of milk and milk products and sale of cattle feeds. Milvay had been able to increase its procurement of milk as well as its sales. The members are served with loans and advances and Milvay accepts savings and fixed deposits.

So as to remain in profit and serve members, Milvay has to be more careful in its operation. If the society can diversify its milk products mix, i.e. to buttermilk, ice creams, sip – up, butter etc it can increase its profitability.Item Fund management a study of Puthukad service co-operative bank ltd no..580(College co-operation, banking and management, Vellanikkara, 2010) Neethu, T A; Jacob Thomas, MThe study “Fund management – A study of Puthukad Service Co – operative Bank Ltd No. 580” was undertaken to analyze the fund management practices of Puthukad Service Co – operative Bank (PSCB).
