Performance evaluation of Avinissery ksheerolpadaka sahakarana sangham ltd (No. R34D)

Abstract

The study entitled "Performance evaluation of Avinissery Ksheedolpadaka Sahakarana Sangham Ltd No R34 D" was undertaken to examine the enterprise and institutional role played by the society. The enterprise role of the society was analyzed using the secondary data collected from the financial records of the society, ten years from 1998-99 to 2007-08 . The institutional role of the society was analyzed from the primary data collected through a survey of thirty sample farmer members of the society. From the study it could be understood that the profitability of the society is not sound. The major reason of the low profitability is the decline in the milk collection by the society. The farmers would be ready to supply milk to the society only when they get fair price to the milk. This was analyzed through the survey of farmers and could understand that the price given by the society to the farmers is not reasonable. The farmers cannot meet the expenses out of this price. That is, the society cannot perform its enterprise and institutional role well. The dairy industry in India is facing such a problem. Immediate policy measures should be taken to save dairy industry and milk producing societies from these troubles.
