Consumer perception and preference towards Nandini curd in Dharwad It was an wonderful experience for me to work with Dharwad Milk Union, from the project I learnt about the marketing tactics used by Dharwad Milk Union.s Dharwad Milk Union is a reputed organization which has developed its goodwill in the market to compete with other (company) famous brand. It has to adopt modern technology in the production process and can do better marketing compared with others. It has to increase the rate of commission payable to its agents or dealers or retailers. To survive in the market the company needs to adapt an aggressive marketing policy as of competitors.

The Dharwad Milk Union all employees are co-operated well and supported me in completing and making this project a successfully.
