EXPERIENCE AT THE PARLE PLANT:

As the bus was reaching the PARLE factory, a delicious aroma greeted us

and covered the whole atmosphere through which we came to know that we

were reaching the destination. We all were warmly welcomed by the staffs of

the Parle Plant. Right after the welcome, they took us to the auditorium, where

an animated film on the establishment and progress of the PARLE Plants all

over India was shown. We also got an insight into the manufacturing of biscuits

and confectioneries through the film. It gave us the view of the process of

manufacturing of the biscuits and confectioneries in the factory. The film also

threw a light on the duplicate brands that are being sold as Parle-G products into

the markets. Later, we were taken around the plant and the process of biscuits

manufacturing was shown to us through the gallery. There we were really

stunned after seeing “THE STEPHEN OVEN”, Asia‟s largest oven, which was

baking 9900 biscuits in a minute. We were really amazed to see and experience

all such incredible things. And thus, the visit was very interesting because it was

very informative and we gathered a huge amount of information. We enjoyed

the visit a lot since the staffs of the factory were very patient and resourceful for

us. They gave us all possible information, explained all the facts in simple

manner and also cleared all our queries. At the end of the day, they also gave us

some complimentary mini packs of PARLE biscuits and a few toffees to relish

the aroma and sweetness of PARLE, which were spreading among the students.

ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF BISCUIT

INDUSTRY

Sweet or Salty. Soft or Crunchy. Simple or Exotic. Everybody loves

munching on biscuits, but do you know how biscuits came into existence? The

history of biscuits can be traced back to a recipe created by the Roman chef

Apicius, in which he describes it as “a thick paste of fine wheat flour was boiled

and spread out on a plate. When it had dried and hardened, it was cut up and

then fried until crisp, then served with honey and pepper.” Back then, biscuits

were unleavened, hard and thin wafers, which, because of their low water

content, were ideal food to store. As people started to explore the globe, biscuits

became the ideal travelling food since they stayed fresh for long periods. The

seafaring age, thus, witnessed the boom of biscuits when these were sealed to

airtight containers to last for months at a time. Hard track biscuits (earlier

version of biscotti and present day crackers) were part of the staple diet of

English and American sailors for many centuries. In fact, the countries, which

led their seafaring charge, such as those in Western Europe, are the ones where

biscuits are most popular even today. Biscotti is said to have been a favorite of

Christopher Columbus who discovered America.

The Name:

The word „Biscuit‟ is derived from the Latin word „Bis‟ (meaning

„twice‟) and „Coctus‟ (meaning „cooked or baked‟). The word „Biscotti‟ is also

the generic term for cookies in Italian. Again Biscuit derived its name from the

French word meaning „twice backed bread‟; Biscuits in general have a good

shelf life, which is higher than all other snack items in the market.

Growth and Present Status of the Industry:

India is the second largest producer of Biscuits in the world after the

USA. But still the per capita consumption is only 2.4 KG per year of developed

countries. As per the latest survey done by N.C.A.E.R 49% of biscuits are

consumed in rural areas. The penetration of biscuits into households stands at a

average of 83.2% with the rural penetration at 77% and urban penetration at

88%.

Biscuits are reserved for the small scale sector but they are strong

possibilities of the industry being deserved in line with the Government policy

of liberalization.

Biscuit Industry in India in the organized sector produces around 60% of

the total production, the balance 40% being contributed by the unorganized

bakeries. The industry consist of two large scale manufacturers, around 50

medium scale brands and small scale units ranging up to 2500 units in the

country, as at 2000-2001. The unorganized sector is estimated to have

approximately 30000 small and tiny bakeries across the country. The annual

turnover of the organized sector of the biscuit manufacturers as at 2001-2002 is

Rs 4350cr.

In terms of volume biscuit production by the organized segment in 2001-

2002 is estimated at 1.30 million tones. The major brand of biscuits are

Brittania, Parle, Bakeman, Priya Gold, Elite, Cremica, Dukes, Anupam,

of its Corporate Social Responsibility Policy, Parle is keenly involved in the

overall development of the younger generation, with a focused endeavor to

build the New Face of India and spread happiness and joy all over.

Some of our best habits, as we said, are also our oldest. Many of them

date back to the last decade of the 19th century. It was in the 1880‟s that the late

Mohanlal Dayal came to Bombay from his village Pardi, in the district of Surat,

to work as a dusting boy at a silk merchant‟s. What a long way that bright little

boy came! First, the hard apprenticeship and the graduation to Master Cutter,

then the elite tailoring establishment that eventually developed into a wholesale

business to finally, the new business in confections and biscuits. Always, the

accent was on self-sufficiency. Mohanlal Dayal was not just a progressive and

astute businessman. He never gave in to the sense of indifference that often

comes with the commercial outlook. All through his life, he was deeply

conscious of his duties towards society and the community. He built the Shri

Mohanlal Dayal Prasuti Graha and General Hospital in Pardi, which is

maintained through charity trusts set up by him. The Shri Mohanlal Dayal

Sanatorium and Hostel at Matunga in Bombay is another such institution. In his

memory and after his example, his sons have donated significant sums to set up

the Chauhan Institute of Science at Vile Parle. Parle Centre of Excellence, as an

institution, is dedicated to enriching the lives of people by conducting various

cultural programs across all regions to facilitate the all round development of

children. Every year, Parle organizes Saraswati Vandana in the state of West

Bengal during the festival of Saraswati Puja, inviting schools from all across the

state to participate. The event is one of much fanfare and celebration, keeping

alive the culture and traditions. The involvement in cultural activities has seen

the inception of Golu Galata in Tamil Nadu, held during Navratri. It provides all

the members of a household a platform to showcase their creativity and be

judged by eminent personalities. Thousands of families participate and celebrate

the occasion on a grand scale. These events give us a chance to interact with

children on a one-to-one basis, and promote our belief of fun and health for the

whole family.

Brands

An in-depth understanding of the Indian consumer psyche has helped

Parle evolve a marketing philosophy that reflects the needs of the Indian

masses. With products designed keeping both health and taste in mind, Parle

appeals to both health conscious mothers and fun loving kids. The great

tradition of taste and nutrition is consistent in every pack on the store shelves,

even today. The value-for-money positioning allows people from all classes and

age groups to enjoy Parle products to the fullest.

CONCLUSION

The industrial visit to PARLE Plant proved to be a great importance in

our educational and career life. This visit cleared many doubts about the

employments in today‟s world.

Employment Engagement in the buzz word term for employee

communication. It is a positive attitude held by the employees towards the

organization and its values. It is rapidly gaining popularity, use and importance

in the workplace and impacts Organizations in many ways. Employee

engagement emphasizes the importance of employee communication on the

success of a business. An organization should thus recognize employees, more

than any other variable, as powerful contributors to a company‟s competitive

position.

Therefore employee engagement should be a continuous process of

learning, improvement, measurement and action. We would hence include that

raising and maintaining employee engagement lies in the hand of an

organization and requires a perfect blend of time, effort, commitment and

investment to craft a successful endeavor.

Employee engagement is the sum total of the work place behavior

demonstrated by the people. Such behavior is characterized by:

Belief in organization

Drive to work to make things better

Understanding of business context

Respect and support others

Desire to learn new skills.

The level of employee engagement affects key results such as sales,

customer satisfaction and innovation and employee turnover. Hence lastly, a

Vote of Thanks to dear lecturers and faculty members and the whole PARLE

group for their support.
