SUGAR IN INDIA:
Sugar is a controlled commodity in India under the essential commodities Act, 1955.  The government controls sugar capacity additions through industrial licensing determines the price of the major input sugarcane, decides the quantity that can be sold in open market, fixes the prices of the levy quota sugar and determines maximum stock levels for wholesalers, etc.

India is the largest consumer and second largest producer of sugar in the world. With over 450 sugar factories located throughout the country, the sugar industry is amongst the largest agro-processing industries in India, with an annual turnover of Rs150 billion.

India has been known as the original home of sugarcane and sugar. Indians knew the art of making sugar since the fourth century. However the advent of modern sugar industry in India dates back to mid 1930’s when a few vacuum pan units were established in the sub-tropical belts of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

Until the mid 50s, the sugar industry was almost wholly confined to the states of  Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. After late fifties or early sixties the industry dispersed into Southern India, Western India and other parts of Northern India.

India is the largest consumer and second largest producer of sugar in the world. The sufficient and well-distributed monsoon rains; rapid population growth and substantial increases in sugar production capacity have combined to make India the largest consumer and second largest producer of sugar in world.

It generates employment nearly to 5 lacks of people directly and indirectly India produces crystal white sugar, khandasari and jaggery.  There are about 450 industries working throughout the country.  Among them 120 are in private sector, 120 in corporative sector and remaining 95 are in public sector.  The sugar industries are located in rural areas and have an intrinsic symbiotic relationship with rural mass.  Some units are also in position to supply surplus power to get the grid through biogases based co-generation system.

INTRODUCTION:
Sugar industry is one of the few industries which have contributed much to the growth of rural economy.  Further interestingly, the sugar industries are utilizing the rural resourced and struggled hard to meet the large demand of sugar within and to meet the increasing energy needs of the country.
         
Sugar industry is considered as Agro-based industry hence the location of such industries is always at rural areas.  The sugar industry supports 50 million farmers and their families besides direct employment to the tune of millions of people.
         
In earlier days the manufacturing process of sugar unit are considered as ‘Part time’ industries and not given much importance to this industry as comparing to others.  But at the present scenario of sugar industry have been changed.  It recognize as one of the most important media in uplifting the socio-economic structure of rural economy.  Now sugar industries are contributing to the nation monthly by catering the needs of sugar demand but its contributions in the field of manufacturing electricity by biogases based Co-gen unit, Distilleries, ethanol and Bio-fertilizers units by using its by-products.
         
In the light of above, the study of organisation structure of sugar industry with special reference to Naranja Sahakari Sakkare Karkhane has been taken up for In-plant Training.

Background and inception of the company:
The Naranja  Sahakari  sakkare karkhane Ltd is a co-operative venture registered on  27th April 1982 under the Karnataka co-operative society’s act 1959 vide Reg.No.DSK:REG-5/82c-83 with an objective to facilitate farmers to improve their socio-economic conditions. The Govt. of India have issued Letter of Intent vide No. Li: 193(1989) dated 20th march 1989. The crushing capacity of the sugar plant is 2500 TCD & co-generation unit of 14 Mw. The plant is located at G.N. Nagar Imampur village, 14 km away from Bidar town.

The location of the factory is very ideal in terms of the following:
An availability of sufficient raw material: the area of operation of the factory covers the entire Bidar district. The cane availability within the radius of 15-20 km is much and saves transportation cost of cane from field to factory besides saves the time.
·                     Water Sources: River Manjra, canals, tanks, wells & borewells are providing required quantum of water for growing cane in the reserved area of the factory which ensures the availability of the cane without any interruption.
·                     The required quantum of water to run the factory and for local consumption for employee’s colonies is met by river Manjra and bore wells.

The activities of the factory were confined  only to the development of civil works, landscaping and building etc since 1982 to 2000.The project was slatted for 18 years due to want of leadership. The license of the factory was in the verge of cancellation. In such crucial juncture, honourable Sri Gurupadappa Nagamarapalli, a bold leader and a progressive farmer and the leader of the mass took the management of the company into his hands. With the association of like minded people he has mobilized required resources like money, material and man power within a short span of 18 months and started the commercial production in 2002.

Shri.Gurupadappa Nagmarpalli is a veteran co-operator, social worker & a progressive farmer. Served as a Minister of Forest twice in Govt.of Karnataka, serving as a Chairman, District Central Co-operative Bank Bidar, Director Karnataka State Co-operative Apex Bank Ltd. Bangalore and KSCMF Ltd, Bangalore, IFFCO-TOKIYO New Delhi. Presently he is the chairperson of the society since its inception.

Nature of business carried:

§                     SUGAR PRODUCTION:
The crushing capacity of the sugar plant is 2500 Tones Crushed per day (T.C.D) and producing export quality white crystal sugar using the latest technology in the country. The factory is one of the most advanced plants by its modern technicalities. Robust and reliable equipment of latest design, high efficiency, and low power consumption have been installed. Factory runs continuously for 6-7 months in a year.

Due to abundant cane availability in the area of operation, a minimum duration of season of 6 to 7 months is assured i.e., to say about 6 lakh tones of sugarcane will be crushed during the season and sugar production will be around 7 lakh quintals. When this is done, the turnover of the company right from beginning would be Rs.120 crores and after meeting all the obligations, there will be sizable surplus per year.

v                 POWER  GENERATION:
The company has established 14 MW co-gen project to generate power using non conventional energy fuel i.e., biogases which is a by-product coming out of sugarcane and available in plenty at the location with the help of high pressure boilers and turbines. At present 8 MW electricity is being generated. Out of 8 MW, 4.5 MW will be used for captive consumption and balance of 3.5 MW will be exported to K.P.T.C.L at fixed rates as per P.P.A. The additional revenue of Rs. 4 crores will be generated by power export.

PRODUCT PROFILE:
PROCESS
Brief Description of Manufacturing Process of Sugar:
Cane from the fields is weighed and put into trucks after grading the cane by manually. Then the graded cane is dumped by tilting mechanism into cane carrier. Cane is passed through various preparatory devices like leveler, cutter, and shedder for preparation of cane.

The prepared cane is fed onto milling tandem in which juice is extracted and biogases is sent as fuel for boiler.  The juice is screened and weighed then heated in juice heaters up to 65 degrees Celsius. Then to the juice, milk of lime and SO2 gas is added and again heated in juice heaters up to 105 degree Celsius.  Then the juice is fed to clarifier where juice and mud thus separated is sent to filter station for separation of mud.

The separated mud is sent to bio earth yard for the manufacture of bio-fertilizer. The supernatant clear juice is fed to Evaporators for concentration.

The concentrated juice is known as syrup which is clarified in syrup clarification system and is then sent to suspiration. The sulphited syrup is sent to Pan Floor for crystallization process.

The N.S.S.K Ltd. is following three and half massecuite boiling system in pan boiling for crystallization stage. The massecuites are cured in high-speed centrifugals. Sugar and molasses are separated.

Sugar is dried and weighed and sent to godown for storage. Molasses is sent to storage tanks.
