On 20th of February 64 students and 2 faculty members visited Komul. For the transportation we had one private bus and one TT. We started from the campus at 8.35 a.m. and reached the industry around 10:45 a.m. After getting the permission from the authority, we entered the plant and one of the staff members (Mr. Ramamurthy) arranged a person from the industry to guide us throughout the day.

The unit processes 11 lakh liters of milk per day. In the initial stage milk is collected from various households in huge containers, and then the workers take the samples from the container and send it to the lab. After this stage the production department processes the milk. The processed milk is divided into various types based on its fat content. Then students were taken to curd, cheese butter and sweet unit. In the sweet unit Mysore Pak was being prepared. Few students got a chance to taste it. Later, we visited the distribution room and small packets of Good Life Milk were given to students for tasting. There are many other products produced in the industry like ice cream, Paneer etc. At the end they provided us with buttermilk as a refreshment drink. The industrial visit was very informative to students. Through this visit they were able to understand the stages of the process of milk production.

Name of the company visited: NSL Sugars Limited
Name and details of the company: NSL Sugars limited is located in the Industrial section of KOPPA 122 kms from Bengaluru. NSL Sugars Limited (NSL) is one of the most efficient sugar companies in south India and a sugar arm of ‘NSL’ group. NSL Group entered the ‘sugar’ industry as part of their diversified interests in agro- commercial crop business.
Objective of the visit: The trip was conducted in order to get an understanding about how a sugar factory works and what are the different stages of management and production processes in the sugar industry.

We reached the factory at 11.a.m as soon as we reached Mr.Mahesh, the Supervisor oriented the students about the factory workings and the production process of sugar. He explained the entire process of sugar production. We came to know that NSL Sugars Ltd. provides livelihood to around thousands of families of sugarcane growers and livelihood to about 3000 families by directly involving in plant operations and indirectly 5000 families by involving them in harvesting and transportation of sugarcane. Procurement of sugarcane is the first step in the process and then levelling of sugarcane is done using preparatory devices. In these devices, the sugarcane is crushed. Then the crushed sugarcane moves to the mill where salvarizers, shredder, fibrizer are present where the sugarcanes are chopped into small pieces, crushed and the juice is extracted. The dry waste obtained from this process is used for power production, thereby reducing wastage in the process. The sugarcane juice extracted is then processed using a clarifier in a boiling operation at 80oC -100oC. Then the output in the form of plasma is boiled and heated under vacuum at 100 degree Celsius in order to absorb all moisture content in it and finally sugar crystals are produced. This crystal is again heated at 120 degree Celsius and milk of lime and sulphur dioxide is added simultaneously in order to get clean white sugar. The by-product molasses are taken to the distillery unit for producing spirit. The final white crystals are packed in a bag of 25kgs and sent to the warehouse. It takes approximately 2 days to get white crystal sugar.

Objective: To get exposure about the complete process of coffee Curing & manufacturing.
Places/Industry Visited: Visit to Sri Uma Coffee Curing Works Private limited plot no.8, KIADB industrial area, kudlur Kushalnagar, Karnataka 571234

Uma coffee works was established in 1994. Mr. Sreedhar.A was the founder of Uma coffee trading. In 2006 a coffee processing unit started and then it was renamed as Uma coffee works. In 2019 a new division of roast and ground coffee was started and currently Uma air roasted coffee work is the one of the most successful coffee works in Karnataka

Total 46 Students were taken to the unit to understand the manufacturing process. First, the coffee seeds are peeled and the inner part of coffee seeds are taken out and separated into two different processes.

The beans are then dried by the sun or a machine to be put into a huller which removes the remaining covering. The polished beans (called green coffee) are then ready to be sorted by hand or machine to remove defective beans and extraneous material, and finally to be graded by size. The drying operation is the most important stage of the process, since it affects the final quality of the green coffee. A coffee that has been over dried will become brittle and produce too many broken beans during hulling (broken beans are considered defective beans).

In the next process the coffee seeds are taken to a roasting process where the seeds will be roasted into brownish color. And in the final process, the roasted coffee seeds are ground into powder and left for cooling for some time. Later the coffee powder is packed. The coffee machine runs 24hours a day and it functions every day.

The visit was aimed to connect the concepts of Methods and Techniques of Cost Accounting taught in the classroom.
