3. PREFACE
This project is prepared for when I take industrial visit at “EXCEL CROP CARE
LIMITED “, Bhavnagar.
It is a very well known proverb that “The practice makes a man perfect.” As
per this proverb we can say that one can only become perfect by practicing. He
or she need to have enough knowledge of practical implementation in the
current scenario of the theoretical knowledge.
As a student of management I have studied many theories in classroom but after
taking Industrial visit, I have experienced and understood it in it fullest sense which
plays a vital role in business field.
Hence, this report is been designed with the objective to gain practical exposure
and to know the motivational analysis of organizational climate.
During the industrial visit I met various functionaries of organization and
interacted with them. I sincerely thank them all whose cooperation and
guidance enriched my knowledge and this report was made possible

9. HISTORY
In 1932, C.C. Shroff, a young and brilliant science graduate, turned
down a scholarship to England. He was already bound f or another country: a
country as yet unborn, one which existed only in the hearts and mind of the men at
the helm of India s freedom movement.
Independence is not a concept confined to the realms of politics. Shroff
knew, that if India was to be at all self-reliant, she would have to manufacture her
own basic products and chemicals with her own know-how. And to that end he
worked with all his strength, faith and genius, he chose chemistry as his vehicle for
this. First he charted his own course of education, apprenticing himself to some of
the more advance chemical enterprises of the time. His research laboratory was
the kitchen at home, where he learnt to manufacture small useful things like
margarine and face cream. Slowly he was gaining the knowledge and confidence to
start off on his own.
In 1941, while our leaders were tr ying to get the British out of India, C.C.
Shroff was clearing out a buffalo shed in Jogeshwari, Bombay. When he nailed up a
sign that said, “Excel Crop Care”, he was making his declaration of
independence- independence from foreign technology and knowhow.
From the beginning, Excel Crop Care manufactured hazardous chemicals that
had
10. previously been imported. Chemicals that very few companies, even
abroad, knew how to manufacture. C.C. Shroff worked out his own technologies,
which were cheaper, simpler and as efficient as any, world-wide. A few months
after he had set up shop, C.C. Shroff received a frantic call from Stanvac, a large
petroleum refiner y. An essential chemical could not be imported because of the
was. Could he do something? C.C. Shroff thought for a while, then said he could.
He set to work at once; researching, experimenting, streamlining
processes,
working day and night. Just four days later, he dispatched the order. It
was as good as the imported chemical and Stanvac was so pleased, it offered
to pay a price much higher than normal. C.C. Shroff refused. His costs did not
justify the higher price, and he would not take a paisa more than what he felt was
due.
This is a pattern that has repeated itself through Excel s history: quick
response to a customer s needs, with excellent products at a fair price. To
overcharge customers or to give them shoddy goods – even in times of shortage –
would be to compromise the integrity of the company.
