INTRODUCTION:- Marketing is a total system of business, an ongoing process of Discovering and translating consumer needs and desire into product and services, creating demand for these product and services, Serving the consumer demand with the help of marketing channels, and then in turn, expanding the market even in the face of keen Competition. The marketing objectives, developed the marketing plan, or program and control the marketing program to assure the accomplishment of the marketing objectives. Marketing begins with the customer, not with production cost, sales, technological and marks and it ends with customer Satisfaction and social well-being. Marketing covers all business activities necessary for ascertaining market demand, planning, and product availability, affecting transfer of ownership of products, providing for their physical distribution and facilitating the entire marketing process. Tractor, a self-propelled unit used to pull loads, to carry and operate tillage, cultivating and harvesting machinery and to provide power through the suitable belt pulley, power take off, or other power outlet, to drive stationary and drawn implements and machines, As distinguished from “traction enginesquot;
, which were self propelled steam engine tractor are powered with internal combustion engines. The wordquot;
Tractorquot;
was coined by combining parts of the words TRACTION and MOTOR, and was first noted in a patents issued in the united states in 1890. This project report is an academic excursive for discussing in general in marketing of tractor and probing into the marketing of Mahindra tractors in particular. The secondary and primary data have been collected for the purpose and this recommendation have been given for the improvement of marketing strategy of tractors in Ganesh agro tractors and services in particular. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Research Methodology A research process consists of stages or steps that guide the project from its conception through the final analysis, recommendations and ultimate actions. The research process provides a systematic, planned approach to the research project and ensures that all aspects of the research project are consistent with each other. Research studies evolve through a series of steps, each representing the answer to a key question. INTRODUCTION This chapter aims to understand the research methodology establishing a framework of evaluation and revaluation of primary and secondary research. The techniques and concepts used during primary research in order to arrive at findings; which are also dealt with and lead to a logical deduction towards the analysis and results. Primary data:- Personal interview with dealers and user of tractors has been used as survey technique for collecting data. The dealers of different branches of tractor were also enquired about question depending on circumstances. The survey has been made by using primary data and secondary data. The primary sources consist of collected from dealers of different branches and tractors owners and agriculturist. The secondary data has been collected from encyclopedias, survey of Indian agriculture, Technical journals and news paper reports. Secondary data:- These are the sources contain data, which have been collected and compared for some other purpose. The secondary source consists of readily available components and already compiled statistical statement and reports whose data may be used for study. Secondary data have been collected from many sources. The major sources of secondary data are given below. Reports/records Websites Organizations old data DETERMINATION THE SAMPLE PLAN AND SAMPLE SIZE TARGET POPULATION It is a description of the characteristics of that group of people from whom a course is intended. It attempts to describe them as they are rather than as the describer would like them to be. Also called the audience the audience to be served by our project includes key demographic information (i.e.; age, sex etc.).The specific population intended as beneficiaries of a program. This will be either all or a subset of potential users, such as adolescents, women, rural residents, or the residents of a particular geographic area. Topic areas: Governance, Accountability and Evaluation, Operations Management and Leadership. A population to be reached through some action or intervention; may refer to groups with specific demographic or geographic characteristics. The group of people you are trying to reach with a particular strategy or activity. The target population is the population I want to make conclude an ideal situation; the sampling frames to matches the target population. A specific resource set that is the object or target of investigation. The audience defined in age, background, ability, and preferences, among other things, for which a given course of instruction is intended. I have selected the sample trough Simple random Sampling SAMPLE SIZE: This involves figuring out how many samples one need. The numbers of samples you need are affected by the following factors: Project goals How you plan to analyze your data How variable your data are or are likely to be How precisely you want to measure change or trend The number of years over which you want to detect a trend How many times a year you will sample each point How much money and manpower you have SAMPLE SIZE I have targeted 150people in the age group above 21 years for the purpose of the research. The target population influences the sample size. The target population represents the Delhi regions. . The people were from different professional backgrounds. The details of our sample are explained in chapter named primary research where the divisions are explained in demographics section. DATA COLLECTION Data collection took place with the help of filling of questionnaires. The questionnaire method has come to the more widely used and economical means of data collection. The common factor in all varieties of the questionnaire method is this reliance on verbal responses to questions, written or oral. I found it essential to make sure the questionnaire was easy to read and understand to all spectrums of people in the sample. It was also important as researcher to respect the samples time and energy hence the questionnaire was designed in such a way, that its administration would not exceed 4-5 mins. These questionnaires were personally administered. The first hand information was collected by making the people fill the questionnaires. The primary data collected by directly interacting with the people. The respondents were contacted at shopping malls, markets, places that were near to showrooms of the consumer durable products etc. The data was collected by interacting with 200 respondents who filled the questionnaires and gave me the required necessary information. The respondents consisted of housewives, students, businessmen, professionals etc. the required information was collected by directly interacting with these respondents LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:- The main limitation of the study is regarding customer to the products. Because the company do not involved in dealings activities and sells the products through the dealers. The second limitation is about marketing area of Mahindra Company’s product to the consumer of Hassan district only. The sample draws for the survey does not cover the entire Hassan district. The sample size has to be restricted due to lack of time and other resources restraint. The study is conducted on the basis data provided by the Ganesh Agro Tractors. Conclusions are drawn on the basis of limited data available. Findings and suggestions drawn are applicable only to the Ganesh Agro Tractors and they cannot be generalized. Time was limited to conduct a detailed study and hence in depth study has not been possible. HISTORY OF THE TRACTOR:- The word tractor was derived from the combining parts of the word TRACTOR and MOTOR and was first noted in a patent issued in USA in 1890. A self profiled power unit used to pull 100 to carry and operate till age cultivation harvesting, machinery to provide power take of or other , power out let a drive stationary and down implements, machinery as distinguish from tractor to pro puller steam engine tractors. Tractor was first used during the 1870's this tractors’s called tractors engine were large four wheeled machine driven by steam. They provided enough power to pall as money as 40 plough they were too awkward to be practical. The first tractors in the since of powered traction vehicles, grew out of the stationary and portable steam engine operated on farms in 19 the century and used to hour plows by 1890's. MAHINDRA TRACTOR HISTORY:- From army vehicles to farm tractors to major automobile manufacturing, Mahindra's relationship with American industry goes back quite a few years. American GI's who served in India during World War II recognize our parent company, Mahindra & Mahindra, which in l945 was selected to assemble the famous Willis Jeep. Following Indian independence in 1947, Mahindra & Mahindra charted a course of product expansion and globalization. The philosophy led to the company's entrance into the worldwide tractor. In 1962, M&M formed a joint venture with International Harvester to make tractors carrying the name Mahindra name-plate for the Indian market. Armed with engineering, tooling and manufacturing know-how gained from this relationship, M&M-a major auto maker- developed its first tractor, the B-275. This successor to International Harvester's incredibly popular B-414 is still the basis for some current Mahindra models. Today, Mahindra is the third largest tractor manufacturer in the world with sales of nearly 85,000 units annually in 10 countries. This places them ahead of John Deere & Kubota. In India, Mahindra has been the number one selling brand since 1983. TYPES OF TRACTORS:- Tractors are classified according to weather wheels or tracks which are used to provide traction. Two wheel drive tractors: General purpose tractors Standard treads tractors. Track laying Tractor: These tractors are used to obtain better adhesion or lower ground pressure then would be possible with an ordinary wheeled tractor. Four Wheel drive tractors: These are able to work under any conditions since its engine is engaged to both the front & rear wheel. Those in most general use are of the wheel drive type with two large wheel driving wheels at the rear & two steering wheels at the front. The Tractor Industry in India dates back to 1961 when a madras based company pioneered the manufacture of farm equipment by establishing a tractor plant in collaboration with a multinational agricultural machinery manufacturer. Today agricultural tractors are manufactured by about 15 units in the organized sector with a total registered capacity of above 2 lakh.

Tractor is used in the field of transportation. The fertilizers can be carried to the field & the produce to the market with the help of tractors. It is also for the purpose of transportation goods from one place to another. Through the use of tractor farm practices were revolutionized & agriculture crops were increased per hectare. Mechanized farming becomes possible through the use of tractors. In stone crushers before the blasting of rocks drilling machines are used to drill the rocks with the help of tractors. Not only has animal power been displaced & human effort reduced through the use of tractors. ROLE OF TRACTORS IN INDIAN AGRICULTURE:- India has always been heavily dependent on agriculture for its economic growth. It follows that mechanized farming would increase agriculture output in the given the huge trucks of land which cultivated are would assume that tractors are sold in a big way in our country. Indian agriculture is as old as civilization itself & the Indian farmer has the benefit of a vast past experience the yield of crops in India are very low when compared to even some of the south east when compared to even some of the south east Asian countries. Agriculture forms the backbone of the Indian economy & despite concerted industrialization in the last four decades; agriculture occupies a place of pride. Being the largest industry in India, it is the source of livelihood for over 70% of the national income. Its importance in industrial development in the supply of raw-materials to leading industries like jute, textile, sugar etc, is very high. Agriculture increase national income & it helps in industrial development, agriculture helps for the promotion of international trade & the development of agriculture is essential for economic growth, the significance of agriculture in India arises also from the fact that the development in agriculture is an essential for the development of the national economics. Though the experience of Indian farmer the yields crops in India very low when compare to other countries. For this reasons are quite obviously monocropping & repeated use of land without rest is one problem is the efficient use of good fertilizers expect domestic fertilizers also primitive & traditional, besides the wooden plough, hoe, sickle & other old method of practicing agriculture no any mechanical or other devices are used. By mechanization of agriculture we mean the replacement of animal & human power by machinery & pouching done by tractors. Sowing & putting of fertilizers by the drill & reaping & thrashing by the combined harvester & so on. The tractors will so be used in transporting crops to markets. By using tractors, crops can be easily taken COMPANY PROFILE Mahindra and Mahindra incorporated in 1945, began operations, with assembly of jeeps imported in semi knocked down (SKD) condition form wills, USA Mahindra and Mahindra started manufacturing jeep in collaboration with wily overland corporation and American motor cooperation (now parts of the Chrysler group) in 1954 and LCVs in 1965.

Domestic Tractor Marketquot;
. When India celebrates 50 years of independence and the world moves on to the next century M&M is eager to export new markets and renew our commitment to the agricultural community. Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. is one of the major automotive companies of India. They initially had collaboration with Willys Overland Corporation to import and assemble jeeps in India. They are the market leaders in the utility vehicles segment. They are also a major player in the tractor manufacturing segment as well. They are the only sole Indian company to be a part of the top five tractor manufacturing companies in the world. The Indian Tractor Market; The Indian tractor industry, dominated since time immemorial by a few known brands, is in the process of a change. A look at the average growth rate recorded by the tractor industry point towards a general slowdown. The growth rate for the eight month period April- November 1996 has dropped to 13% from 16% recoded during the previous year. Among the 3 Indian majors, Mahindra & Mahindra Tractor &Farm Equipment (TAFE) & Punjab tractors, only M&M has recorded a marginal drop in market share. Overall all of them have witnessed increased sales in terms of volume. As for the others which include the links of Eicher, HMT, ESCORTS etc., there has been steady erosion in the market share. A begin state policy, which provides the buyer subsidies & soft loans has seen the tractors become a popular substitute for the LCV as utility vehicle in rural areas. Due to the general slowdown in the growth rate of the Economy, the industry expects to slow down. The growth rate in tractor declined from 18.5% in 1994-95 to 17.3% in 1995-96 & 1996-97 (April-Nov). But there is one company which has defined this entire ‘slowdown’ pattern & is growing at a steady pace. The co. is Punjab Tractors Ltd... The market share of Punjab tractors has increased from 11% to 14.9% in 1996-97 (April- December). It overtook Eicher in 93-94& Farm Equipment (TAPE). The future of the tractor industry will see a shakeout of sorts. The small players will either have to survive. According to experts, ten years from now, the market will stagnate. If at all there is a market that will grow, it will be one for replacements. Till then Tractor players will continue to trudge along slowly maintaining a 5-6 percent growth rate. Hence the performance of the companies, from the automobile industry that have featured in this year's top50 reveals that though the industry is in the grip of recession players with very good fundamentals will always continue to reward the investors. The Indian tractor industry sold approximately 2.2 lakh tractors between, April 1996&March 1997. On an average the tractor market gas grown by 6% to 7% each year since 1993. When the industry was of around 1.4 lakh tractors in all these years some of the companies had limited production capacities & the customer had to wait for most popular models. These problems were more acute in the season & often aggravated by the short supply of premium models. However, since October 1996, a distinct change has been observed in the tractor market. All tractors models, including the so called premium products, are readily available in the show room. The main reason for this phenomenon is that all tractor manufacturers have been gradually increasing their production volume in the last few years and presently the total production capacity of all the tractor manufacturers has reached approximately 2.7 lakh units. This will ease the supply position of tractors and in times to come the customer will not have any waiting period for a tractor.
