CONCLUSION & SUGGESTION

It is rightly said that “No study is fully complete in itself,

Even then, not taking the shelter in this proverbial saying,

the visit that I have undertaken can be expanded to a more

efficient and highly useful study on the company as a whole.

In the end after having a visit at AJANTA Industry, I

concluded that it was a great experience to visit AJANTA

Industry and know about the functioning of an industry. As

regarding ORPAT there is no voice of middle or bottom

level. It would be better if they are also included low price is

not a winning formula because also people may believe that

it will not be good quality. Overall, it is a far better managed

company.

The training/visit created an “Academic fun” for me and

served as a great learning experience.
