In earlier days there was only one TV channel in India the Doordarshan channel
Doordarshon was owned and operate by government of India. In those era every home which had
a Tv set used to have its own antenna to capture the signals. The cable television ordinance law
was passed in January 1995. This enabled cable operators to feed channels and later on private
companies were allowed to air their own channels and this led to the explosive growth in number
of tv channels and number of cable operators. The growth of Tv channels & cable operators
created a big industry and market opportunities.
Until few years back there were as many as 1.0 Lakh cable operators across India. however the
services provided by cable operators were poor. The strikes, increase in tariff plan, selective
broadcast and poor services were major cause of dissatisfaction among the the customers. This
has created an opportunity for DTH, which serves an immediate threat to the high-end cable
networks.
There is an immense opportunity for DTH in India an market. The opportunity in India almost 11
times that in developed countries like the US an Europe. For every channel there is a scope for
broadcasting it in at least ten different languages. So every channel multiplied by ten, that is the
kind of scope for DTH in the country.
CURRENT PLAYERS:
The current players in DTH industry are
1. DD-direct + of PrasarBharti, comprising of 33 fta channels and 12 all India Radio
channels.
2. Dish TV of zee group.
3. Tata Sky- the joint venture between Tata and Rupert Murdochs sky TV.
A recently survey done using the Television Audience Measurement (TAM) puts DDDirect+ with 3.5 million homes and Tata sky capturing 1.0 million homes.
The following companies have either the liecence/latter of intent or applied for the license to
operate DTH services-
and now Direct To- Home. Bharat Business Channel, a Videocon group enterprise is offering
DTH services under brand name Videocon d2h. Videocon is coming with their Direct to Home
venture D2H with tag line of Direct hai Correct Hai. The slogan is quite meaningful at the first
look as due to the features and a convenient price, it may soon gain a lot of popularity.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT:Human Resources are exactly it says: resources for humans within the workplace! Its
main objective is to meet the organizational needs of the company it represents and the needs of
the people hired by that company. In short, it is the hub of the organization serving as a liaison
between all concerned. Depending on the size of the company, the HR Department might be
called Personnel with a manageable workforce that can be handled by a personnel manager and a
small staff. For larger, more complex organizations with hundreds of departments and divisions,
the task is much more demanding, taking on a life of its own. Some companies have more than
one HR Department - Corporate and Union. For example, a food service industry might have a
Corporate HR Department that oversees white collared" employees and an HR Department that
oversees the blue collar" workforce with an emphasis on labor relations. The organization will,
thus, institute these two HR Departments to manage the unique needs of both union and nonunion employees. Human resources are a term used to describe the individuals who comprise the
workforce of an organization, although it is also applied in labor economics to, for example,
business sectors or even whole nations. Human resources is also the name of the function within
an organization charged with the overall responsibility for implementing strategies and policies
relating to the management of individuals (i.e. the human resources).This function title is often
abbreviated to the initials 'HR'. Human resources are a relatively modern management term,
coined in the 1960s.The origins of the function arose in organizations that introduced 'welfare
management' practices and also in those that adopted the principles of 'scientific management.
From these terms emerged a largely administrative management activity, co-coordinating a range
of worker related processes and becoming known, in time as the 'personnel function. Human
resources progressively became the more usual name for this function, in the first instance in the
United States as well as multinational corporations, reflecting the adoption of a more quantitative
as well as strategic approach to workforce management, demanded by corporate management
and the greater competitiveness for limited and highly skilled workers.
within a company calls for a liaison between the organization's management personnel and the
administration of the executive rungs. It thrives on the strength of the relationship between the
management and workers of the company.
To ensure its success, a company must establish a hierarchal reporting system. The funnel
of responsibility is critical to the efficiency of a smoothly operating business entity in which
there is a clearly defined understanding of who is responsible for what. They provide
consultation to a company's management team to identify what the company's core business and
culture is about, and proceeds to plan and map the company's organizational infrastructure to
support those needs.
2.Employee Recruitment and Selection Process:There are many steps to recruiting and selecting qualified employees. First, a department
head must inform the HR manager of an opening in their department. Then the HR manager must
obtain the job description to formulate a Job Description Sheet for publication either internally,
publicly, or both. Then HR must field the (many) responses to that job announcement to weed
out the qualified from the unqualified applicants. Once that is completed, the interview process
must be coordinated. They prepare the job description, contact the newspaper, run the ad, field
the calls, compile a list of potential candidates, submit that list to the department's hiring
manager for approval and selection, contact the chosen candidates to set up preliminary
interviews, and interview the candidates! Although most interviews are with the hiring manager
or their associates, not all applicants get to meet with the department's hiring manager right
away. It is not uncommon for a company to filter out those who fail to impress the HR manager
first. For those select few who make it through, the HR manager schedules interviews
between the department's hiring manager and potential candidates, and follows up with the
hiring
process
to
establish
the
new
hire
with
the
company.
Employee Training & Development: As a company and the requirements of a position evolve, a
company needs to take certain measures to ensure a highly skilled workforce is in place. The
Human Resources Department oversees the skills development of company's workforce, acting
as an in-house training center to coordinate training programs either on-site, off-site, or in the
field. This might include on-going company training, outside training seminars, or even college,
in which case an employee will receive tuition reimbursement upon earning a passing grade.
This covers salaries, bonuses, vacation pay, sick leave pay, Workers' Compensation, and
insurance policies such as medical, dental, life, and 401k. The Human Resources Department is
responsible for developing and administering a benefits compensation system that serves as an
incentive to ensure the recruitment and detainment of top talent that will stay on with the
company. When an employee is hired, the company's Benefits Coordinator is required to meet
with employees one-on-one or in small group settings to explain their benefits package. This
often requires an employee to make an informed decision and to provide their signature for
processing purposes
4.Employee Relations:With the increased rise in unethical practices and misbehaviors taking place in today's
workplace such as age, gender, race, and religion discrimination and sexual harassment, there
needs to be mandatory compliance with governing rules and regulations to ensure fair treatment
of employees. In short, employees need to know they have a place to turn when a supervisor
abuses his or her authority in anyway. Whether corporate or union, the HR Department will get
involved to act as arbitrator and liaison between legal entities, regulatory agencies such as
Human Rights, supervisors (who might be falsely accused), and employees to properly address
and resolve the issue at hand.
5.Policy Formulation:Regardless of the organization's size, company policies and procedures must be established to
ensure order in the workplace. These policies and procedures are put in place to provide each
employee with an understanding of what is expected of them. Similarly, these policies and
procedural guidelines will assist hiring managers in evaluating their employee's performance.
These policies can be established company-wide or used to define each department's function. It
is Human Resource's responsibility to collaborate with department managers on the formulation
of these policies and regulations to ensure a cohesive organization. A common practice is the
development and implementation of an Employee Procedure Manual or Employee Handbook
that is either distributed to each employee at the time of hire or a master copy allocated one to a
department.
6.Improvement of compensation packages:One of the major functions of the HR department is to motivate employees. This can be done
through rewards especially for those who have done well. The HR department needs to evaluate
performance of employees and those who have exceeded expectations should be compensated
for their actions. Research has shown that rewarding employees for good performance is the
number one incentive for keeping up this trend. These compensation packages can come in the
following ways;
Holidayoffers
Endofyearbonuses
Equities
Awards
Salary increments
7.Provision of flexible working hours:Straight forward promotion schemes and career developments. If the HR department includes
these incentives, then it will ensure that employees are satisfied with the Company. It will also
contribute towards good staff retention rates. This is especially crucial in increasing stability
within the organization.
8.Planning in the organization:The Human Resource Department is placed with the responsibility of ensuring that it
plans adequately for all the organizations future engagements that will involve people. One
important aspect of this is planning for employees in the organization. It is important that the
organization ensures that all the employees under its wing are just enough to increase value to
the organization. The Department must ensure that staff members are not too many because if
they exceed this amount, then the organization stands to lose. It must plan adequately to ensure
that staff members are not too few either, otherwise they will be overworking those who are
already in place. Consequently, there will be poor motivation resulting from fatigue. The HR
department is also bestowed with the responsibility of planning future organizational goal in
relation to people or clarifying these same goals to staff members. This function of the
department ensures that people in the organization have a general direction which they are
working towards. Organizations that have a clear direction are always more effective; those
members of staff will be more result oriented rather than just working for the sake of it. The
Department is also responsible for setting day to day objectives necessary for streamlining
activities within the organization and thus ensuring that work is not just done haphazardly.
The Human Resources Information Systems keeps track of the vast amount of data, a human
resources department must have a good HRIS in place to automate many functions such as
planning and tracking costs, monitoring and evaluating productivity levels, and the storing and
processing of employee records such as payroll, benefits, and personnel files. It is very important
that you, the job seeker, understand how the HR function works specifically in the area of
candidate recruitment. If you are considering a career in human resources, you can choose to
become a Generalist or a Specialist. Whether a job seeker or a HR professional, research a
company well before applying for a position.
1.PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT:The production department is responsible for ensuring quality is achieved in each item
produced. They will need to carry out inspections and implement suitable quality initiatives.
Production is the functional area responsible for turning inputs into finished outputs through a
series of processes. The Production Manager is responsible for making sure that raw materials
are provided and made into finished goods effectively. He or she must make sure that work is
carried out
smoothly and must supervise procedures for making work more efficient and more
enjoyable. In a manufacturingcompany the production function may be split into five subfunctions:1.The production and planning department will set standards and targets for each section
of the production process. The quantity and quality of products coming off a production line will
be closely monitored. In businesses focusing on lean production, quality will be monitored by
all employees at every stage of production, rather than at the end as is the case for businesses
using
a
quality
control
approach.
2. The purchasing department will be responsible for providing the materials,
components and equipment required to keep the production process running smoothly. A vital
aspect of this role is ensuring stocks arrive on time and to the right quality.
3. The stores department will be responsible for stocking all the necessary
tools,
spares, raw materials and equipment required to service the manufacturing process. Where
sourcing is unreliable, buffer stocks will need to be kept and
the use of computerized
stock control systems helps keep stocks at a
minimal but necessary level
forproductiontocontinue
unhindered.
4. The design and technical support department will be responsible for researching new
products or modifications to existing ones, estimating costs for producing in different quantities
and by using different methods. It will also be responsible for the design and testing of new
product processes and product types, together with thedevelopment of prototypes through to the
final
product.
5. The works department will be concerned with the manufacture of products. This will
include the maintenance of the production line and other necessary repairs. The works
department may also have responsibility for quality control and inspection.
Sub-Departments Of Production Department:In the Videocon d2h Industries the production department have following sub
departments1.Press Shop.
2. SMT Department.

Functions Of Production Department:1. The main role of production Department is to turn inputs (raw materials) into outputs (finished
goods).
2. The function of the production department is to produce our products on time, to the required
quality levels, at the defined product cost.
3. They will need to carry out inspections and implement suitable quality initiatives. This is one
of the major duties of this department because if mistakes are made on products, customer
satisfaction will be decreased or if products are ruined during the production process it means
that the company will have to throw "bad" products away (creating waste).
4. They also check the quality of the products.
5. They arrange things and they buy the raw materials for the products.
6. They also take care that the equipments and the machine are in right order.
7. Production and planning.

10. Works
PURCHASE DEPARTMENT :The Purchase department will be responsible for providing the materials, components and
equipment required to keep the production process running smoothly. A vital aspect of this role is
ensuring stocks arrive on time and to the right quality. Purchasing is the procurement of material,
supplies, machines, tools and equipments maintenance and operation of the business. Purchasing
must be of the right quality in proper quantity for delivery at the correct time at the most
favorable price from the outside. Purchasing refers to a business or organization attempting for
acquiring goods or services to accomplish the goals of the enterprise. Though there are several
organizations that attempt to set standards in the purchasing process, processes can vary greatly
between organizations. Purchasing managers/directors, and procurement managers /directors
guide the organizations acquisition procedures and standards. Most organizations use a threeway check as the foundation of their purchasing programs. This involves three departments in the
organization completing separate parts of the acquisition process. The three departments do not
all report to the same senior manager to prevent unethical practices and lend credibility to the
process. These departments can be purchasing, receiving; and accounts payable or engineering,
purchasing and accounts payable; or a plant manager, purchasing and accounts payable.
Combinations can vary significantly, but a purchasing department and accounts payable are
usually two of the three departmentsinvolved.When the receiving department is not involved, it's
typically called a two-way check or two-way purchase order. In this situation, the purchasing
department issues the purchase order receipt not required. When an invoice arrives against the
order, the accounts payable department will then go directly to the requestor of the purchase
order to verify that the goods or services were received. This is typically what is done for goods
and services that will bypass the receiving department. Historically, the purchasing department
issued Purchase Orders for supplies, services, equipment, and raw materials. Then, in an effort to
decrease the administrative costs associated with the repetitive ordering of basic consumable
items, Blanket" or "Master" Agreements were put into place. These types of agreements
typically have a longer duration and increased scope to maximize the Quantities of Scale
concept. When additional supplies are required, a simple release would be issued to the supplier
to provide the goods or services. This trend away from the daily procurement function (tactical
purchasing) resulted in several changes in the industry. The first was the reduction of personnel.
Purchasing departments were now smaller. There was no need for the army of clerks processing
orders for individual parts as in the past
Sub-Departments Of Purchase Department:In Videocon industries purchase department have following sub-departments1. Procurement Department.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT:We use the term information technology or IT to refer to an entire industry. In actuality,
information technology is the use of computers and software to manage information. In some
companies, this is referred to as Management Information Services(or MIS) or simply as
Information Services(or IS).The information technology department of a large company would
be responsible for storing information, protecting information, processing the information,
transmitting the information as necessary and later retrieving information as necessary. In
relative terms, it wasn't long ago that the Information Technology department might have
consisted of a single Computer Operator, who might be storing data on magnetic tape and then
putting it in a box down in the basement somewhere. The history of information technology is
fascinating! Check out these history of information technology resources for information on
everything from the history of IT to electronics inventions and even the top 10 IT bugs. In order
to perform the complex functions required of information technology departments today, the
modern Information Technology Department would use computers, servers and cryptography.
The department would be made up of several System Administrators, Database Administrators
and at least one Information Technology Manager. The group usually reports to the Chief
Information Officer (CIO).
In many companies, the final decision with selection of conference call vendors, web site
hosting, choice of primary and backup servers, and even the choice of a local and long distance
phone service provider will rest within the IT department. With an eye to making sure the
company has the best communication resources on hand that it can afford, the IT department is
much more than just a group of people who show up when your computer crashes. The IT
department plays a valuable role in making all other departments productive and successful in
their endeavors. Essentially, the IT department is a collection of persons who are experts when it
comes to electronic communications of all kinds. In addition to understanding what forms of
electronic data, visual, and audio communication are available, the IT department will be able to
evaluate available services and determine which services and vendors can provide the best
equipment and service support for the company. Along with making determinations about what
equipment to use and which vendors to work with, the IT department will also oversee the day to
day operations of all electronic communication devices within the company.

2. Anti-Virus updates.
3. Barcode server maintenance.
4. Database backup.
5.Records of assets

7.Performance of routine audits and maintenance of hardware and software.
8.Software design & development, selection, testing, installing and support.
Quality AssuranceDepartment
Accuracy of Quality Assurance
There is an extensive process of trial and error in order to ensure quality assurance. By
the end of the trials you arrive at an acceptable process that helps you decide the reliability and
efficiency of the sample. The process involves meeting specifications such as performance
measures and depends on environment operation. The cost of resulting in failure is very high
which result in the process of Quality Assurance to be extensive and it is acceptable to delay
production until all tests are done and double-checked.
To prevent mistakes from arising, several QA methodologies are used. However, QA does
not eliminate the need for QC: some product parameters are so critical that testing is still
essential. QC activities are treated as one of the overall QA processes.
5. Inspections and tests were carried out, and all components and materials, bought in or
otherwise, conformed to the specifications, and the measuring equipment was accurate,
this is the responsibility of the QA/QC department.
6. Any complaints received from the customers were satisfactorily dealt with in a timely
manner.
7. Feedback from the user/customer is used to review designs.
8. Consistent data recording and assessment and documentation integrity.
9. Product and/or process change management and notification.
If the specification does not reflect the true quality requirements, the product's quality
cannot be guaranteed. For instance, the parameters for a pressure vessel should cover not only
the material and dimensions but operating, environmental, safety, reliability and maintainability
requirements.
Main three part of Quality Assurance:i) Incoming Quality Assurance:- This consists of inspection of
Raw
Reliability testing consists of tests such as coal testing, humidity test, dry test, oil drop
test etc

FINANCE DEPARTMENT:The finance department of a business takes responsibility for organizing the financial and
accounting affairs including the preparation and presentation of appropriate accounts, and the
provision of financial information for managers. Most companies have Finance department in
their organization structure. Finance department is responsible for the financial administration
and management of the company in compliance with the financial rules and the financial
guidelines acting in this company. Finance department concerns finance flow management of the
company and is aimed to serving staff, managers, the Board of Directors and stakeholders and
securing the financial health of the company. The main goal of The Department is to provide the
internal and external users of financial statements with relevant, accurate and timely information

assets of the company. The Department takes care of finance flow to ensure that the company
operates within its financial regulations and satisfies various external financial requirements. It

proper organization of the finance system inside the company brings the positive and
fundamental effect to the company's competitiveness, demand and reputation. To organize stable
working process and activities in Finance department, there should be implemented a computer

all activities within Finance Department. Finance is the lifeblood and nerve center of a business,
just as circulation of blood is essential in the human body for maintaining life; finance is a very
essential to smooth running of the business. It has been rightly termed as universal lubricant that
keeps the enterprise dynamic. No business, whether big, medium or small can be started without
an adequate amount of finance. Right from the very beginning, i.e. conceiving an idea to
business, finance is needed to promote or establish the business, acquire fixed assets, make
investigations such as market surveys, etc, develop product, keep men and machine at work,
encourages management to make progress and create values. Even an existing concern may
require further finance for making improvement or expanding the business. Thus the importance
of finance cannot be over-emphasized and the subject of business finance has become utmost
important both to the academicians and practicing managers. The Finance department has a team
of professionals which regularly review the company's practices and converts personal skills into
efforts to continually improve the financial statements of the company. Through effective

finance manager is in charge of any financing and accounting function throughout the company.
The role of this position involves that of not only financing functions such as Accounts
Payable, Accounts Receivable and Billing, but it also involves that of budget projections and
working with the Chief Financial Officer to make sure that the companys funds are stable and
assisting with any budget cuts that become necessary. The finance manager is the head of both

MARKETING DEPARTMENT:-
Sales Planning
An essential sales leadership role is to establish a sense of purpose or vision and clear
direction to get there. A key element of a business strategic 12-month plan is to answer the
question: Where will all the sales come from? The sales plan is not a guesstimate. It takes its
direction from the marketing strategy and is based on thorough research and a considered
positioning of the company within the market place..
Sales planning involve predicting demand for the product and demand on the sales assets
(machines, people, or a combination of both). Failure to plan always means lost sales. Planning
insures that when a consumer wishes to purchase the product, the product is available, but it also
means opportunities for additional sales are presented and the sales assets are available to exploit
these opportunities. Planning should allow for meeting increasing customer demand for more
products, services and/or customization as the business is growing, but also react quickly when
demand decreases.
The sales reporting includes the key performance indicators of the sales force.The Key
Performance Indicators indicate whether or not the sales process is being operated effectively
and achieves the results as set forth in sales planning. It should enable the sales managers to take
timely corrective action deviate from projected values. It also allows senior management to
evaluate the sales manager.More "results related" than "process related" are information
regarding the sales funnel and the hit rate.Sales reporting can provide metrics for sales
management compensation. Rewarding the best managers without accurate and reliable sales
reports is not objective.Also, sales reports are made for internal use for top management. If other
divisions compensation plan depends on final results, it is needed to present results of sales
departments work to other departments.Finally, sales reports are required for investors, partners
and government, so the sales management system should have advanced reporting capabilities to
satisfy the needs of different stakeholders.

employees share their experience for the organization to achieve the goal. The inplant training
was informative & educative. It was a practically and I would like to conclude that Videocon is
the only Indian company competing with other multinational companies and surviving in the
