CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
Soap is a salt of a fatty acid used in a variety of cleansing and lubricating products .In a domestic
setting soaps are surfactants usually used for wasting, bathing, and other types of housekeeping In
industrial setting ,soap are used as thickeners ,components of some lubricants and precursors to
catalysis, When used for cleaning, soap solubilizes particles and grime, which can then be
separated from the article being cleaned. In hand washing, as a surfactant, when lathered with a
little water, soap kills microorganisms by disorganizing their membrane lipid bilayer and
denaturing their proteins It also emulsifies oils, enabling them to be carried away by running water.
Soap is created by mixing fats and oils with a base. Humans have used soap for millennia; evidence
exists for the production of soap-like materials in ancient Babylon around 2800 BC.
HISTORY
Box for Amigo del Obrero (Worker's Friend) soap from the 20th century, part of the Museo del
Objeto del Objeto collection.It is uncertain as to who was the first to invent soap. The earliest
recorded evidence of the production of soap-like materials dates back to around 2800 BC in ancient
Babylon. A formula for making soap was written on a Sumerian clay tablet around 2500 BC; the
soap was produced by heating a mixture of oil and wood ash, the earliest recorded chemical
reaction, and used for washing woolen clothing.
The Ebers papyrus (Egypt, 1550 BC) indicates the ancient Egyptians used soap as a medicine and
combined animal fats or vegetable oils with a soda ash substance called Trona to create their soaps.
Egyptian documents mention a similar substance was used in the preparation of wool for
weaving.[citation needed]. In the reign of Nabonidus (556—539 BC), a recipe for soap consisted
of uhulu [ashes], cypress [oil] and sesame [seed oil] "for washing the stones for the servant girls".
In the Southern Levant, the ashes from barilla plants, such as species of Salsola, saltwort (Seidlitzia
rosmarinus) and Anabasis, were used in soap production, known as potash.Traditionally, olive oil
4
was used instead of animal lard throughout the Levant, which was boiled in a copper cauldron for
several days. As the boiling progresses, alkali ashes and smaller quantities of quicklime were
added, and constantly stirred. In the case of lard, it required constant stirring while kept lukewarm
until it began to trace. Once it began to thicken, the brew was poured into a mold and left to cool
and harden for two weeks. After hardening, it was cut into smaller cakes. Aromatic herbs were
often added to the rendered soap to impart their fragrance, such as yarrow leaves, lavender,
germander, etc.
Roman Empire
The 2nd-century AD physician Galen describes soap-making using lye and prescribes washing to
carry away impurities from the body and clothes. The use of soap for personal cleanliness became
increasingly common in this period. According to Galen, the best soaps were Germanic, and soaps
from Gaul were second best. Zosimos of Panopolis, circa 300 AD, describes soap and soap making.
Pliny the Elder, whose writings chronicle life in the first century AD, describes soap as "an
invention of the Gauls".The word sapo, Latin for soap, likely was borrowed from an early
Germanic language and is cognate with Latin sebum, "tallow". It first appears in Pliny the Elder's
account,Historia Naturalis, which discusses the manufacture of soap from tallow and ashes. There
he mentions its use in the treatment of scrofulous sores, as well as among the Gauls as a dye to
redden hair which the men in Germania were more likely to use than women The Romans avoided
washing with harsh soaps before encountering the milder soaps used by the Gauls around 58
BC.Aretaeus of Cappadocia, writing in the 2nd century AD, observes among "Celts, which are
men called Gauls, those alkaline substances that are made into balls [...] called soap". The Romans'
preferred method of cleaning the body was to massage oil into the skin and then scrape away both
the oil and any dirt with a strigil.The standard design is a curved blade with a handle, all of which
is made of metal.
Ancient China
A detergent similar to soap was manufactured in ancient China from the seeds of Gleditsia sinensis.
Another traditional detergent is a mixture of pig pancreas and plant ash called zhuyizi (simplified
Chinese: 猪胰子; traditional Chinese: 豬胰子; pinyin: zhūyízǐ). Soap made of animal fat did not
5
appear in China until the modern era.[21] Soap-like detergents were not as popular as ointments
and creams.
Hard toilet soap with a pleasant smell was produced in the Middle East during the Islamic Golden
Age, when soap-making became an established industry. Recipes for soap-making are described
by Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi (c. 865—925), who also gave a recipe for producing glycerine
from olive oil. In the Middle East, soap was produced from the interaction of fatty oils and fats
with alkali. In Syria, soap was produced using olive oil together with alkali and lime. Soap was
exported from Syria to other parts of the Muslim world and to Europe.
A 12th-century document describes the process of soap production. It mentions the key ingredient,
alkali, which later became crucial to modern chemistry, derived from al-qaly or "ashes".
By the 13th century, the manufacture of soap in the Middle East had become a major cottage
industry, with sources in Nablus, Fes, Damascus, and Aleppo.[citation needed]
Medieval Europe
Soapmakers in Naples were members of a guild in the late sixth century (then under the control of
the Eastern Roman Empire), and in the eighth century, soap-making was well known in Italy and
Spain.The Carolingian capitulary De Villis, dating to around 800, representing the royal will of
Charlemagne, mentions soap as being one of the products the stewards of royal estates are to tally.
The lands of Medieval Spain were a leading soapmaker by 800, and soapmaking began in the
Kingdom of England about 1200. Soapmaking is mentioned both as "women's work" and as the
produce of "good workmen" alongside other necessities, such as the produce of carpenters,
blacksmiths, and bakers.
6
In Europe, soap in the 9th century was produced from animal fats and had an unpleasant smell.
This changed when olive oil began to be used in soap formulas instead, after which much of
Europe's soap production moved to the Mediterranean olive-growing regions.Hard toilet soap was
introduced to Europe by Arabs and gradually spread as a luxury item. It was often perfumed. By
the 15th century, the manufacture of soap in the Christendom had become virtually industrialized,
with sources in Antwerp, Castile, Marseille, Naples and venice.
15th—18th century
In France, by the second half of the 15th century, the semi-industrialized professional manufacture
of soap was concentrated in a few centers of Provence—Toulon, Hyères, and Marseille—which
supplied the rest of France.[29] In Marseilles, by 1525, production was concentrated in at least two
factories, and soap production at Marseille tended to eclipse the other Provençal centers.[30]
English manufacture tended to concentrate in London.[31]
Finer soaps were later produced in Europe from the 16th century, using vegetable oils (such as
olive oil) as opposed to animal fats. Many of these soaps are still produced, both industrially and
by small-scale artisans. Castile soap is a popular example of the vegetable-only soaps derived from
7
the oldest "white soap" of Italy. In 1634 Charles I granted the newly formed Society of Soapmakers
8
a monopoly in soap production who produced certificates from 'foure Countesses, and five
Viscountesses, and divers other Ladies and Gentlewomen of great credite and quality, besides
common Laundresses and others', testifying that 'the New White Soap washeth whiter and sweeter
than the Old Soap'.
During the Restoration era (February 1665 — August 1714) a soap tax was introduced in England,
which meant that until the mid-1800s, soap was a luxury, used regularly only by the well-to-do.
The soap manufacturing process was closely supervised by revenue officials who made sure that
soapmakers' equipment was kept under lock and key when not being supervised. Moreover, soap
could not be produced by small makers because of a law that stipulated that soap boilers must
manufacture a minimum quantity of one imperial ton at each boiling, which placed the process
beyond the reach of the average person. The soap trade was boosted and deregulated when the tax
was repealed in
Industrially manufactured bar soaps became available in the late 18th century, as advertising
campaigns in Europe and America promoted popular awareness of the relationship between
cleanliness and health. In modern times, the use of soap has become commonplace in industrialized
nations due to a better understanding of the role of hygiene in reducing the population size of
pathogenic microorganisms.

endorsements of cosmetics and soaps.
Until the Industrial Revolution, soapmaking was conducted on a small scale and the product was
rough. In 1780, James Keir established a chemical works at Tipton, for the manufacture of alkali
from the sulfates of potash and soda, to which he afterwards added a soap manufactory. The
method of extraction proceeded on a discovery of Keir's. In 1790, Nicolas Leblanc discovered how
to make alkali from common salt. Andrew Pears started making a high-quality, transparent soap,
Pears soap, in 1807 in London. His son-in-law, Thomas J. Barratt, became the brand manager (the
first of its kind) for Pears in 1865. In 1882, Barratt recruited English actress and socialite Lillie
Langtry to become the poster-girl for Pears soap, making her the first celebrity to endorse a
commercial product.
William Gossage produced low-priced, good-quality soap from the 1850s. Robert Spear Hudson
began manufacturing a soap powder in 1837, initially by grinding the soap with a mortar and
pestle. American manufacturer Benjamin T. Babbitt introduced marketing innovations that
included the sale of bar soap and distribution of product samples. William Hesketh Lever and his
brother, James, bought a small soap works in Warrington in 1886 and founded what is still one
10
Of the largest soap businesses, formerly called Lever Brothers and now called Unilever. These soap
businesses were among the first to employ large-scale advertising campaigns.

CHAPTER-2
COMPANY PROFILE:
HISTORICAL BACKROUND:
The Birth of Mysore Sandal Soap: The history of Mysore Sandal Soap dates back to the early 20th
century. It was in the year 1916 that the Mysore Sandal Soap, which was to become a legendary brand,
was first conceptualized and produced. The man behind this iconic creation was the then Maharaja of
Mysore, Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiya.
12
Nalwadi
Krishnaraja Wadiyar was an enlightened ruler with a strong sense of duty towards his subjects.
His vision extended beyond traditional governance, and he was deeply interested in the welfare
and economic development of the region. One of his major concerns was the preservation and
utilization of the abundant sandalwood forests in his kingdom.
Sandalwood had always been an essential natural resource for Mysore, but the Maharaja
recognized its potential not just as a source of revenue but also as a symbol of Mysore's identity.
His vision was to create a product that would not only celebrate sandalwood but also provide
employment opportunities for the local population. To turn his vision into reality, Maharaja
Krishnaraja Wadiyar established the Government Soap Factory in Bangalore (now Bengaluru) in
1916. This factory was the birthplace of Mysore Sandal Soap. The primary objective was to create
a soap that would be unique to the region and harness the goodness of sandalwood, a prized
resource of the Mysore kingdom. In the year 1980, the Government Soap Factory and the
13
sandalwood oil factories at Shimoga and Mysore were merged to form Karnataka Soaps and
Detergents Limited.
One of the key factors that make Mysore Sandal Soap stands out is its unique blend of ingredients.
Mysore Sandal Soap is the only the soap in the world having pure sandalwood as its primary
ingredient. The sandalwood is combined with glycerine and other natural components which make
it not just fragrant but also gentle on the skin. These components were carefully selected to ensure
that no harsh chemicals are used in the soap.
To insure the quality and prevent piracy and unauthorised use by other manufacturers the
Karnataka Soaps and Detergents Limited also owns a proprietary geographical indication tag on
the Mysore Sandal Soap since 2005.
Mysore Sandal Soap didn't remain confined to India's borders. It found its way into international
markets, where its exotic fragrance and Indian mystique appealed to a global audience. As the
soap's fame grew, it won several awards and accolades, cementing its status as a premium personal
care product. It also became a popular souvenir for travellers visiting India.
14
For centuries, India is the land of spices, ivory, precious gems magical charms and “Land of sandal
wood”. The world’s richest sandal wood resources are from isolated stretch of land in south India.
Karnataka is the original home of perfumed sandal wood. Its oil is mainly used for manufacturing
of soap. Thus it is regarded as a fragrant Ambassador of India
andt h e s a n d a l w o o d is r e g a r d e d as “ L i q u i d G o l d ” . K a r n a t a k a s t a t e
15
p r o d u c e s a m a j o r percentage of total production of sandal wood oil in the world. It was
this sandal wood oil which became a reason to setup factory in Karnataka.
G.S. Shastry a distinguished chemist sent to England by Maharaja to master the finer
aspect of soap manufacture. On his return Shastry cast the dye to on imprint that
created history “Mysore sandal” made at the new government soap factory .The factory which was
started as a very small unit with a capacity of 100 tones of soaps per annum at K. R. circle.
Bangalore in 1918 then it was shifted to a bigger unit at Rajajnagar industrial sub-urban, Bangalore
in July 1957. The total area of factory today is about 42 acres, which is registered office of the
organization with employees.
The event that bore fruits over seven decades in return planted with seeds of new enterprises. The
foundation grew stronger and KS&DL branched out in new direction.
Today the company has independent units to manufacture sandal wood oils, toilet soaps, washing
powder, detergent and industrial products.

OLD ADVERTISEMENT OF MYSORE SANDAL SOAP
In 1918, the Maharaja received a rare set of sandalwood oil soaps. This inspired him to produce
similar soaps for the public. To take things further, he asked Sir Visvesvaraya to make arrangements
for soap-making experiments at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc).
18
There, he discovered the brilliant chemist Sosale Garalapuri Shastry and sent him to England to
hone his soap-making skills. The diligent scientist, fondly remembered by many as Soap Shastry,
was instrumental in realizing Visveswaraya’s dream.
The first government soap factory was set up near K R Circle in Bengaluru to manufacture sandal
soap. In 1918, this technique of using sandalwood oil for making soaps was standardized. In the
same year, another factory for distilling oil from sandalwood was set up in Mysore.

SELECTED PROBLEM AREA:
Statement of the Problem:
“ E m p l o y e e e f f i c i e n c y a n d p r o d u c t i v i t y is l o w . B e c a u s e t h e
T r a i n i n g a n d Development Programme is not implemented properly” .
STUDY METHODOLOGY:
This is a s ys t em a t i c w ay to s o lve th e r es ear ch p r ob l em and it is an
impo rtan t component for the study without which researcher may not be able to
obtain the facts and figures from the employee.
Sources of Data:
Data was collected based on two sources:-
• Primary Data.
• Secondary Data.
Primary Data:
The primary data is collected with the help of questionnaires, which are
chosen because of its simplicity and reliability. Researchers can expect straight answers, which
are directly related to the question.
The asked interpretation of data under this can be done correctly. Because of this
questionnaire it is much helpful, in factors such as
obtainingchoic es and help ing r es p o n d en ts to u n d er s t and th e s ig n if i can ce an
d ans w er to their reliability. In this method rate and reliability is higher. In
addition to this the data was
collected through observation method, personal interviews and question schedule
in the place where questionnaire was not workable.
Secondary Data:
41
However in this study most of the information gathered was from the secondary
data that through books, journals, magazines, annual reports, etc.
Hence secondary data makes the main source for the data collected
Human resources refer to the individuals within the firm, and to the portion of the firm's
organization that deals with hiring, firing, training, and other personnel issues.
Human Resource Management (HRM):

Traditional Approach

traditional view that managers are born and not made. There were also some views that training is
a very costly affair and not worth. Organizations used to believe more in executive pinching. But
now the scenario seems to be changing.
Modern approach:
Modern approach of training and development is that Indian Organizations have realized the
importance of corporate training. Training is now considered as more of retention tool than a cost.
The training system in Indian Industry has been changed to create a smarter workforce
and yield the best results.
The principal objective of training and development division is to make sure the availability
of a skilled and willing workforce to an organization. In addition to that, there are four other
objectives: Individual, Organizational, Functional, and Societal.

the individual contribution to an organization.

and challenges of the society.Training is a process, which provides new dimensions to
the employees of the organization whereas the development helps to employees to develop their
weak areas to achieve the organisational objectives.
