PROBLEMS OF SUPER MARKET IN U.P.

Abstract

The paper studies various problems which a super market has been facing since its origination in U.P. like; selecting a suitable site for locating the store, size of the store, rent and cost of management. A store must have sufficient capital to operate successfully, but it is not possible to find out the exact capital requirements of a store as they are relative and can be expressed in relation to the size of the stores. The Central Financing Agencies remain pre-occupied with Agricultural credit and therefore, they have not been able to finance the stores to any appreciable extent. RBI has not been making additional funds available to the central agencies for providing the stores with additional financial accommodation. In U.P. the position in general, in regarding to democratic management of the stores is far from satisfactory. N.C.C.F. is the Apex body of public distribution system which works under co-operative movement controlled by Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution. Apart from that the problems relating to Purchase and Sales, Home Delivery, Storage Facilities and Advertising are common in U.P. which is discussed in this paper.
