And it is decreased in 2007-2008, 2009-2010 & 2010-2011.

8. Suggestions

1)      The  Dudh  Sangh should try to use maximum sources of raising funds   
such as to issue of debentures to raise fund from public deposits to issue  
Securities / Bonds etc. for raising funds at high level & that’s why  
Working capital increases.
2)      The Dudh Sangh has tried to utilize their funds properly. In the financial year
2006-2007 to 2010-2011 the company has mostly invest their funds either in
working capital or for purchasing fixed assets. The Dudh Sangh considers
another utilization source of funds.
3)Dudh Sangh has invested their most of the funds in working capital. I   
Suggest that the optimum working capital is maintained by the Dudh  
Sangh. The over working capital or under working capital is dangerous  
to the Dudh Sangh.
4)The raising long-term loans sources are used by the Dudh Sangh  
       during the financial year 2007-2008 & 2008-2009. But the repayment of long-
term loan is not shown in the usage of funds. The proper repayment of long-
term loan should be made.
