Father of White Revolution.

When the British left india, the situation of the Indian economy was not so good.

As india was partitioned, and an uneven division was noticed among industries and production areas.

India imported several basic food items such as wheat, rice, and milk powder.

Till the 1960's India used to be a large importer of milk powder.

But by 1970 India emerged as the largest producer of milk and also the lowest cost producer of milk.

The credit for it goes to the inspired leadership of Verghese Kurien also known as the 'Milkman of India'.

Verghese Kurien Work out a plan of cooperative Dairy farmers could own and manage their Enterprises however small they might be.

The White Revolution began as a simple experiment in Anand, a small town in Gujarat.

Kurien became the head of the National Dairy Development Board, the milk producer Cooperative that sent milk to the diary. Kurien showed how buffalo milk could be used for making condensed milk, baby food, and milk powder.

He established the brand name 'Amul' for these products.

It's quite appropriate that the white revolutions in the brand name are Amul which means 'priceless.

white revolution came to be called Operation Flood.

India's milkman not only built a model Institution of economic democracy but also generated can full jobs for farmers and milk producers.

Operation Flood led to the formation of nearly one lakh village Cooperative across the country to the benefit of small farmers and consumers.

Salute to him.
