01
Introduction to
Amul
Background and History
Founded in 1946 in response to milk shortages in Gujarat, Amul
emerged from the vision of a dairy cooperative system
spearheaded by Verghese Kurien. It aimed to promote farmer
welfare, ensuring stable pricing and a reliable marketplace for milk
producers, ultimately leading to the establishment of the 'Operation
Flood' initiative.
Cooperative Model
Amul operates on a cooperative model that empowers farmers by
ensuring ownership and control over their production. Each milk
producer is a member of the cooperative, contributing to the
values of self-reliance and community. This model fosters
transparency and fair profit distribution, which has resulted in
sustainable growth and improved livelihoods for millions.
Key Achievements
Amul has grown to become a national symbol of
dairy development, achieving remarkable
milestones such as being the first to develop milk
powder in India and establishing a strong supply
chain that connects millions of farmers directly to
consumers. It has also garnered various awards
for quality and innovation in dairy product
offerings.

Women Empowerment

cooperative.
Sustainability Practices
