4. Mr. Verghese Kurien
Born 26 November 1921at Kozhikode Kerala
A.K.A Father of White Revolution in India
Bachelor of science (Physics) from Loyola College, Madras in 1941
BE (Mechanical) 7th rank from Madras University in 1944
Special studies in engineering from the TISCO at Jamshedpur 1946
Specialized training in dairy engineering at the National Dairy Research Institute, Bangalore
MSc (Mechanical engineering) with specialization on dairy engineering from Michigan State University in 1948
5. Entry at AMUL
Posted as a dairy engineer at a government creamery, Anand, in May 1949.
The same time Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers' Union (KDCMPUL) was fighting a battle with the Polson Dairy, which was privately owned.
Fed up with the creamery, he helpedShriTribhuvandas Patel, theChairmanof KDCMPUL, to set up a processing plant. This marked the birth of AMUL.
6. He was the chairman of Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd. which is the apex organization managing theAmulbrand.
From the White Revolution in 1966 Verghese Kuriens Amul experiment in Gujarat soon blossomed into the much larger Operation Flood, spread over 23 states, 170 districts and 90,000 village cooperatives. It changed India from an importer to the world's largest milk producer and exporter.
7. Changes brought about at AMUL
Tribhuvandas Patel organized the 200-odd milk producers of the surrounding Kaira district into a cooperative for supplying milk to the government-run Bombay Milk Scheme.
Kurien infused the new organization with his expertise in modern technology, management, powerful marketing and branding strategies, while preserving the cooperative spirit of the venture.
Skeptics had their doubts:
Could 'natives' handle sophisticated dairy equipment?
Could western-style milk products be processed from buffalo milk?
Could a mere farmers' cooperative market butter and cheese to sophisticated urban consumers?
8. The Amul team confounded the cynics by processing a variety of high-grade dairy products, for the first time from buffalo milk, and marketing them nationally against competition from corporate rivals.
9. Operation Flood
Dr Kurien's major engagement was with Operation Flood, a successful multipurpose programme that turned scarcity into surplus, popularly known as the White Revolution.
Operation Flood ran under Kurien's leadership in three phases for 26 years, with three principal objectives:
Making dairying India's largest self-sustainable rural employment programme
Bringing India close to self-sufficiency in milk production
Trebling the nation's milk production within a span of two-and-a-half decades to make India the world's largest milk producer
10. Hurdles Faced
The "milk lobby - the powerful dairy traders and local panchayat and zilla politicians who controlled of the milk trade, which the cooperative threatened. Kurien's cooperative venture was built on a simple but compelling logic mass consumption and mass production must go hand in hand to bring all round prosperity.
He led the producers in their struggle for command over the resources they created, a struggle to obtain equitable returns and a struggle for liberation from dependence on middlemen, a struggle against exploitation. It was an impossible task, and at times he faced threats to his life.
11. The result was the now famous Amul pattern evolved by Kurien.
It became a global role model for dairying as an instrument of rural development. In India the model has been extended to other commodities like edible oil, fruits, vegetables and salt.
