Founded in 1946 in the town of Anand, Gujarat, India, Amul, an acronym for "Anand Milk Union Limited," emerged as a cooperative society with a distinct mission. Established to empower local milk producers, predominantly farmers, and foster the advancement of the dairy industry in India, it holds a significant place in the country's economic landscape. The instrumental figure behind its formation and subsequent growth is Dr. Verghese Kurien, widely recognized as the "Father of the White Revolution in India." Under his guidance, Amul has played a pivotal role in transforming the dairy sector, embodying the cooperative spirit and contributing to the socio-economic development of the region.
