Right now Amul becomes 600 crores cooperative company. Which products exported in more than 60 countries.
So let's know how Dr. Varghese Kurian became successful and shone the name of India in the whole world.
Dr. Varghese Kurien was born on 26 November 1921 in Kozhikode district of Kerala state. He was born into a Syrian Kristen family.
He was always a bright student in his childhood. And completed his study in science in 1940. After completing his study he worked in the tata steel company for some time and continue his study during work. But you know it is interesting that in beginning Dr. Kurien was not interested in dairy.
But after getting the scholarship from the Indian government in dairy engineering of Imperial College of animal husbandry and dairy Engineering in Bangalore he studied for 9 months. And after that Indian government send him to the Michigan State University of America for special training.
During training, his interest increased in dairy technology.
Before Amul's foundation, he goes Newzealand and Australia with government help and learns milk production techniques.
After returning to America, Dr. Kurien worked with the Indian dairy department. and next year he send Anand, Gujarat for work that he became an engineer in the dairy creamery.
At that time dairy industry was in the hand of only a few private industrialists. And at that time farmers were didn't receive the right price for their milk.
Dr. Kurian also did not feel comfortable in his government job. And he leaves his job and ready to go then the Khera District cooperative milk producer Union founder sansthapak das stopped him and convenience him for work together. At that time anand farmer trust on Dr. Kurien and his work. By this dr. Kurien feel motivated.
