3. History
Amul-cooperative registered on 14 December 1946 as a response to
the exploitation of marginal milk producers by traders or agents in
the small city distances to deliver milk.
The prices of milk were arbitrarily determined. The government had
given monopoly rights to collect milk from Kaira and supply it to
Bombay city.
Angered by the unfair trade practices, the farmers of Kaira
approached Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel under the leadership of local
farmer leader Tribhuvandas K. Patel. He advised them to form a
cooperative (Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers' Union)
and supply milk directly

operative, while providing
employment to the poor farmers.
