Amul was founded in 1946 in Anand, Gujarat, India to help milk producers and stop exploitation by middlemen. It grew under the leadership of Tribhuvandas Patel and Dr. Verghese Kurien. Amul operates on a cooperative model with dairy cooperatives at the village level that are federated into larger unions. This model helped India become the largest milk producer in the world. Amul is known for its low cost strategy and iconic advertising featuring the Amul girl. It has a diverse product portfolio and a strong distribution network that has helped its annual turnover grow to $3.2 billion.

2. INTRODUCTION
 The Birth of Amul.
 It all began when milk became a symbol of protest
 Founded in 1946 to stop the exploitation by middlemen
 Inspired by the freedom movement
 Amul grew from strength to strength thanks to the inspired
leadership of Tribhuvandas Patel, the founder Chairman
and the committed professionalism of Dr Verghese
Kurien,who was entrusted the task of running the dairy from
1950.

3.  Dr Verghese Kurien, founder-chairman of the
GCMMF for more than 30 years (1973–2006), is
credited with the success of Amul.
 The word amul (अमूल) is derived from the Sanskrit
word amulya (अमूल्य), meaning priceless. Amul is
an Indian dairy cooperative, based at Anand in the
state of Gujarat, India. Formed in 1946.

4. HISTORY
 The seeds of this unusual saga were sown more than
65 years back in Anand, a small town in the state of
Gujarat in western India.
 In 1946, the farmers of this area went on a milk strike
refusing to be cowed down by the cartel.
 Under the inspiration of Sardar Patel, and the
guidance of leaders like Morarji Desai and
Tribhuvandas Patel, they formed their own
cooperative in 1946.

5.  The then Prime Minister of India, Lal
Bahadur Shastri decided that the same
approach should become the basis of a
National Dairy Development policy and it
should be emulated for the entire country.
 At his instance in 1965 the National Dairy
Development Board was set up with the
basic objective of replicating the Amul
model

6.  Dr. Kurien was chosen to head the
institution as its Chairman and asked to
replicate this model throughout the country.
 Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing
Federation Ltd. (GCMMF), is India's largest
food product marketing organisation with
annual turnover (2013-14) US$ 3.0 billion.

7.  For the year 2009-10, GCMMF has been
awarded "Golden Trophy" for its outstanding
export performance and contribution in dairy
products sector by APEDA.
 In 2013-14, GCMMF took giant strides in
expanding its presence in International
markets.
 Amul’s presence on Global Dairy Trade (GDT)
platform in which only the top six dairy players
of the world sell their products, has earned
respect and recognition across the world.

8. THE AMUL MODEL.
 The Amul Model of dairy development is a three-
tiered structure with the dairy cooperative
societies at the village level federated under a
milk union at the district level and a federation of
member unions at the state level.
 Establishment of a direct linkage between milk producers and
consumers by eliminating middlemen
 Milk Producers (farmers) control procurement, processing and
marketing
 Professional management

9. THE AMUL MODEL HAS HELPED
INDIA TO EMERGE AS THE
LARGEST MILK PRODUCER IN
THE WORLD. THEIR MILK IS
PROCESSED IN 184 DISTRICT
CO-OPERATIVE UNIONS AND
MARKETED BY 22 STATE
MARKETING FEDERATIONS,
ENSURING A BETTER LIFE FOR

STRATEGY.
 In 1966, Amul hired Sylvester , then managing
director of the advertising agency AS to design
an ad campaign for Amul Butter. daCunha
designed a campaign as series of hoardings
with topical ads, relating to day-to-day issues.
 It was popular and earned a Guinness world
record for the longest running ad campaign in
the world.
 In the 1980s, cartoon artist Kumar Morey and
script writer Bharat Dabholkar had been
involved with sketching the Amul ads.

12.  This was enabled by chairman Verghese Kurien
with creating a free atmosphere that fostered the
development of the ads.
 In 2013, Amul tweeted a picture featuring the
Amul butter girl, implying that 'freedom of choice'
died in '2013', in opposition to the Supreme Court
of India overruling the judgment of Delhi High
Court and criminalizing homosexuality again.
