Verghese Kurien was an Indian social entrepreneur known as the "Father of the White Revolution" in India. He was born in 1921 in Kerala and studied mechanical engineering. In 1949, he joined the Anand milk cooperative in Gujarat and helped transform it into the largest food organization in Asia called Amul. Under his leadership, Amul introduced innovative practices that gave fair prices to farmers and quality products to consumers. He also established the National Dairy Development Board and Institute of Rural Management Anand to promote the dairy industry across India, benefiting millions of rural families. Kurien faced many challenges but succeeded in making India the largest milk producer in the world through his cooperative model.
