3. The Birth of Amul
Amul (Anand Milk Union Limited), formed in 1946,
is a dairy cooperative movement in India.
Founded in 1946 to stop the exploitation by
middlemen.
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.
