Profile of Dr Verghese Kurien
Background
In India, around two-thirds of the population is involved in agriculture. Most are small
farmers, and many work on other people's land. Even these landless laborers, however,
keep a few buffalo or cattle to produce milk. In the late 1940s and earlier, private dairies,
middlemen, and inefficient collection and distribution systems resulted in milk of varying
quality being erratically available across the country, often at high prices to consumers
but with little profit for the producers.
Personal life
Kurien belongs to the Syrian Christian community of India. He married his neighbor's
daughter Molly. Molly was a gracious host and Dr Kurien's house used to serve as a guest
house in Anand for the visiting dignitaries .He has one daughter Nirmala Kurien and a
grandson, Siddharth.
Early Years, Education, and Career
Dr. Kurien was born on November 26, 1921, in Kerala, India. He received a Bachelor of
Science degree from Madras University in 1940 and went on to receive a Bachelor of
Mechanical Engineering from the same university in 1943. He received a Master of
Science and Mechanical Engineering degree with distinction from Michigan State
University in 1948 while on a government scholarship. He also completed special studies

in engineering at the Tata Iron and Steel Company Institute at Jamshedpur, Bihar, in 1946
and did nine months of specialized training in dairy engineering at the National Dairy
Research Institute of Bangalore.
With his extensive background in mechanical engineering, Dr. Kurien began work for
the Dairy Department of the Government of India as a dairy engineer in Anand, Gujarat
at the Government Research Creamery in 1949.
In 1965, Dr. Kurien was named chairman of the National Dairy Development Board
(NDDB). While serving as chairman, he developed a dairy program known as
Operation Flood. He continued serving in this position until his retirement in 1998.
In 1973, Dr. Kurien set up the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation
(GCMMF) to market the products produced by the Indian dairies (Amul brand) and
served as member and chairman until his resignation in 2006.
Founder of Dairy Cooperative System in India
The cornerstone of Dr. Kurien's endeavors is the individual dairy producer. In
collaboration with farmers, cooperative managers, and public officials, Dr. Kurien
successfully established the dairy program known across India as "Operation Flood that,
between 1970 and 1996, allowed dairy farmers to own and operate milk production,
processing, and marketing for the urban areas around the country.

Dr. Kurien used his experience to work with the manager of the local Kaira District
Cooperative Milk Producers Union to build an in-house processing plant and organize
the cooperative to handle its own marketing directly to consumers.
After years of initial struggle, the cooperative began to produce dramatic results,
involving over two million farmers. This led to the birth of Amul, the largest food product
business in India. Based on the cooperatives successes, Prime Minister Shri Lal Bahadur
Shastri created the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in 1965 to replicate the
model nationally. The Prime Minister cited Dr. Kurien's "extraordinary and dynamic
leadership" upon naming him chairman.
When Operation Flood began in 1970, total annual milk procurement was only 190,000
tons, with 278,000 farmers involved in the program. By 1998, at the time of Dr Kuriens
retirement as chairman, the NDDBs programs involved more than ten million dairy
producers in 81,000 cooperatives, supplying almost five million tons of milk annually to
over 1,000 cities and towns throughout the country. Reaching nearly 250 million people,
Operation Flood was the largest agricultural development program in the world. India
emerged as the largest producer of milk in the world in 1998, surpassing the United
States.
During the last 40 years, India's annual milk production has increased from 23.3 million
tons (1968-69) to 100.9 million tons (2006-07) and is projected to reach 113 million tons
for 2010-2011. The NBBD hopes to raise milk production to180 million tons by 2021-
2022. Daily per capita milk consumption in India has more than doubled from a low of
107 grams in 1970 to over 230 grams; the countrys dairy supply has been growing about
-

5/36
4 percent annually, while the population has been growing by less than 2 percent, thus
increasing the per capita availability of dietary proteins, especially in areas identified as
suffering from nutritional deficits.
As a result of Dr. Kuriens leadership, domestic milk prices have stabilized, India's towns
and cities now receive an adequate supply of hygienic milk, and the 12 million small
farmers and landless laborers who make up the majority of dairy cooperative membership
now have a regular source of income. In addition, 95 percent of the equipment used in
NBBD cooperatives is domestically produced.
Despite these achievements, perhaps Dr. Kuriens greatest contribution with Operation
Flood was to put the farmer in command as the owner of his or her own cooperative a
pivotal factor in the programs success. "These cooperatives created a grassroots
foundation underpinning India's democracy," said Lalit Mansingh, Charge d'Affaires for
the Embassy of India in the United States. Endowed with decision-making capacities,
some leaders in cooperative-member communities have built facilities like libraries and
healthcare centers with their profits. The success of the Operation Flood management
model led to its application to other commodities. Fruits and vegetables are now produced
and marketed through a cooperative system involving a network of over 250 farmer-
owned retail stores in Delhi.

"Without effective methods of distribution, food has no way of reaching the tables of the
world's population," Dr. Borlaug said upon conferring the 1989 World Food Prize on Dr.
Kurien. With almost 60 years of dedication to improving the practice and teaching of
effective food distribution, Dr. Kurien educated and inspired food producers around the
world.
Verghese Kurien (born November 26, 1921 at Kozhikode, Kerala) is the founder of the
Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), an apex cooperative
organization that manages the Amul food brand. He is recognised as the man behind the
success of the Amul brand. Amul had a revenue of $1b USD in 2006-07.
He is credited with being the architect of Operation Flood -- the largest dairy
development program in the world. Kurien helped modernise Anand model of
cooperative dairy development and thus engineered the White Revolution in India, and
made India the largest milk producer in the world.

Dr Verghese Kurien and his Contribution
Inception of Amul
About some 100 kms from Ahmedabad lies a small city named Anand. The city is known
as the Milk Capital of India due to presence of the famous Amul Dairy there. Amul one
of the most famous Dairy brands of our country came into existence in 1946. During that
time there was only one dairy in the district of Anand and in Gujarat known as Polson
Dairy which had been established in 1930. Polson Dairy was providing superior quality
dairy products to up-market consumers. However it was involved in the exploitation of
Indian farmers by not providing sufficient amount to them for milk and also not allowing
them to sell milk to other vendors. Indian national leader Sardar Patel along with agitated
farmers of that area initiated a non-cooperation movement against this process in the year
1946 and this lead to the foundation of Amul on 14 th December 1946. Initially it supplied
milk and other dairy products without any formalized distribution network or any supply
chain in place. The brand name Amul had not been adopted at that time and it was called
KDCMPUL (Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers union Limited). It started
initially with two dairy co-operative societies and 247 liters of milk only.
Dr. Verghese Kurien and Amul
It was on 13 th May 1949, a young engineer who had just completed his Masters Degree in
Dairy Engineering arrived at Anand to serve the bond period against the government
scholarship for his education. His name was Mr. Verghese Kurien, later to be known to
the whole world as Dr. Verghese Kurien. At the start of it all, he served there just to
complete his required period and was ready to leave Amul after that but he was persuaded
-
8/12/2019 Ash Rahul
9/36
to stay back at Amul by Mr. Tribhuvandas Patel the founder of KDCMPUL. He along
with Mr. Patel started developing co-operatives in the Kheda district. The role of co-
operatives was to procure the milk from the farmers and to pay the farmers their
appropriate amount according to the quality of milk. Further detailed operation cycle of
the co-operatives is explained in the following section. Mr. Kurien however wanted to
give KDCMPUL a unique name which could be easily pronounced by all and which
could also help in growth of the union. Suggestions were asked from various employees
and farmers for an appropriate name. Soon, a quality control supervisor recommended the
name Amulya which is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning priceless and implies
unmatchable excellence. The name was modified to Amul to make the union also a part
of this name and hence brand AMUL- Anand Milk Union Limited, came into existence.
Operation of Co-operative Model
Amul formed several co-operative societies for a group of villages. These co-operative
societies had the task of collecting milk from the village farmers twice a day. The
payment was made to the farmers according to the fat content in the milk. Sufficient steps
(such as standard fat measurement machine, surprise checks, educating farmers etc.) were
taken to prevent malpractices and enhance the overall process. These milk cans were
then transferred to nearby Milk Chiller Unit on the same day. It was kept in storage there
for few hours then they were transferred for the pasteurization and finally to the cooling
and packaging unit. After that milk was delivered to the wholesale distributor and then to
the retailers and finally to the consumer thus following two-level distribution marketing
channel. The upstream supply chain was entirely designed by Dr. Kurien and Mr.

Tribhuvandas Patel as a result of which the co-operative mechanism kept getting better
and by the end of 1960 Amul had become a success story in Gujarat.

Dr. Verghese Kurien - Father of the Milk Revolution of India
Dr. Verghese Kurien, the father of the milk revolution or the white revolution of India, is
fondly remembered for playing a pivotal role in making India the world leader in milk
production. It is just 1 year since he passed away at the age of 91 years on September 9,
2012. He was born in Kozhikode, Kerala in 1921. He has won the World Food Prize, the
Padma Vibhushan and the Ramon Magasay Award.
Dr. Verghese Kurien spearheaded Operation Flood which led to India becoming the
leading nation in milk production and beat the USA in 1998. Due to Operation Flood,
India which was earlier struggling to provide milk for its own people became self-
sufficient for the first time in the production of milk and dairy-related products. Within
two decades, India transformed itself from a milk importer to a milk and dairy products
exporter. His name is synonymous with Amul, but apart from Amul, he established
approximately 30 institutions like the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB),
Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA) and Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing
Federation (GCMMF).
Dr. Verghese Kurien was mentored by Tribhuvandas Patel who shared the Ramon
Magasay Award with him and was the brainchild behind forming cooperatives for dairy
farming. Under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Verghese Kurien, the cooperative model of
dairy farming spread to many Gujarati districts and was then adopted all over India and
even spread abroad. Buffalo milk which is in abundance in India was used instead of
cows milk for making skimmed and condensed milk which helped the Amul brand
compete with brands like Nestle. Technological support and know-how was provided to
local dairy farmers and the cooperative movement also empowered women to be dairy
entrepreneurs. Dr. Verghese Kurien was thus heralded as the milkman of India and
-
8/12/2019 Ash Rahul
12/36
helped in mitigating poverty due to the empowering dairy farming cooperative
movement. The ironic aspect of Dr. Verghese Kurien being the milkman of India was
that Dr. Kurien did not drink milk.

Operation Flood The white Revolution
The year was 1964 when our Prime Minister Mr. Lal Bahadur Shastri was invited to
Anand to inaugurate the new cattle-feed plant of Amul. He was supposed to return
back by end of the day but after reaching Anand he insisted to stay there to learn
about the success of the co-operatives. He visited almost all the co-operatives with Dr.
Kurien and was impressed with the process with which Amul was sourcing the milk
from farmers and at the same time helping them to improve their economic condition.
Later, he returned to Delhi and asked Dr. Kurien to replicate the Amul pattern across
the country. The combined effort resulted in creation of the National Dairy
Development Board (NDDB) in the year 1965. Dr. Kurien took charge of NDDB and
began the herculean task of replicating the overall pattern of the working at Anand to
other parts of the country. By this time the demand for milk was growing at a faster
rate than the supply of milk. India could have easily become the largest importer of

milk like Sri Lanka were, had sufficient steps not been taken at that time by the Indian
government and NDDB. Money was the biggest problem faced by NDDB during that
period and was a critical resource needed to revolutionize the milk industry. To deal
with it, NDDB tried to pursue World Bank for loans and other grants with no
conditions at all. When the President of World Bank came to India in 1969, Dr.
Kurien told him Give me money and forget about it. A few days later, World
Bank approved the loan for NDDB without even a single condition. This help was
part of an operation, later known as Operation Flood which was done to replicate
the Anand working pattern across India. Operation Flood was subsequently
implemented in India in three phases adding around 0.1 million co-operatives and 5
million milk producers. Dr. Kurien also took several other measures such as
developing milk powder, developing several varieties of dairy products, emphasis on
the health of cattle and development of vaccines etc. In 1973, he also set up GCMMF
(Gujarat co-operative milk marketing federation) an individual marketing unit of
Amul to sell the Amul as a brand in India as well as abroad. He also founded IRMA
Institute of Rural Management Anand in 1979, to pass on the gained knowledge to
future generations and to place rural India on the front map.
As a result of these combined efforts, Amul currently boasts of 15 million milk
producers pouring their milk in 1,44,246 dairy co-operative societies across the
country a huge chain that has resulted in us being the largest milk producing
country today.
This has been the story of a young engineer who was born in Calicut and was later
known as the father of White Revolution and was honored with some of the most
prestigious Government awards like Padma Vibhushan, Ramon Magsaysay and
Krushi Ratna etc. He took his last breath on 9 thDecember 2012 but he will always be

remembered for his immense contribution to the farmers, to the Amul Brand and to
the millions of consumers of dairy products.

Father of White Revolution Passes Away
Dr. Verghese Kurien, the Father of the White Revolution, passed away in the early hours
of today, after a brief illness. He was 91 years old. He is survived by his wife, Molly
Kurien, daughter Nirmala and grandson, Siddharth.
Dr. Kurien, was the architect of India';s White Revolution, which helped India emerge as
the largest milk producer in the world. Founder Chairman of the National Dairy
Development Board (NDDB) from 1965 to 1998, the Gujarat Co-operative Milk
Marketing Federation Ltd. (GCMMF), from 1973 to 2006 and the Institute of Rural
Management (IRMA) from 1979 to 2006, his professional life has been dedicated to
empowering the Indian farmers through co-operatives. Dr. Kurien has helped to lay the
foundation of democratic enterprises at the grass roots. He believed that by placing
technology and professional management in the hands of the farmers, the standard of
living of millions of our poor people can be improved.
The cooperative movement, he helped to create became a model not only for India, but
for developing countries throughout the world. The Operation Flood Programme, of
which Milk Producers'; Cooperatives were the central plank, emerged as India';s largest
rural employment programme and unleashed the larger dimension of dairy development.
Dr. Kurien was the undisputed 'Milkman'; of India. Born on November 26, 1921 at
Kozhikode, Kerala, he graduated in Science from the Loyola College in 1940 and
obtained hisdegree in Engineering from the Guindy College of Engineering in Chennai.
After a stint at TISCO, Jamshedpur, he obtained the Govt. of India';s scholarship to study
Dairy Engineering. After some specialized training at the Imperial Institute of Animal
Husbandry & Dairying, Bangalore, he left for the United States where he completed his
-
8/12/2019 Ash Rahul
18/36
Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering with Dairy Engineering as a minor subject
from the Michigan State University in 1948.
Upon his return to India, Dr. Kurien was assigned to a Government Creamery located at
Anand in Gujarat to serve his bond period. He arrived in Anand on Friday, the 13th May
1949. His only intention at that time was to obtain a release from his bond and get out of
Anand as quickly as possible. At the end of 1949, when he got release orders from his job
from the Government Creamery, he was all set and eager to pack off to Mumbai. Shri
Tribhuvandas Patel, the then Chairman of Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers
Union (popularly known as Amul), with whom Kurien had developed a friendship
requested him to stay on in Anand for some more time and help him put his co-operative
society';s dairy equipment together. Kurien decided to stay back for a few more days and
stayed there forever.
His forced tenure at Anand changed the destiny of Indian Dairy industry. He started
helping the fledgling dairy co-operative. The rest is history.
The first Dairy Co-operative Union in Gujarat was formed in 1946 with 2 Village Dairy
Co-operative societies as its members. The number of member societies has now
increased to 16,100, with 3.2 million members pouring milk every day- twice a day.
Today, the Billion Dollar GCMMF has emerged as the India';s largest integrated dairy
products manufacturing and marketing organization. NDDB, formed by the efforts of Dr.
Kurien ensured replication of Amul Model across India. Thereby, it played an
instrumental role in increasing the milk production of India significantly. India';s milk
procurement has increased from 20 million metric tonnes per year in the 60s to 122
-
8/12/2019 Ash Rahul
19/36
million metric tonnes in 2011.
His work has received tremendous national and international recognition. The Govt. of
India conferred on him the "Padma Vibhushan", the second highest honour in the land
next only to Bharat Ratna. He is also the recipient of the World Food Price, the Ramon
Magsaysay award for Community Leadership, the Carnegie - Wateler World Peace Prize
and the International Person of the Year award from the U.S.
Dr. Kurien';s main contribution has been in designing of systems and institutions, which
enable people to develop themselves, as he believed the development of man can best be
achieved by putting in his hands the instruments of development. He believed that the
greatest assets of this country, were its people and he dedicated his life to the task of
harnessing the power of the people in a manner which promoted their larger interests.
Tribute by GCMMF Chairman :
Paying respectful homage to Dr V Kurien, Shri Vipul Chaudhary,Chairman,GCMMF said
" Dr. Kurien was the Father of the White Revolution. Dr Kurien guided the dairy co
operative movement in India and brought social and economic development in the lives
of milk producers of the country. Dr Kurien was always an advisor and mentor of milk
producers. Due to the efforts of the farmers of Kaira district and Gujarat, Amul brand has
emerged as the undisputed force to reckon with. Dr Kurien always dreamt that "Amul"
brand should be associated with all milk producers'; across India. He also wanted that
Amul brand in real sense should become the "Taste of India" when it is associated with
all India milk producers. We are committed to fulfilling his dream. This will be the real
tribute to Dr Kurien.".

Some Quote of Dr Verghese Kurien
On milk pricing
"I am supposed to exploit the consumer; and I will (exploit them), but not in a way that
will create resentment. I have to milk the consumer. And milk them I will, but gently."
Farmer power
"What you need is good management with farmer power. Good management gives this
power the right direction and thrust. Nothing can stop the farmers then. Least of all the
MNCs."
To Nestle
"So, Mr Kreeber, what do you think of the natives now?" Kurien told a Nestle official
who had come to do business with farmers of Anand. The company had earlier refused
technology help to India as it could not let "natives handle a sensitive commodity like
milk ".
Emotional moment
"I could not go, when he (Tribhuvandas Patel) said Anand needs you." -Recounting a
turning point in his career
-
8/12/2019 Ash Rahul
23/36
On Amul
"Who told you there is one Amul? There are more than 175 Amuls across various districts
(in Gujarat)."
Why cooperative model is must for milk
"Milk is the only commodity which has to be collected twice a day, every day of the year.
Thus, cooperatives are the only logical system for the dairy industry. About 85% of the
industry in the US, Denmark and Australia is run by cooperatives. No other system will
work for milk."
