Verghese Kurien: The Man Who Brought Milk to a Million Homes

MS Meenakshi
4.62/5 (8 ratings)
Verghese Kurien, the ‘Milkman of India’ was a spearhead of the
White Revolution, orchestrating a grid of small-scale cooperatives
to make India a self-sufficient producer of milk in the 1970s.
The resounding success of the initiative revolutionised the
system of dairy management in the country, along with bringing
about systemic changes in rural social milieus, industries and
developmental policies. This book charts Kurien’s journey as a
precocious, misfit engineer in Anand, Gujarat, at the beginning
of his career to his extraordinary achievements in dairy and agromanagement
as a formidable social entrepreneur and the architect
of Operation Flood, by linking the country together through milk,
a staple necessity.
Creating establishments like AMUL and Institute of Rural
Management, Anand, Kurien proved that his first fidelity was
always towards rural stakeholders, standing his ground against
bureaucratic corruption, inefficient officials and self-serving
lobbies. This monograph illustrates his pragmatic leadership and
vision for sustainable development as an inspiring road map for
future thinkers of India
