Amul is an acronym (Anand Milk Union Limited) of the Indian cooperative society named Gujarat Milk Marketing Federation based in Anand, Gujarat.[2][3] It is under the ownership of Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Limited, Department of Cooperation, Government of Gujarat. It is controlled by 3.6 million milk producers.[4]
Amul was found on 19 December 1946 as a response to the exploitation of small dairy farmers by traders and agents. At the time, milk prices were arbitrarily determined, giving Polson an effective monopoly in milk collection from Kaira and its subsequent supply to Mumbai.[10][11]
Frustrated with the trade practices (which they perceived as unfair), the farmers of Kaira, led by Tribhuvandas Patel, approached Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who advised them to form a cooperative. If they did so, they would be able to directly supply their milk to the Bombay Milk Scheme instead of working for Polson.[12] Sardar Patel sent Morarji Desai to organise the farmers.[11]
The cooperative was further developed through the efforts of Verghese Kurien and H. M. Dalaya. Dalaya's innovation of making skim milk powder from buffalo milk was a technological breakthrough that revolutionised India's organised dairy industry.[15]
The GCMMF is the largest food product marketing organisation in India. As the apex organisation of the dairy cooperatives of Gujarat, it is the exclusive marketing organisation for products under the brand name Amul and Sagar. For more than five decades, dairy cooperatives in Gujarat have created an economic network that links more than 3.1 million village milk products with crores of consumers in India. In 2007, Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd crossed US$1 billion in its sales turnover and entered the elite club of food companies having this distinction from India.[19] In one more major achievement, the dairy cooperatives of Gujarat under the GCMMF fold crossed the mark of milk procurement of 10 million kilograms per day on 27 December 2007, which is the highest ever milk procurement achieved by any dairy network in India, be it private or cooperative. The entire quantity of milk received was accepted without any milk holidays and was processed successfully into milk and other milk products.[19]
Their ad on Aagey Badhta Hai India had an excellent response from the audience. It spoke about how their milk is seen as a household product, with a catchy tune associated with it. It has over 39 lakh (3.9 million) views on YouTube.[26]
Hi, I regularly drink milk and i prefer amul milk. As title, all dairy wala keep charging 1 rs more than MRP. WHAT CAN BE DONE ON THIS? IS IT LEGAL? I HAVE TO GIVE 1RS MORE FOR MILK AND AS WELL AS ON BUTTERMILK. They say it's charged by distributer , can I file any complaint on this ? Are you guys also facing same?
It clearly says on the packets that they are pasteurized which would mean they are safe to drink as it is, but I don't know if they are trustable with regard to their hygiene. I do feel however that the milk that comes in cartons(eg; Amul, Nandani) is safer. Again I am not sure I might be wrong there too and they could be unsafe.
Amul has already launched high-protein lassi, milkshakes and buttermilk, which it sells directly to consumers through its e-commerce platform. These products, however, contain 15-20 gm of protein. The milk cooperative also sells whey protein which costs Rs 2,000 for 960 gm.
In 1946, the Amul Cooperative was created as a reaction to the exploitation of local milk producers by the dealers and the agents of the main dairy of that time, the Polson dairy. The government had given monopolistic rights to Polson to collect milk from Kaira dairy farmers and supply it to the city of Mumbai.
With this, the ruling BJP has ousted the opposition Congress from the only milk cooperative dairy where the party held any sway. Once known to have a formidable presence in the cooperative sector, the Congress has lost its hold in all the 18 thriving milk cooperative unions, which play key roles in all elections.
