Arvind Subramanian, Chief Economic Adviser govt of India has advocated replicating the Amul model in pulses to tackle the crisis, reports Business Standard.
Subramanian was delivering the Dr. Verghese Kurien Memorial Lecture in Anand, Gujarat.
The ‘Amul’ model follows the cooperative model, where farmer members of a cooperative collect milk and sell it under the farmer cooperative thereby fetching better price for farmers and increasing milk production. This turned the country into net importer of milk from its previous status of net exporter of milk.
Subramanian spoke in detail about how to ramp up pulse production in the country.
