The magic of Amul experiment continues to attract foreigners and domestic visitors alike as last week one of the Union Ministers of State (Agriculture) Dr Sanjeev Balyan came calling to GCCMF headquarters at Anand in Gujarat.
Dr Sanjeev Balyan led a delegation which included two Members of Parliament to the happening site of the largest dairy cooperative major Amul. GCMMF’s vast network of dairy farmers and their empowerment in the process continue to attract attention at this unheard of social engineering brought about by the genius of the man Verghese Kurien.
The delegation met the senior officials of GCMMF including its Managing Director RS Sodhi who recently promised to take Amul to Rs 50,000 crore heights in a span of 5 years.
Only recently Amul had another extraordinary visitor in Prime Minister of Bhutan Tshering Tobgay leading a 19 member delegation. The high profile visitors were received by the cooperative major Chairman Jethabhai Patel and Managing Director R S Sodhi.
Bur Dr Balyan is not the first Minister in Narendra Modi Cabinet to visit Anand. Earlier, union minister of food processing industries Ms. Harsimarat Kaur Badal had visited Amul headquarters and paid glowing tributes to the Amul cooperative blueprint.
