Amul Dairy (Kaira Milk Union) and GCMMF have decided to build a memorial to Vergese Kurien on Amul dairy campus to remind people of him and his great achievements. The memorial would especially seek to preserve such artefacts and details of Kurien’s life and activities as would inspire the coming generations.
The cooperative organisations that would erect the memorial are of the view that Kurien has been one of the most remarkable personalities in the post-independence India and his achievements have had an enormous mass appeal.
It is therefore in the fitness of things that his legacy and the ideas he adhered to throughout his life are preserved.
Sources say the basic decision on erecting the memorial has been reached but the actual activity of building the structure would be dealt with later.
