About this locality

Anand is one of the most economically transformative cities in Bharat, the home of Amul, the dairy cooperative that pioneered the White Revolution and made Bharat the world's largest milk producer. The National Dairy Development Board and the Amul cooperative model originated here under the visionary leadership of Tribhuvandas Patel and Verghese Kurien, whose work transformed the lives of millions of dairy farmers across Bharat. Anand is known as the Milk Capital of Bharat and the success of the Amul cooperative model, which empowered small dairy farmers through collective marketing, is studied in business schools worldwide as one of the most successful rural development initiatives in history.

Historical roots

The Amul cooperative was founded in 1946 under Tribhuvandas Patel's leadership to free dairy farmers from the exploitation of middlemen. When Verghese Kurien joined in 1949, he transformed a local cooperative into a national model. Operation Flood (1970-1996), replicating the Amul model across Bharat, made the country self-sufficient in milk and created the world's largest dairy industry. Kurien, known as the Milkman of India, is one of the great agricultural development visionaries of the 20th century.

Connectivity

Anand railway station is on the Western Railway Ahmedabad-Mumbai main line. NH-48 road connectivity. Approximately 40 km from Vadodara and 70 km from Ahmedabad.
