		Verghese Kurien, who was responsible for ushering in India's White Revolution, had once said he would fight for the dairy cooperative movement until his last breath.
		Kurien refutes this by saying that the bylaws, which permit him to be coopted as a dairy management expert, were approved by the then government before the GCMMF was founded.
		Kurien's detractors have often said he cannot let go of Amul and he is unwilling to allow the next generation to run the show.

		Dr Verghese Kurien found such an idea in 1946, rolled up his sleeves, and got down to raising an army of milk producers; today his 'army ' of the White Revolution `activists' all over India stands over 9-million strong.
		Kurien also had to forge his way through hurdles created by the "milk lobby" — the powerful dairy traders and local panchayat and zilla politicians — whose financial clout depended on their control of the milk trade, which the cooperative threatened.
		As chairman of NDDB Dr Kurien's major engagement was with Operation Flood, a spectacularly successful multipurpose programme that created a flood of milk that turned scarcity into surplus, popularly known as the White Revolution.

	Kurien criticises Gujarat govt's ''interference in GCMMF''
		Eighty four-year-old Dr Kurien also expressed concern over the future of the Federation and its 2.5 million farmer members because of groupism and bickerings among the Board members which was never witnessed in the past.
		Dr Kurien, who was recently appointed as the first Chancellor of the Allahabad University by the Union Human Resources Development Ministry, appealed to all Board members to remain united for the cause of the poor farmers and the great institution of GCMMF which was kept away from political interference till now.
		Recalling the contribution of the then leader Tribhubandas Patel in the establishment of the GCMMF in 1973, Dr Kurien said he was made the chairman of the Federation in 1974 by Mr Patel as he (Mr Patel) was opposed to any political interference in the co-operative sector.

	1989 World Food Prize Laureate Dr. Verghese Kurien
		Kurien used his experience to work with the manager of the local Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union to build an in-house processing plant and organize the cooperative to handle its own marketing directly to consumers.
		Despite these achievements, perhaps Dr. Kurien’s greatest contribution with Operation Flood was to put the farmer in command as the owner of her or his own cooperative – a pivotal factor in the program’s success.
		We need to have enough skilled people working in a self-actuating environment to produce innovation.” To this end, Dr. Kurien was instrumental in establishing and continues to chair the Institute of Rural Management in 1979, which has trained over 8300 specialists in the management and development of rural cooperatives, non-governmental organizations, and civic groups.

	The Hindu Business Line : Mother Dairy looking to piggyback State retail network — Kurien to take JV issue to ...
		Dr Verghese Kurien appears all set to stir the hornet's nest by educating the farmers on what he calls the undermining of their rights by such deals as the one Mother Dairy had struck with Kerala's Milma.
		Dr Kurien had other ideas when he chose Chennai later in the month as his next venue to criticise the NDDB subsidiary, Mother Dairy Food Ltd's (MDFL) outright wooing of State co-operative milk federations in a bid to access their massive retail reach.
		In the final analysis, Dr Kurien admits that the crown of the largest milk producing country in the world may have come for India with its share of thorns.

		Three eminent personalities, whose status as Directors on the Board of the Institute of Rural Management, Anand (IRMA), is the subject of an intense legal battle, were physically prevented from entering the campus to attend a meeting convened to formally approve the conferring of degrees on the 24th batch of students.
		At the heart of the problem is the alleged "autocratic" style of Dr. Kurien in running IRMA, a prestigious institution that he had built 25 years ago to prepare rural managers.
		Kurien says that the April 1 meeting itself was null and void as it had not been convened by him.

	Food & Beverage News: Top Stories - Proposal to convert it into a producer company
		Within two months after Dr Kurien bid a tearful adieu to the organisation which he created so passionately and nurtured and marketed so defiantly as a farmers' cooperative, Amul is being converted into a producer company.
		Dr Kurien has devoted a lifetime to realising his dream - empowering the farmers of India -- and engineered the milk cooperative movement in India.
		According to Dr Kurien, NDDB, under the pretence of helping the farmer, has floated joint venture companies and marginalised the farmer for whose benefit it has been created.

		Kurien's contribution in bringing forth a sleepy town Anand into the global map of cooperatives is highly aplauded and has also helped many people to gain employment.
		The government headed by Dr Manmohan Singh should ensure that the co-operative dairy system built by Dr Kurien is strengthened for the benefit of small farmers and milkmen,which was envisaged by Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri when he visited Anand as a Prime Minister of India.

	The milkman who always knocked twice
		Kurien is the man who brought the wonder of large-scale organisation to India's dairy sector. Whether it was the Polson Dairy in Kaira, Gujarat, back in 1949, or even NDDB today, Kurien has been an important part of India's White Revolution.
		Kurien, fed up with being at the government creamery, volunteered to help Tribhuvandas Patel, the chairman of the union, to set up a processing plant.
		Kurien since has engineered India's White Revolution, built Amul into a top brand in India, while also setting up NDDB to replicate the Amul experience across India, now the largest milk producer in the world.

		Dr Verghese Kurien on Tuesday announced that a second IRMA would be set up in Orissa.

	MAGINDIA - Kurien raps Milma for joining hands with NDDB
		Coming under Dr Kurien's fire was Mr P.T. Gopala Kurup, Chairman, Milma, who put up a brave face, quoting Ms K.R. Gowri, Agriculture and Dairy Development Minister, that if the JV went awry, there was nothing that stopped the State federation from moving out of the business arrangement.
		Clearly, this was not the kind of homecoming that Dr Kurien would have dreamt of as he is now forced to bite the bullet on Kerala becoming the first State dairy body to surrender its brand to NDDB, against which the father of white revolution seems to be engaged in a holy war.
		But Dr Kurien feels it would make more impact if a divorce were to take place than to pre-empt a marriage of convenience from taking place.

		When Dr Kurien voluntarily resigned as chairman of the NDDB in favour of his protégé Dr Amrita Patel in 1999, the adversaries had won half the battle.
		Over the years working with farmers, Dr Kurien learnt that agriculture development was more than using foreign ‘technology’ to turn potatoes into wafers or apples into watered-down fruit drinks.
		Dr Kurien’s exit therefore does not only mean re-packaging of the dairy cooperatives.
