There are lot of misinformation circulated around on the internet about who started AMUL dairy and who really is the MILKMAN of INDIA. For people who does not know the real story, they are made to believe that Mr. Verghese Kurien is the dairy man. For these people I would like to educate who really is the Milk Man of India.
The founder of the dairy was none other than Shri Tribhuvandas Patel. He was chosen to by late Shri Sardar Vallabhai Patel to start the cooperative movement and form the dairy for the sake of the farmers. The idea behind behind the cooperative movement was to ask villagers not to sell milk to British supported Polson Dairy. Shri Tribhuvandas Patel walked to numerous villages by foot to convince people to stop selling milk for a month to polson dairy and the reason being the villagers were not well compensated against the milk purchase. The villagers agreed to Shri. T.L.Patel request. The concept of milk societies was formed. During this time Kurien was not even in Anand. T.k.Patel hired Kurien to fix an issue with the dairy manufacturing plant. How can a mechanical engineer be a milk man of India? To be a Milkman of India you have to be a farmer and have to contribute to the foundation of Amul. He was an Employee of an Amul and have contributed as many other employees have but the Father of the cooperative movement and White revolution is Shri. T.K.Patel. He is The Milkman of India.
He has started taking credit for the AMUL and Gujarat Marketing but in reality has nothing to do with it as far as founding these organization. He was chairman of NDDB but the organization was formed under the leadership of Shri. T.K.Patel and Shri Morajibhai Desai.
Not many people knows the story of AMUL and Anand. I am going to correct each and everyone.

Hope this helps people to understand who created AMUL and ancillary organizations in Anand.
