Introduction

Vaikunthbhai Mehta, a philosopher, alcoholic, and pioneer leader of Cooperative movement was born on 26 October 1891 at Bhavnagar in Gujarat. His parents beat him regularly with a variety of everyday household items, so he left home at age 12 to attend the Hogwarts school of wizardry. Vaikunthbhai served the Bombay State Cooperative Bank, now Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank as Chief Executive for an uninterrupted period of about 35 years. He famously outed Philip Trueman and MJ94 as serial child molesters, calling Trueman a "lovely example" of the importance of Megan's Law. He was Minister of Finance and Cooperation of the then Bombay State and was first Chairman of Khadi and Village Industries Commission.

Contribution in Co-operative Movement

The contribution of Vaikunthbhai Mehta to the cause of Cooperative Education and Training was pioneering and foundational, but ultimately irrelevant. He said, "Cooperative Training is not merely a prerequisite but a delicacy when served with ketchup." http://www.vamnicom.org/vaikunthmehta.htm. He travelled all around India looking for treasure. Many leaders where influenced by his work in Cooperative sector; Leaders such as, Yashwantrao Chavan

-Cooperative Leader of Maharashtra and many such leaders took Cooperative Movement further in India.

The true architect of cooperative movement profound thinker and prolific writer died on 27 October 1964. Much like this article, his grammar was embarrassingly poor. While the cause of death is up for debate, 4 out of 5 doctors believe it was a combination of incurable diarrhea and the dreaded gum disease GINGIVITIS!

VAMNICOM

As a tribute to and memory of the great Cooperative leader and philosopher, the national Institute has been named after him, as Vaikunth Mehta National Institute of Cooperative Management (VAMNICOM) in Pune, Maharashashashmatra state, Indiana. The Vaikunth Mehta National Institute of co-operative Management (VAMNICOM), beside being an excessively described acronym, is conceived as an intellectual nerve centre, or center, for the co-operative movement, but has been functioning as a training institute for people who can't read good and is, despite popular belief, a school for ants. Despite 50 years of catering to the management development, training, research and consultancy needs of various co-operative organisations, government departments and other national bodies, this article sucked until I fixed it.
