History of Amul Dairy Museum and Visitor Centre
The museum commemorates the Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers' Union Limited founded in 1946 at Anand to free milk producers from middlemen. Under the leadership of Tribhuvandas Patel and Dr. Verghese Kurien, the cooperative grew into the Amul brand and spearheaded Operation Flood, known as the White Revolution, which made India the world's largest milk producer from the 1970s onwards.
