Verghese Kurien helped farmers in Gujarat form a cooperative called Amul in 1946 to get a fair price for their milk. As more farmers joined Amul and worked together, they were able to build collection centers, efficiently collect quality milk, and ensure fair prices. Amul created the popular "Amul girl" cartoon advertisements and expanded beyond just milk to make products like butter, cheese, and ice cream. By empowering farmers as owners through the cooperative model, Amul achieved great success and transformed India's dairy industry and rural communities.
