AMUL MOTTO: The main motto behind the Amul movement is to help farmers of Kaira District. The Amul system works with the objectives of paying highest possible price to the milk suppliers and lowest possible price to the consumers. These farmers supply raw milk for which they are paid cash on a dairy basis of the milk they bring to the milk collection centers. Milk fetches them money to suffice their dairy necessities. Amul union is one of the pioneers which started using their profit from the milk suppliers welfare.
MISSION 2020: Six decades ago, Sardar Patel had envisioned that dairy cooperative movement could liberate our farmers from economic oppression and lead them to prosperity. His dream was carried forward by far-sighted and visionary leaders like Shri Tribhuvandas Patel and Shri Motibhai Chaudhary, who selflessly dedicated their entire lives to this noble cause. Through his professional acumen and
meticulous planning, as well as leadership skills; Dr. Verghese Kurien successfully translated this dream into reality. In early 1950’s, when our cooperative movement was still in its infancy, Dr. Kurien created the grand design for an apex marketing federation for dairy cooperatives of Gujarat. After 20 years of persistent efforts, this organization took concrete shape in 1973 and has today transformed into a US$ 1.4 billion dairy giant.
In view of growth in business volumes and related complexities, it is pertinent that we have a clear vision for the next 10 years. This will enable all relevant stakeholders to align themselves to a common growth platform. In line with objective, we have prepared a comprehensive roadmap to guide dairy cooperatives of Gujarat to a glorious future, in the year 2020. This plan, appropriately titled “Mission 2020”, envisages that the dairy cooperatives of Gujarat will have a group turnover of Rs. 27000 crores by the year 2020. This will be a three-fold increase over our current group turnover of approx. Rs. 9600 crores.
In view of the high demand and procurement projections, we plan to double to processing capacity of our dairy plants to 20.7 million kg per day, by 2020. I am glad to inform you that the plan 2020 has been shared with all the member unions. It has also been discussed in the respective boards and necessary resolutions for investments have also been taken. This detailed plan will serve as our comprehensive roadmap for the next ten years and will ensure a glorious future for our dairy cooperatives.
