Re: [MTC Global] [HQ] MTC Global condoles demise of Verghese Kurien

Verghese Kurien, father of White Revolution, passed away in Nadiad, Gujarat on Sunday. Kurien, who turned 10 million farmers into a legendary cooperative, was 90-years-old.
"Kurien died a natural death due to his age," GCMMF MD said. Kurien

's body will be kept at Anand for public to pay tribute. Kurien was 28 when he came to Anand, Gujarat in 1949, and was soon working hard to help a budding cooperative to grow. For him the dairy farmers were the rightful owners of the milk business. 
Kurien revolutionised the milk industry when he produced milk powder from buffalo milk. The rest of the world used cow milk to make milk powder. 
Kurien replicated the Anand model throughout India as operation flood, making India the world's largest producer of milk. Today over 10 million farmers across the country at 200 dairies produce over 20 million litres of milk a day. 
As the milk man of India celebrates his 90th birthday, he also has an honest confession to make. "I don't drink milk. I don't like it," said Kurien.

 REST IN PEACE VARGHESE SIR!!!!

Dear Esteemed MTCians,

 

We, at MTC Global, express our heartfelt condolences to the family of Dr. Verghese Kurien at his demise this morning.

 

Dr. Kurien as an icon of India's cooperative movement and the dairy industry., Dr. Verghese Kurien. Dr. Kurien was an outstanding and innovative manager and an exceptional human being. His contribution to the welfare of the farmer and agricultural production and development of the country is immeasurable.

Dr Kurien was an icon of India's cooperative movement and the dairy industry. In his long and illustrious career, Dr. Kurien set up the Anand model of cooperative dairy development, engineered the White Revolution, and made India the largest milk producer in the world.

His greatest contribution was to give a position of pre-eminence to the farmer and his or her interests rather than those of middlemen.

He has left behind a void that would be very difficult to fill. Dr. Kurien will always be widely respected and admired for his ability to inspire and bring out the best from ordinary people.

 

May his soul rest in peace.

 

EDUCATE, EMPOWER, ELEVATE
