Amul: The White Revolution in Gujarat
The White Revolution is the achievement of Kaira district milk producers and co-operative union which owns and operates the Amul dairy. The success of the union is largely due to the patidars, a farming community to which Sardar Patel belonged.
In many villages separators had been set up, which created the problem of surplus skimmed milk for which there was no use. A German solved this problem around 1909 when he began preparing casein and exported it to Germany where it found many industrial uses. But he was arrested during World War I. But he had shown the way to an enterprising young Parsi, Pestonji Edulji Polson, who in order to meet the army demand for butter started manufacturing it in about 1915. By 1930, Polson set up a model dairy at Anand, and built up a lucrative business, enjoying a monopoly for many years.
