The brand of Amul is known world over: PM @narendramodi in Anand @Amul_Coop
Today, Amul has become an inspiration world over. People from overseas also ask me about Amul.

Amul is not only about milk processing. This is an excellent model of empowerment: PM @narendramodi in Anand @Amul_Coop
In various parts of the world, at various times we saw what socialism is, we also saw capitalism. But, through Amul Sardar Patel showed another way. Here is a way where neither Government or industrialists call the shots. It is the people who matter. This is a unique model: PM

A century ago, Sardar Patel entered civic politics of Ahmedabad. He won from Dariapur. His margin of victory then was 1 vote. When he assumed office as the head of the municipality, he laid emphasis on urban development, planning and in that he worked on cooperative housing: PM

Guided by Sardar Patel, Pritamrai Desai Ji worked on cooperative housing in a big way in Ahmedabad. These efforts gave wings to the aspirations of several people: PM @narendramodi

Not only Amul, people in North Gujarat also worked in the cooperative sector. We have the Banas Dairy, the Dudhsagar Dairy. All these endeavours helped the people of Gujarat, particularly the farmers: PM @narendramodi in Anand

For a long time, we had people sitting in Gandhinagar who disliked the cooperatives. They prevented the sector from acquiring a foothold in Saurashtra. Things changed after the late 1990s and today almost all districts in Gujarat are doing well in the sector: PM @narendramodi

A long time back, I had gone to Kutch and spoken about the need to popularise camel milk. That time a group of people mocked me.

But, today the camel milk chocolate of Amul is doing well: PM @narendramodi
We are focussing on Jan Dhan, Van Dhan and Gobar Dhan. This will help our farmers: PM @narendramodi

In a few years, Amul will complete 75 years. This is a team that is unstoppable. I admire their spirit. Let us think about what targets Amul can set for their own 75th anniversary and for 2022, when India marks 75 years of freedom: PM @narendramodi

We are doing well in milk processing but we can do even better. And, I am sure if Amul thinks in this direction, it will surely happen even faster: PM @narendramodi

There was a time when there would be scarcity. We had to import food grains.

Now, things have changed. Today, the time has come to give importance to innovation and value addition: PM @narendramodi in Anand
I told several dairies in Gujarat to also work on the sweet revolution, which is related to honeybees. I am aware that Banas Dairy and the dairy in Amreli have done commendable work in this direction. I urge more dairies to also devote attention to this: PM @narendramodi
