INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY
#n the year 1946 the first milk union was established. This union was started with %$0
liters of milk per day. #n the year 1955 /+:; was established. #n the year !<,1 the
union was known as KAIRA DISTRICT CO-OPERATIVE MILK PRODUCERS
UNION. This union selected the brand name /+:; in !<$$.
The brand name /mul means AMULYA. T!"# $%&' '(&")(' *%&+ ,!(

@utramul3 /mul +ilk and /mulya have made /mul a leading food brand in #ndia.
AThe total sale is Rs. 1 billion in %00$8. Today /mul is a symbol of many things like of
the high4uality products sold at reasonable prices3 of the genesis of a vast co4
operative network3 of the triumph of indigenous technology3 of the marketing savvy of
a farmersB organization. /nd have a proven model for dairy development A"enerally
known as ANAND PATTERN8.
#n the early ,0s3 the main sources of earning for the farmers of Caira district
were farming and selling of milk. That time there was high demand for milk in
'ombay. The main supplier of the milk was P%1#%. '-"&2 1"+",('3 which was a
privately owned company and held monopoly over the supply of milk at 3%+4-2
from the Caira district. This system leads to exploitation of poor and illiterates
farmers by the private traders. The traders used to beside the prices of milk and the
farmers were forced to accept it without uttering a single word.
&

Dowever3 when the exploitation became intolerable3 the farmers were frustrated.
They collectively appealed to S-&'-& V-11-4!4!-" P-,(13 who was a leading activist
in the freedom movement. )ardar ?atel advised the farmers to sell the milk on their
own by establishing a co4operative union3 #nstead of supplying milk to private
traders. )ardar ?atel sent the farmers to S!&" M%&-&5" D(#-" in order to gain his co4
operation and help. )hri .esai held a meeting at S-+-&/!- village near /nand3 on
4
,!
6-.7-&2 1946. De advised the farmers to form a society for collection of the
milkThese village societies would collect the milk themselves and would decide the
prices at which they can sell the milk. The district union was also form to collect the
milk from such village co4operative societies and to sell them. #t was also resolved
that the "overnment should be asked to buy milk from the union.
Dowever3 the govt. did not seem to help farmers by any means. #t gave the
negative response by turning down the demand for the milk. To respond to this
action of govt.3 the farmers of K-"&- '"#,&"0, went on a milk strike. 2or !$ whole days
not a single drop of milk was sold to the traders. /s a result the 'ombay milk scheme
was severely affected. The milk commissioner of 'ombay then visited /nand to
'
assess the situation. Daving seemed the condition3 he decided to fulfill the farmers
demand.

Thus their cooperative unions were forced at the village and district level to collect
and sell milk on a cooperative basis3 without the intervention of "overnment. M&.
V(&8!(#( K7&"(. showed main interest in establishing union who was supported by
S!&" T&"4!7)-.'-# P-,(1 who lead the farmers in forming the &o4operative unions
at the village level. The Caira district milk producers union was thus established in
ANAND and was registered formally on 14

D(0(+4(& 1946. )ince farmers sold all
the milk in /nand through a co4operative union3 it was commonly resolved to sell the
milk under the brand name AMUL.
