Bhutan Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay on Tuesday visited the Amul Dairy in Anand and paid homage to the Father of Milk Revolution Dr. Verghese Kurien.
"I have heard so much about Amul, I have grown up experiencing Amul. I am delighted to be here to pay my respect to the spirit of Sardar Vallabhai Patel and Dr. Kurien," Tobgay told the media.
"There are milk co-operatives all over the world because farmers and social workers draw inspiration from Amul and Dr. Kurien," he added.
Amul's representative at the occasion, Ram Shankar said that Bhutan will benefit by practicing Amul's business model in its milk co-operatives.
