Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah has said the cooperative movement in Gujarat is a matter of pride, as several of the countries in the world have expressed their surprise over the turnover figures of the Amul dairy’s cooperative brand.

The minister was addressing a gathering of milk producers in Panchmahal district of Gujarat after having remotely inaugurated two plants set up by the Godhra-based Panchamrut Dairy (Panchmahal District Co-operative Milk Producers’ Union Limited) in Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh and Malegaon in Maharashtra, among other projects.

“Today, the cooperative movement in Gujarat is a matter of pride,” Shah said, adding leaders from across the country and abroad were surprised when he talked about Amul or the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF).
