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).

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
