INTRODUCTION
AMUL means "priceless" in Sanskrit. The brand name "Amul," from the Sanskrit
"Amoolya," was suggested by a quality control expert in Anand. Variants, all meaning
"priceless", are found in several Indian languages.............AMUL means "priceless" in
Sanskrit. The brand name "Amul," from the Sanskrit "Amoolya," was suggested by a
quality control expert.
Amul was set up in 1946 and its full form is Anand Milk- producers Union Ltd. The
Brand Amul is a movement in dairy cooperative in India. The management of the brand
name is done by the Gujarat Co- operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd GCMMF
which is a cooperative organization.Amul is located in the town Anand which is in the
state of Gujarat and it has set up itself as a model for development
Amuls tagline The Taste of India can not be doubted under any source of imagination.
The story of Amul (Anand Milk Union Limited) started in 1946 with 247 litres of milk to
do away with the exploitation of middlemen in milk collection and give the villagers
maximum returns. From then, Amul operating under Gujarat Co-operative Milk
Marketing Federation Ltd. (GCMMF) is today jointly owned by 25 lakh milk producers
in Gujarat, with 11,962 village level milk collection centers.

AMUL is based in Anand, Gujarat and has been a sterling example of a co-operative
organization's success in the long term. It is one of the best examples of co-operative
achievement in the developing world. "Anyone who has seen ... the dairy cooperatives in
the state of Gujarat, especially the highly successful one known as AMUL, will naturally
wonder what combination of influences and incentives is needed to multiply such a
model a thousand times over in developing regions everywhere." The Amul Pattern has
established itself as a uniquely appropriate model for rural development. Amul has
spurred the White Revolution of India, which has made India the largest producer of milk
and milk products in the world. It is also the world's biggest vegetarian cheese brand..
Amul is the largest food brand in India and world's Largest Pouched Milk Brand with an
annual turnover of US $1050 million (2006-07) .Currently Amul has 2.6 million producer
members with milk collection average of 10.16 million litres per day. Besides India,
Amul has entered overseas markets such as Mauritius, UAE, USA, Bangladesh
Australia, China, Singapore, Hong Kong and a few South African countries. Its bid to
enter Japanese market in 1994 had not succeeded, but now it has fresh plans of flooding
the Japanese markets. Other potential markets being considered include Sri Lanka.
Dr Verghese Kurien, former chairman of the GCMMF, is recognised as the man behind
the success of Amul. On 10 Aug 2006 Parthi Bhatol, chairman of the Banaskantha Union,
was elected chairman of GCMMF.
In 2005-2006, Amul has an average daily milk collection of 63 lakhs litres with a
handling capacity of 99 lakh litres. The striking truth is that being a cooperative, it had
Rs. 3,774 crore turnover and planning actively to take it up to the 10,000 crore mark. This
is what makes Amul a unique, Rs 2,200 crore enterprise.
Out of the entire milk procured, approximately 40 per cent is sold as liquid milk and 60
per cent is converted to value added products. Amul has taken on multinationals head on,
HLL in ice-creams, Cadbury in chocolates, Nestle in dairy powder, and commands a
staggering 86 per cent market share in butter. Recently, Amul even did not show interest
in Hersheys proposal of a tieup.
Amul advantages stems from the following facts it has a cost-effective production, it
has diversified in value-added products under the Amul umbrella, it has loyal
customers, a strong brand recall and a strong distribution network.
If Amul were to come up with an IPO (though being a co-operative and free from
clutches of being in public domain, it is a highly unlikely scenario), it would generate as
much interest as has never been witnessed in the Indian stock market history, probably
much more than the Reliance Industries maiden issue. This is because, every India
irrespective of social status, caste, religion and region, has been a staunch Amul eater
right from his childhood across its product categories

HISTORY
Amul was formally registered on December 14, 1946. The brand name Amul, sourced
from the Sanskrit word Amoolya, means priceless. It was suggested by a quality control
expert in Anand and it was chosen because it was a perfect acronym for Anand Milk
Union Limited.
The Amul revolution was started as awareness among the farmers. It grew and matured
into a protest movement that was channeled towards economic prosperity.
Situation of farmers
Over five decades ago, the life of an average farmer in Kheda District was very much like
that of his/her counterpart anywhere else in India. His/her income was derived almost
entirely from seasonal crops. The income from milk buffaloes was undependable. Milk
producers had to travel long distances to deliver milk to the only dairy, the Polson Dairy
in Anand often milk went sour, especially in the summer season, as producers had to
physically carry milk in individual containers. Private traders and middlemen controlled
the marketing and distribution system for the milk. These middlemen decided the prices
and the off-take from the farmers by the season. As milk is perishable, farmers were
compelled to sell it for whatever they were offered. Often, they had to sell cream and
ghee at throw-away prices. In this situation, the private trader made a killing. Moreover,
the government at that time had given monopoly rights to Polson Dairy (around that time
Polson was the most well known butter brand in the country) to collect milk from Anand
and supply to Mumbai city in turn (about 400 kilometers away). India ranked nowhere
amongst milk producing countries in the world in 1946. Gradually, the realization
dawned on the farmers with inspiration from then nationalist leaders Sardar Vallabhbhai
Patel (who later became the first Home Minister of free India) and Morarji Desai (who
later become the Prime Minister of India) and local farmer, freedom fighter and social
worker Tribhovandas Patel, that the exploitation by the trader could be checked only if
they marketed their milk themselves. Amul was the result of the realization that they
could pool up their milk and work as a cooperative
Setting Up of Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation
In 1954, Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers Union built a plant to convert
surplus milk produced in the cold seasons into milk powder and butter. In 1958, a plant to
manufacture cheese and one to produce baby food were added. Subsequent years saw the
addition of more plants to produce different products. In 1973, the milk societies/district
level unions decided to set up a marketing agency to market their products. This agency
was the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF). It was registered as
a co-operative society on 9 July 1973.
Amul Ice Cream was launched on 10th March, 1996 in Gujarat. The portfolio
consisted of impulse products like sticks, cones, cups as well as take
home packs and institutional/catering packs. Amul ice cream was
launched on the platform of Real Milk. Real Ice Cream given that it is
a milk company and the wholesomeness of its products gives it a
competitive advantage.
In 1997, Amul ice creams entered Mumbai followed by Chennai in 1998 and
Kolkata and Delhi in 2002. Nationally it was rolled out across the country in 1999.
It has combated competition like Walls, Mother Dairy and achieved the
No 1 position in the country. This position was achieved in 2001 and it
has continued to remain at the top.
Today the market share of Amul ice cream is 38% share against the
9% market share of HLL, thus making it 4 times larger than its closest
competitor.
Not only has it grown at a phenomenal rate but has added a vast
variety of flavours to its ever growing range. Currently it offers a
selection of 220 products. Amul has always brought newness in its
products and the same applies for ice creams.
In January 2007, Amul introduced SUGAR FREE & ProLife Probiotic Wellness Ice
Cream, which was a first in India. This range of SUGAR FREE, LOW FAT
Diabetic Delight & ProLife Probiotic Wellness Ice Cream is created for
the health conscious.
Amuls entry into ice creams is regarded as successful due to the large
market share it was able to capture within a short period of time due
to price differential, quality of products and of course the brand name.
In Popular Culture
The establishment of Amul is also known as White Revolution. The White Revolution of
India inspired the notable Indian film-maker Shyam Benegal to base his film Manthan
(1976) on it. The film starred Smita Patil, Girish Karnad, Naseeruddin Shah and Amrish
Puri. The film itself was financed by over five lakh rural farmers in Gujarat who
contributed Rs 2 each to the film' budget. Upon its release, these same farmers went in
truckloads to watch 'their' film, making it a commercial success.[9][10], the film was chosen
for the 1977 National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi.
The White Revolution ushered an era of plenty from a measly amount of milk production
and distribution. Aside from the great measurable success that this project was, it also
demonstrated the power of "collective might". A small set of poor farmers of Kheda
district in Gujarat had the vision and foresight to act in a way that was good for the
society and not for the self alone.

AMUL TURNOVER
But the turnover doubled to over Rs 4300 crore with in a years from 1999-2007.
GCMMF Today:-
GCMMF is India's largest food products marketing organisation. It is a state level apex
body of milk cooperatives in Gujarat, which aims to provide remunerative returns to the
farmers and also serve the interest of consumers by providing quality products, which are
good value for money. GCMMF markets and manages the Amul brand. From mid-1990's
Amul has entered areas not related directly to its core business. Its entry into ice cream
was regarded as successful due to the large market share it was able to capture within a
short period of time - primarily due to the price differential and the brand name. It also
entered the Pizza business, where the base and the recipes were made available to
restaurant owners who could price it as low as 30 rupees per pizza when the other players
were charging upwards of 100 rupees.
In September 2007, Amul emerged as the leading Indian brand according to a survey by
Synovate to find out Asia's top 1000 Brands.
GCMMF has bagged award for excellent performance in exports of dairy products for the
year 2006-07 from Agricultural and Processed Food Exports Development Authority
(APEDA), Minister of Commerce, New Delhi. GCMMF has won the award for 11th
time. The award was received by Mr. Raveen Choudhary, our AGM (Z-I), Delhi, from
Hon'ble Minister of Commerce, Shri Kamalnath, in a glittering ceremony held at Siri Fort
Auditorium on 3rd June, 2008.
Mr. Walter Stechel, Consul General, German Consulate, Mumbai visited Anand and
Gandhinagar on Friday, June 27, 2008. An Economist himself, Mr. Stechels visit was
to gain a first hand experience of the working of the Amul model of cooperative
development. His visit to Mother Dairy, Gandhinagar and Amul Dairy left him very
impressed. Later he met Shri B. M. Vyas, Managing Director, GCMMF and discussed
the dairy scenario with him.
Advertising
An Amul butter ad on Pakistan's Kargil War fiasco. The image shows the "Amul baby" in
between George Fernandes and Vajpayee.
Its advertising has also started using tongue-in-cheek sketches starring the Amul baby
commenting jovially on the latest news or current events. The pun in her words has been
popular. The Amul ads are one of the longest running ads based on a theme, now vying
for the Guinness records for being the longest running ad campaign ever. Sylvester
daCunha, was the managing director of the advertising agency, ASP, that created the
campaign in 1967 whose charm has endured fickle public opinion, gimmickry and all
else.

Skills:
In a nut shell, I would say that brand image, no. of projects , sufficient funds for the
operating these projects and a experienced manpower for the completion of the project
and last but not the least corporate and political hold gives an value addition to the entire
business.
Shared Value:
The greatest value has been created by Amul through leveraging its scale, efficiency
and global capabilities.Our partnership with Amul increases our responsiveness to
business change with access to a larger and more flexible workforce whilst reducing
our overall risk profile through broadening the knowledge base around some of our
key systems.
