About AMUL Co-operative Museum

AMUL Co operative Museum in Anand (celebrated globally as the birthplace of India's historic White Revolution and an inspiring socio economic museum dedicated to the cooperative milk movement founded by Tribhuvandas Patel and the Milkman of India Dr. Verghese Kurien), located inside the historic Amul Dairy complex in Anand in Gujarat, stands as Anand's premier memorial landmark.

Established in 1946 under the mentorship of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to liberate local farmers from exploitative middlemen (Polsons), this historic site chronicles how a grassroots cooperative of two village milk societies grew into the world's largest farmer owned brand empowering 3.6 million milk producers across Gujarat.

It's the home of the red brick heritage museum gallery housing vintage black and-white archival photographs, the original 1940s manual milk testing and butter churning machinery, the historic photo gallery documenting Dr. Kurien and Tribhuvandas Patel's meetings with Indian and international leaders, the multimedia auditorium screening the award winning biographical documentary on Operation Flood, the glass paneled observation bridge overlooking the automated milk processing, pasteurization, and butter packaging plants, the flagship Amul parlour offering fresh dairy treats, and an intensely inspiring, historic atmosphere where the transformative power of farmer cooperation resonates across every exhibit.

It represents a rich 78 year-old Indian cooperative movement, White Revolution heritage, and socio economic triumph where Operation Flood exhibits, vintage churners, Dr. Kurien memorials, and fresh dairy parlours unite in AMUL Co operative Museum Anand.

Located within the Amul Dairy campus on Amul Dairy Road, it sits just 1 km from Anand Junction Railway Station, 5 km from Karamsad, 40 km from Vadodara, and 70 km from Ahmedabad Airport (AMD), easily accessible on foot, by auto rickshaw, or private cab.

1946 Cooperative Genesis & Dr. Kurien's Legacy

The museum chronicles how Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel guided dairy farmers in 1946 to form their own cooperative union to process milk directly.

Interactive exhibits illustrate how Dr. H.M. Dalaya and Dr. Kurien made dairy history by manufacturing skimmed milk powder and condensed milk from buffalo milk for the first time in the world.

Truth is, viewing the original laboratory notebooks and humble working desk of Dr. Verghese Kurien leaves a deep impression on every visitor.
