| - Verghese Kurien is the recipient of Padma Vibhushan, the second highest civilian award of India.
- Verghese Kurien (born November 26, 1921 at Kozhikode, Kerala) is called the father of the White Revolution in India. He is also known as the Milkman of India. However, it may be argued that Dr. Kurien coud never have accomplished this all by himself. The role of several other people, most notably, Shri Dalaya, VH Shah, Madhukar Shah, Dr.AR Seth, Dr.Shabnis and last but not least Shri Tribhuvandas Patel needs to be heavily underscored in the progress and development of Amul.

- Verghese Kurien (born November 26, 1921 at Kozhikode, Kerala) is called the father of the White Revolution in India. He is also known as the Milkman of India. However, it may be argued that Dr. Kurien coud never have accomplished this all by himself. The role of several other people, most notably, Shri Dalaya, VH Shah, Madhukar Shah, Dr.AR Seth, Dr.Shabnis and last but not least Shri Tribhuvandas Patel needs to be heavily underscored in the progress and development of Amul. He was the chairman of the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd.(GCMMF). GCMMF is an apex cooperative organization that manages the Amul food brand. He is recognised as the man behind the success of the Amul brand. Amul had a revenue of $1b USD in 2006-07. He is credited with being the architect of Operation Flood -- the largest dairy development program in the world. Kurien, set up the Anand model of cooperative dairy development, engineered the White Revolution in India, and made India the largest milk producer in the world. His uncle, John Mathai, was an economist who served as India's first Railway Minister and subsequently as India's Finance Minister.
