ABOUT THE COMPANY GENERAL INFORMATION: BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY &FORM OF ORGANISATION In 1929, Peston Edul Polson established Polson Model Dairy at Anand to manufacture butter, ghee and casein and in 1944; the Bombay Municipal Corporation Milk Supply was inaugurated. Monopoly rights were awarded to Polson for Procuring milk from Kaira. Amul's genesis is linked to the freedom movement in India. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, an eminent Indian freedom fighter encouraged the dairy farmers from the Kaira district in Gujarat to form a cooperative to counter the 'exploitatively' low prices offered for their milk by the monopoly milk Supplier of the area, Polson's Dairy. The dairy farmers met in Samarkha (Kaira district, Gujarat) on the 4th of January 1946, and decided to set up a milk producers' cooperative that would deal directly with the Bombay government, the final buyer of their milk. This was the origin of the Anand model. {draw:frame} Initially, when the Bombay government refused to deal with the cooperative, the farmers called a strike. The government finally relented when Bombay went without milk for a fortnight. The successful union registered itself as the Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union Ltd. (KCMPUL), Anand, in Gujarat in December 1946. And so did GCMMF and brand AMUL establish consequently. AMUL LOGO AND ITS IMPORTANCE Motto The main motto of Amul is to help farmers i.e. Milk producers.
