Architect of ‘Operation Flood’, the largest dairy development programme in the world, Dr. Verghese Kurien has enabled India to become the largest milk producer in the world. A man with a rare vision, Dr. Kurien has devoted a lifetieme to realising his dream-empowering the farmers of India. He has engineered the milk cooperative movement in India. It was a sheer quirk of fate that landed him in Anand where a small group of farmers were forming a cooperative, Kaira, District Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union Limited (better known as Amul), to sell their milk.

In his biography “I too had a dream”, Kurien opens up his heart, talks about his whirlwind journey of creating co-operatives, overcoming the vested interests, thrashes the bureaucracy, gives a new dimension to the empowerment of farmers.

I strongly strongly emphasize that every Indian should read this book. One word that I can use to describe this book – impecceble!

Kurien is my HERO. He is my HERO.
