SUMMARY:India's Milk Revolution: Verghese Kurien and the Story of Amul
DESCRIPTION:
 Presenter: Mr. R.S. Sodhi, Managing Director of 
 Amul India\n
 \n
 	 \n
 \n
 	India is the largest producer 
 of milk in the world today - thanks in 
 large part to a Spartan. MSU alumnus Dr. Verghese 
 Kurien was the architect of a revolution 
 that transformed India from a milk-deficient 
 country to the world's biggest milk producer 
 - improving the lives of millions of rural 
 farmer families across India. His remarkable 
 life and achievements are a testament to his 
 faith in the ability of the common citizen to 
 control their destiny. \n
 \n
 	 \n
 \n
 	In this public 
 lecture, Sodhi will take the audience through 
 a journey of Verghese Kurien's life and 
 contributions, including the founding of Amul 
 and its growth into a powerhouse as India's 
 largest milk cooperative and food company. 
 Sodhi will share his vision for Amul's future, 
 and outline the opportunities and challenges 
 in the context of India's growing middle class 
 and the need for economic, environmental 
 and social sustainability.\n
