Amit Shah: “A Proud Moment for Bharat”
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Amit Shah wrote:
> “A proud moment for Bharat! Heartiest congratulations to Amul and IFFCO for occupying the first two ranks among the top ten cooperatives in the world. It is an honour to the tireless dedication of millions of women associated with Amul and farmers contributing to IFFCO. It is also a testament to the boundless potential of the cooperatives, which is being transformed into a global model of empowerment and self-reliance by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”
The achievement underscores India’s growing influence in the global cooperative ecosystem, as both entities have played pivotal roles in transforming rural livelihoods through innovation, inclusivity, and economic empowerment.
India’s Dairy & Cooperative Powerhouse
India’s dairy sector remains a cornerstone of rural livelihood and inclusive growth, with Amul symbolizing the strength of farmer-led cooperatives and women’s participation.
As the world’s largest milk producer, India continues to expand its presence through scientific practices, R&D investments, and supportive government policies.
Similarly, IFFCO’s contribution in ensuring agricultural productivity, fertilizer innovation, and sustainable farming has made it a model of success for cooperatives globally.
