Verghese Kurien: The Milkman of India

by Rohini Chowdhury
Illustrated by Dhruva Rao

Can one man change the face of a nation?

Read the life of Verghese Kurien, who was known as the Milkman of India. Almost single-handedly, he changed the dairy industry in India, taking India from being a milk-deficit nation to the largest producer of milk and milk products in the world. His work impacted for the better the lives of hundreds of thousands of rural families, particularly women. He is also the man behind Amul, possibly India’s best-known and best-loved brand of dairy foods.

Part of Scholastic India’s Great Lives  series, the book is a delightful and easy-to-read mix of text and graphics.
