Dr Verghese Kurien is known as the "Father of the White Revolution" in India.

Verghese Kurien's Operation Flood was a project by the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in 1970. This project literally transformed the nation into the world's largest producer of milk putting behind the USA in the year 1998. Kurien spearheaded as the chairman and founder of Amul and becoming the chairman of NDDB. So Kurien has been credited with the success of Amul's marketing which has ventured overseas in the years. And Amul over the years is marketing their product well with the Amul Topical comic. So it would be amiss if they did not honour Dr Kurien on his death anniversary. Punning on the word fundamental right, they call it "fundamental white." World Milk Day 2019: Amul Celebrates the Day With All Their Fascinating Topicals Since 1976.
