The world famous co-operative dairy 'Amul' is one of the main features of Anand. Amul is the biggest dairy not only in India, but in Asia too. It is owned by thousands of small and medium farmers. Amul has created revolution. The experiment has led to small dairies at district and village levels. Other states and even many countries have been inspired by it. Alnul contributed to the scientific education of animal husbandry and increased production of milk. The dairy developed a plant of milk powder. The farmers could earn more for their produce. Lately Amul entered into milk-chocolate market besides butter, ghee, cheese, and baby food. It also established veterinary hospitals, artificial insemination centres for animals and hybrid-cow breeding centres at village Ode. Amul has turned into a large complex and the main stream of white revolution.
