1970 was the year when Verghese Kurian, the Father of White Revolution lead Operation Flood, world's biggest dairy development program. It transformed India from a milk deficient nation into the world's largest milk producer, surpassing the USA in 1998. UzhavarBumi, a startup extending its reaches from the state of TamilNadu is perhaps acting in remembrance of that great man and redefine the pattern of diary in the country. “Our country had betteraccess to unadulterated, inexpensive milk in the past which is just a dream now for most of the people. I was always fond of a village type life style which will provide a better and healthy life style. And just when the Jallikattu protests erupted, we as a team thought this is the right time to bring in a change and we just went ahead with the flow”, says Vetrivel Palani, Founder & CEO, UzhavarBumi.
