Google is celebrating Verghese Kurien's 94th birth anniversary with its doodle. The
doodle shows the white revolution with milk can in the hands of the
popular social entrepreneur, along with a cow standing nearby.
Verghese Kurien,
also known as the 'Father of the White Revolution,' turned India from
milk-deficient country to the world's largest milk producer, exceeding
America in 1998 with about 17 percent of world's output in 2010-11. Not only this, with his efforts, daily farming became India's largest self-sustaining industry.
Verghese Kurien's biggest creation was Amul brand of daily products.
Verghese Kurien at the age of 90 years died on September 9, 2012 in Nadiad, Gujarat.
