#MilkmanofIndia #BirthAnniversary
On an early May morning in 1949, 27-year-old #VergheseKurien landed in Gujarat's Anand to work as superintendent of a run-down government creamery on a monthly salary of Rs 275. Image
It was in Anand that Kurien encountered the man who changed his life: Tribhuvandas Kishibhai Patel.⁠
