#Thread on how the #Foundation Stones & #Modus Operandi for dairy farmers of #Gujarat, who could eventually control not just Karnataka's Pride #Nandini but India's Entire #Dairy Industry
Crystal Ball Gazing into the future!!
CHRONOLOGY 1) Amul Enters a mkt 2) Jul-21: Union govt formed Min of Cooperation under #AmitShah 3) Dec-22: Amendments are made to the Multi-State Co-op Societies Act, allowing State Milk Coops to Merge 4) Dec-22: Amit Shah spoke of a possible #Amul#Nandini Merger
However (contd)
....While there is "No Merger on the cards", nothing stops the Elected Govt of Karnataka & Gujarat to merge #Amul & #Nandini since the Amendments to the Multi-State Co-op Societies Act are cast in stone (lets dig in)
After Amendments, Multi-State Co-op Societies Act, MERGER of State-level Milk Co-operatives become EASY 1) Merger decision to be taken by General Body of respective federations 2) General body consist only of chairmen of unions (Eg. 16 in Karnataka & 18 in Gujarat) #Modinomics
3) NO NEED for clearance of state registrar of co-operatives 4) State registration is presumed to be cancelled once the central registrar issues fresh registration 5) Amendment also created Separate Election Commission (EC) for Co-operatives & appointed by Union govt #Modinomics
#Amul (GCMMF) generally observed #Modus#Operandi in Neighboring States 1) Amul firsts sets up Liquid Milk Marketing network 2) then sets up a Local procurement network (offers a better price) 3) Sets up a Local processing plant 4) Strong ADVERTISMENTS replace Local Brand Recall
5) Local cooperative face Working Capital issues & Shut-down 6) Amul decides Buying & Selling Price
Amul has been entering markets where the local brands were somewhat weak & hence possibly it may not face resistance #Karnataka is one of few mkts with a strong brand (#Nandini)
ALWAYS REMEMBER - WHO IS PRIMARY STAKE-HOLDER? #Amul is incorporated under the Coop legislation in Gujarat. When it procures milk outside of Gujarat, it operates like any other buyer in market
It is ACCOUNABLE ONLY to the farmers of Gujarat & not to farmers outside of Gujarat
The Major Changes in #Amul Happened in 2015 when Ms. Amita Patel took over from "Milk Man Dr Verghese Kurian"
Excerpts from a Candid Interview by Dr. Verghese Kurian ... who until he turned 82 was a man of few words.
He felt he chose the Wrong Protege
And why he felt that Ms. Amrita Patel empowered the govt, Bureaucracy at the cost of the Coops and eventually setting AMUL down the path of being Corporatized
This RANKING Is entirely OBJECTIVE and NOT Survey based. How do they calculate it - Stepwise
1) For each travel destination, if no visa is required for passport holders from a country or territory, then a score with value = 1 is created for that passport.
Let me make this very clear - there is EVERY reason to Doubt the #EVM machines. IMHO they can be manipulated several ways -
precisely why every other Western & Developed Asian Democracy has reverted back to Paper Ballot.
REGARDLESS OF ELECTION OUTCOME, #EVMs must be stopped!
Media reports of a difference of 1% of Votes or 6 MILLION votes between Election days & Counting day in 2019
VVPATs were destroyed in 6 months while the rule is 1 year. Court case was going on and yet it was destroyed
Media reports of 1/3rd of the Machines Malfunctioning
VVPAT counting of 1-2% is like counting 2 bundles of Rs2000 rupee notes amongst 100 bundles of Rs2000 notes at a Bank when withdrawing. Will u only count 2 Random bundles ? U will count all 100.
