Amul (GCMMF): A dairy cooperative. The letter is B; certainty is high. Unconfirmed concerns are placed under “Watching.” (As of 2026-Q2; estimate based on public information.)
Main narrative
In 1946, dairy farmers in the Kaira district of Gujarat, India, formed their own cooperative to stand against exploitative middlemen. The engineer Verghese Kurien joined them and built a dairy system owned and run by the farmers themselves. This is the origin of Amul (GCMMF).
It spread nationwide as “Operation Flood,” making India the world's largest milk producer. Millions of small dairy farmers, especially women, collect, process, and sell their milk through their own cooperative — and that income reaches rural households directly.
One person’s story (N1)
+ A single story
A rural woman who keeps one or two buffalo brings the milk she draws morning and evening to the village collection center. Instead of being underpaid by a middleman, the cooperative buys it at a fair price, and the payment goes into her own hands. Small-scale dairying supports the household and helps send children to school. The World Bank has praised this farmer-owned model (individual not identified).

How to read this assessment
A Independently verified +, with no confirmed −
B Leans +, with independent backing
C Mixed. A confirmed − sets the ceiling, or much is unverified
D A serious confirmed − sets the ceiling
E A serious − reaches the core of the organization
F Serious and systemic, with little redeeming +
G Only extreme cases
Out of scope An entity whose core purpose is illegal
On hold Independent evidence is scarce on both + and −
- Reachable upper bound (ceiling): a confirmed − sets the ceiling, and independently verified + decide the position within it. + do not cancel out −.
- The weight of evidence is not symmetric: only confirmed − are counted; the volume of disputes or allegations goes under “Watching.” + are counted from independent evidence, while an organization’s own PR is treated as “reference.”
- Size is not value: scale is not used in the assessment. Matters that stay within money or competition—investors, shareholders, sanctions, trade secrets—are also excluded.
- The letter (assessment) and certainty (how reliable the information is) are separate axes.
This is a translation; the Japanese version is authoritative. The assessments here are generated automatically by AI based on published criteria. The operator does not alter individual results. Because they are AI-generated they may contain errors, and they are opinion and commentary, not statements of fact. Where evidence is insufficient, the entry is marked “On hold.” Requests for correction are accepted via the form.
