The Ministry of Cooperation also celebrated the achievement, describing it as a “landmark moment” that highlighted the success of India’s cooperative model.
The Ministry noted that the recognition of Amul and IFFCO at the global level reflects the impact of the government’s vision of ‘Sahkar Se Samriddhi’, which has revitalised the cooperative sector and contributed to India’s economic growth.
On Tuesday, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah also expressed his pride in the achievement, saying it symbolised the hard work and dedication of millions of women and farmers across the country.
“A proud moment for Bharat! Heartiest congratulations to Amul and IFFCO for occupying the first two ranks among the top ten cooperatives in the world,” Shah said.
“It is an honor to the tireless dedication of millions of women associated with Amul and farmers contributing to the IFFCO. It is also a testament to the boundless potential of the cooperatives, which is being transformed into a global model of empowerment and self-reliance by Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” he added.
