      Fact Check

      Amul is a dairy cooperative based in Anand, Gujarat formed in 1946. The cooperative has no owner and it is managed by the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd. (GCMMF). As mentioned on the website of GCMMF, the cooperative body was formed in 1973. Its daily milk procurement is about 23 million litres per day from 18600 village milk co-operative societies, 18 member unions covering 33 districts and 3.6 million milk producer members, according to its website. It had a turnover for $5.1 billion for 2019-20.

      Shamalbhai B Patel is the current chairman while Valamjibhai R Humbal is the vice chairman of GCMMF. The managing director of the cooperative is RS Sodhi.

      As Amul stands for Anand Milk Udyog Limited, the fictitious name of Anand Seth as the 'owner' of Amul seems to have been picked up from here.

      BOOM also contacted the head office of GCMMF in Gujarat. Speaking to BOOM, an official from GCMMF refuted the viral claim.

      "Amul is a cooperative of dairy farmers. There is no owner. Moreover, we don't have these many employees," the official told BOOM.
