Earlier, giving proof of the immense potential of cooperatives, Union Home Minister and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah had congratulated dairy giant Amul and Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) for securing the first two ranks among the top 10 cooperatives of the world.
Home Minister Amit Shah wrote in an ex-post, “This is a proud moment for India! Hearty congratulations to Amul and IFFCO for securing the first two positions in the top ten cooperative companies of the world.”
