In "I Too Had a Dream," Verghese Kurien pens a stirring and insightful narrative of his monumental journey, transforming India into the world's largest milk producer through the pioneering 'Operation Flood.' With a blend of humility and determination, Kurien recounts the serendipitous turn of events that led him to Anand, Gujarat, and into the heart of a burgeoning milk cooperative movement. At its core, this memoir is a testament to the power of shared vision and collective effort, as Kurien, alongside the farmers of Anand, laid the foundational stones for what would become an unparalleled success in cooperative enterprise and dairy development. Kurien's narrative goes beyond the mere chronology of events; it delves into the philosophy of empowerment and self-reliance, offering a blueprint for sustainable development long before such concepts became global mantras. His work with the Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union Limited (better known as Amul), the National Dairy Development Board, and the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation, not only revolutionized India's dairy industry but also became a model of socio-economic development worldwide. "I Too Had a Dream" encapsulates the spirit of one man's unwavering dedication to uplifting millions, showcasing how empathy, innovation, and perseverance can indeed change the fate of nations.

a person who does not have respect for time, and does not have a sense of timing, can achieve little.
