Vipul Chaudhary was elected as the new chairman of GCMMF, producer of Amul on Saturday. He talked to Indian Cooperative on Sunday outlining his priorities.

Excerpts:

Indian Cooperative: Congratulations Mr Chaudhary! You won unanimously.

Vipul Chaudhary: Thanks

Indian Cooperative: What is your top priority as GCMMF’s Chairman?

Vipul Chaudhary: To make the state of Gujarat number one in milk production. The State’s position is presently number five.

Indian Cooperative: What is the road map? How are you going to achieve this?

Vipul Chaudhary: We would seek guidance from the respected Chief Minister Narendra Modi who is ever eager to make Gujarat number one in all sectors. We would also seek help from Amrita Behn of NDDB and then work out an action plan. We are sure to achieve this goal sooner than later.

Indian Cooperative: What else?

Vipul Chaudhary: Quality and consumer grievance are two things I am personally going to look into. All complaints would immediately be attended to as I think it is also a high priority.

Indian Cooperative: Would you enlist support of the outgoing Chairman Parthi Bhatol? Do you think he would create problems for you, given a history of bitter differences?

Vipul Chaudahry: Absolutely wrong! Parthi Bhai Bhatol is like my elder brother. We are from the same community and from the adjoining districts. That apart, it was he who proposed my name and I am confident I would have his full support all through my tenure.
