On Sunday (9 October), while addressing the 70th plenary session of the North Eastern Council (NEC), Amit Shah said, “Amul will be merged with five other cooperative societies to form a multi-state cooperative society (MSCS). The MSCS will ensure the export of the products after its certification so that profit can go directly into the farmers’ bank accounts, he added.”

“We have a huge opportunity to deliver milk to countries like Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, and to explore this world market, the government is setting up a multi-state cooperative which will act as the export house,” he had said.
