Kurien&#8217;s career began in the mid-20th century when India faced challenges in developing its rural economy. The Green Revolution had spurred agricultural growth, but there was a need for effective management and distribution of dairy products. Kurien&#8217;s innovative solutions in this sector addressed these needs by establishing a robust cooperative model that facilitated large-scale dairy production and distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Development_of_the_National_Dairy_Development_Board_NDDB\"><\/span>Development of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1965, Kurien played a key role in the formation of the NDDB.
