Amar Chitra Katha has issued a comic book on life and work of "Verghese Kurien : The man with the Billion Litre Idea" : http://www.amarchitrakatha.com/ack/books/2439-2415-AmarChitraKatha-AMARCHITRAKATHA-Singles-VISIONARIES-VERGHESEKURIEN
So please "Buy Swadeshi Cooperative Products and Help Farmers" and make his dream come true.
Next time you buy groceries be sure to buy from a Cooperative which directly benefits the farmers and not the middlemen.
The Rivers of fresh milk, butter and cream we take for granted today were all possible only with Amul Cooperative society. In fact Kurien was also responsible for creating Mother Dairy and it's Dhara and other oil cooperatives replacing the"Teli-ghana Kings" who had an iron grip on the whole market.

I was seeking a list of cooperative made products myself but couldn't find anything online.
I'd personally prefer Indian Cooperative Society products over Indian Private companies as it DIRECTLY helps the Indian farmers and keeps the middlemen out. Most private companies act as middlemen who buy from farmer at cheap rates and take major chunk of profits with minimal inputs.
Since it's been many years now I'm making such a list myself!!
It's very unfortunate that Indian Cooperative societies are taking a backseat in promotion. So much so that wikipedia didn't even contain a proper list of cooperative societies and federations. I've updated the list and expanded it quite a bit.
As per Verghese Kurien's book many cooperative societies are lagging behind private players who try their best to edge out the cooperatives using under-handed practises like getting political patronage and putting their people on cooperative society boards etc.
