The managing-director of Anand-based Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers Union Limited, popularly called Amul Dairy, has resigned and his resignation was accepted in a board meeting on Saturday, the milk cooperative\u2019s chairman Ramsinh Parmar said.<\/p>\n
While K Rathnam\u2019s resignation comes amidst allegations of a Rs 450-crore corruption in allocation of tenders and recruitment at the dairy, Parmar refuted the charges, and also said he stepped down not over these allegations, but because of family reasons.<\/p>\n
A statement issued by the Amul Dairy said Jayen Mehta, senior general manager (planning and marketing), has been appointed as in charge MD of Kaira Milk Union.<\/p>\n
The KDCMPUL is one of the 18 District Co-operative Milk Producers\u2019 Unions federated to the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Limited, Anand, which markets milk and milk products under the \u201cAmul\u201d and \u201cSagar\u201d brand.<\/p>\n
Rathnam, 55, said he resigned as he wanted to spend time with family living in Tamil Nadu and the United States. \u201cI have been thinking of resigning for sometime now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI have worked for Amul for 22 years, and want to do something for myself in the next 10-15 years. I want to spend time with family members residing in the US and Tamil Nadu,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Parmar said that Ratnam served as the MD for four years and had been speaking about wanting to spend time with his wife and daughter who live in the US.<\/p>\n
\u201cConsidering all this, I told him I have no objection if he wants to quit,\u201d said Parmar.<\/p>\n
The Amul Dairy statement also said Parmar refuted allegations of corruption as \u201cperpetuated by rumour-mongers.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cParmar has informed that this (reports in a section of the media that Rathnam resigned as he has been found guilty of fraud) is far from truth and has been perpetuated by rumour-mongers,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
