Amrita Patel Center for Public Health (APCPH)

Amrita Patel Centre for Public Health is a venture to pay tributes to our former Chairman, Dr. Amrita Patel. Dr. Patel was the first lady executive of Amul, then the first woman Managing Director, and finally the Chairman of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB).

Her contribution to the dairy industry is a tale of trials and triumphs. She is also a passionate community health professional deeply concerned about the health of the rural poor. Her entire life has been spent in the service of the less privileged and empowering them, especially the women of India. All the organizations she has served have a main goal: improving the health, income, and welfare of India’s rural poor.
