A forty member study tour of the African Youth Group as a part of the outreach programme of the Indo-Africa Forum Summit visited Anand on Saturday, March 29, 2008. The group comprised persons from diverse background and professions with wide ranging interests. They spent the entire day visiting Amul Dairy and Museum, IRMA, Vidya Dairy, GCMMF and a Village Dairy Co-operative Society.

After the visit, they said that they very much liked the concept of Cooperative Movement as a whole and were taking this rich experience to their country. They were also impressed with the way it has empowered the people and would try and replicate it in their country.

This programme has helped in deepening the ties between India and Africa.
