India has administered more than 200 crore COVID-19 vaccination doses, and Amul decided to dedicate its topical advertisement to those, who helped get this done. The doctors, nurses and healthcare workers have been given a fitting tribute for their exemplary work. The ad features the Little Amul Girl giving the double finger up, indicating the 200 crore duly specified in the advert. In the advertisement, Amul has used the lyrics from a yesteryear song by Lata Mangeshkar, "Ajeeb dastaan hai yeh", to describe the remarkable event. It has tried to say that the event is "a marvellous story". The song's first line has been taken as a caption and re-written as "A jab dastaan hai yeh.." indicating "Jab" as in vaccination with the hand-drawn syringe in the advert.

They have also written the caption "Amul for Health and Care", dedicating the landmark achievement to the frontline workers, doctors and nurses. Amul has been marketing their dairy products, including milk, butter and ice-creams all over India from Gujarat. It is undoubtedly the taste that India loves and owns.

Modi further said that when he was the chief minister of Gujarat, he had advocated the use of camel milk because of its nutritional benefits, but he was mocked for it.



"I said camel milk is very nutritious. Being the chief minister, I don't know what crime I committed, but I was mocked at. Cartoons and derogatory comments were made against me. Today, Amul's chocolates have a huge market and the rate of camel milk is double than that of cow milk," Modi said.
