Question

With which of the following is Operation Flood associated?
A. Green Revolution
B. White Revolution
C. Blue Revolution
D. Industrial Revolution

Answer 1

Hint: The world's largest dairy production programme, Operation Flood, began on January 13, 1970, and marked a turning point for India's National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). It turned India from a milk deficient country to the world's largest milk producer in 1998, surpassing the United States of America.

Complete answer:
A. Green Revolution: The Green Revolution in India was a time in which Indian agriculture was transformed into an industrial system as a result of the adoption of modern methods and technology such as high yielding variety (HYV) seeds, tractors, irrigation facilities, pesticides, and fertilisers.
B. White Revolution: the introduction of milk production growth and encouragement for Indian dairy farmers to keep more animals in order to increase milk production. It was created to assist farmers in directing their production and gaining control over the resources they generate. Much of this was accomplished by mass manufacturing by the masses; the process has since been dubbed the "White Revolution". It is also called flood operation.
C. Blue Revolution: The term "Blue Revolution" refers to the period from the mid-1960s to the present when the global aquaculture industry experienced rapid growth.
D. Industrial Revolution: New processing technologies were adopted during the Industrial Revolution, which lasted approximately from 1760 to 1820 in Europe and the United States.
Since the Flood operation is completely related to milk production associated with the white revolution.
Thus from the above discussion, it can be concluded that the correct answer is option B.

Hence the correct answer is option (B).

Note:
- The former Indian Prime Minister, Lal Bahadur Shastri, appointed Verghese Kurien, the chairman and founder of Amul, as the Chairman of NDDB and he was the architect of the flood operation.
- The national milk day is celebrated on 26 November since 2014 on the birthday of the father of the white revolution Dr Verghese Kurien.
