This document discusses India's White Revolution and Operation Flood. It achieved the following: 1. Increased milk production dramatically in India through the cooperative dairy model developed by Dr. Verghese Kurien in Anand, Gujarat. 2. Transformed the lives of over 13.4 million farmers, most of them poor, and 3.7 million women by providing livelihoods and empowerment. 3. Made India the world's largest milk producer and consumer of milk.

very kind and patient while suggesting us the
outlines of this project and correcting our doubts. We
thank our science teacher Miss. Anju Kumari for her
overall supports.
Last but not the least, We would like to thank our
parents who helped us a lot in gathering different
information, collecting data and guiding us from
time to time in making this project despite of their
busy schedules ,they gave us different ideas in
making this project unique.
We are making this project not only for marks but to
also increase our knowledge .
THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO HELPED US.

6. This white revolution or operation flood relates to
the rapid development in milk production that
took place in India after mid 1960's. This name is a
variation of the name "Green Revolution" used
earlier to describe rapid development in
agricultural production in India.
A name closely associated with White Revolution is
that of Dr. Verghese Kurien. This is because the
origins of White Revolution can be traced to the
efforts of Dr. Kurien at Kaira District Co-operative
Milk Producers Union Situated at Anand in Gujarat
State. This organization is better known by the
brand name of its product - Amul.

7. Dr. Verghese Kurien is the
man behind the success of
Amul. He is called the
“father of the white
revolution” in India. He is
also known as the Milkman
of India. Kurien, set up the
Anand model
of cooperative dairy
development, engineered
the White Revolution in
India, and made India the
largest milk producer in the
world.

The drop logo symbolizes the Operation Flood movement
started by Verghese Kurien for National Dairy Development
Board (NDDB). The White Revolution changed the face of
dairy functioning in India, giving livelihood to thousands of
milkmen in Anand. The timeless simplicity of the drop
signifies the value of milk, its sustenance by and for people
of India, making India the largest producer of milk in the
world.

9. ITS IMPACT
This is a revolution like no other in the world. Operation Flood or The
White Revolution as it is known in India has over the past five decades
produced a constantly increasing sustainable flood of milk in India. It
was of high quality and available in most parts of both urban and rural
India. It helped transform the lives of more than 13.4 million farmers
and increasing, most of them poor. Of them, 3.7 million were women. It
helped women empower themselves and their families. Today, the Dairy
Cooperative Network includes 177 milk unions. It operates in over 346
districts covering around 1, 28,799 village level societies. Today, India is
the world’s leading dairying nation.
Its helps:-
 Increasing milk production ("a flood of milk")
 Augment rural incomes
 Fair prices for consumers
 Employment of people
 Increase of economy in the country.

11. From the above figure we can conclude that
milk production is increasing rapidly year by
year but it is more fast consumed by
growing and vast population .

12. The oilseeds production scenario in India has
witnessed a dramatic turn. The country achieved
a status of 'self sufficient and net exporter during
early nineties, rising from the 'net importer
'state’, with a mere annual production of nearly
11 million tons from the annual oilseed crops,
until the year 1986,87. In a span of just a decade,
an all time record oilseeds production of 25
million tons from annual oilseed crops was
attained during 1996,97. This transformation has
been termed as "The Yellow Revolution" and could
be primarily attributed to the institutional
support, particularly the set up of the Technology
Mission on Oilseeds in 1986.

crops in India

Agriculture, Government of India.

14.  Significant outcome of this Mission and other
related developments included the following;-
 i) the improved oilseeds production
technology,
 ii) the expansion in cultivated area, and
 iii) the price support policy.
 Now, India is among the largest oil economies
in the region/world.
 The country also occupies a distinct position in
terms of diversity in annual oilseed crops.

15. The demand of oilseeds are continuously increasing due to increasing of
population very rapidly. Oilseeds are consume very fast by such a vast
population
So, As major crops, oilseeds meet the country’s needs for edible oils. A
second yellow revolution is crying need of the hour. Also, a technical
breakthrough in dry land farming is needed to maximize yield,
productivity and farm income. Achieving the aim of making the country
self-sufficient in oilseeds would have a great impact on agriculture and
the economy and would help reduce dependence on foreign markets.
