Correct Answer - Option 3 : Verghese Kurien

The correct answer is Verghese Kurien.

  • Verghese Kurien is considered the father of the white revolution in India.
  • The White Revolution, known as Operation Flood, was launched in 1970.
  • It was an initiative by India's National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) and was the world's biggest dairy development programme.
  • It transformed India from a milk deficient nation into the world's largest milk producer.
  • Operation Flood was based on the experimental pattern set up by Verghese Kurien, chairman and founder of AMUL.
  • Kurien, along with his friend H. M. Dalaya invented the process of making milk powder and condensed milk from buffalo milk.
  • Under Verghese Kurien, the programme created a national milk grid linking producers throughout India with consumers in over 700 towns and cities, reducing seasonal and regional price variations and ensuring that the milk producers get a major share of the income generated from end consumers, by forming co-operatives.
