After the success of the Green Revolution in India, the Government came up with the idea of the White Revolution which is also known as Operation Flood. The Objective behind the White Revolution was to increase the production of milk in the country just like the production of wheat and rice was increased by the Green Revolution. The motive was to make India one of the largest milk-producing countries in the world. The white revolution was initiated by the Government of India to make India a self-dependent nation in milk production. Dr. Verghese Kurien<\/a> was the father of the White Revolution in India. He was also\u00a0chairman, and founder of AMUL India.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the year 1964-1965, The people involved in cattle farming were provided with the package of improved animal husbandry under the Intensive Cattle Development Program. The National Dairy Development Board of India (NDDBI) came up with a new initiative toward the White revolution named Operation Flood to accelerate the revolution in 1970.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

India had low milk productivity but with the introduction of the white revolution, India has become the largest milk-producing country in the world. The major milk-producing states in India are Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab. The largest buffalo milk producer in the world is India and credit goes to the White revolution initiative.\u00a0 In the year 2014-15, India produced 146.31 million tonnes of milk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There were 3 main objectives of introducing the White revolution in India. First, Increasing milk production creates a flood of milk in India. Second, Increasing the income of the farmers belonging to the rural population and third, bring the prices low and affordable for everyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
