Who is known as the father of white revolution?

Explanation

Solution

Hint: White Revolution is related to the overproduction of milk and just to inform, it was also known as Operation Flood in those days.

Complete answer:
White revolution was launched on 13 January 1970, and as we know it was the world's largest dairy development program and a landmark project of India's national Dairy development board (NDDB). It is surprising that it has transformed India from a milk-deficient nation into the world's largest milk producer. This white revolution has made dairy farming India's largest self-sustainable rural employment generator.
The entire credit for the White Revolution goes to Verghese Kurien, The Chairman and founder of Amul, Amul is a dairy Cooperative in Gujarat that played a vital role in the White Revolution. He suggested the Anand model of dairy cooperatives and made this happen.
Operation Flood was actually the program that led to "The White Revolution." It created a national milk grid by linking producers throughout India to consumers in over 700 towns and cities and also reducing seasonal and regional price variations along with the assurance that producers get a major share of the profit by eliminating the middlemen. Isn't it interesting that at the bedrock of Operation Flood, there stands the village milk producers' co-operatives, which procure milk and provide inputs and services, and making modern management and technology available to all the members.
The major objectives of the program introduced by Varghese Kurian are:
. Increased milk production and fair prices for consumers.
. Increased income reduced poverty of all the participating farmers while ensuring a steady supply of milk in return.
The entire program was so well planned that the results are in front of all of us, such a great entrepreneur he was.

Note:
As we can conclude from the answer it was the daily based program related to the overproduction of milk introduced by a great milkman and a founder of Amul, Verghese kurien. He is the father of white revolution.
