Q. Operation Flood, recently seen in the news, is an initiative that transformed which sector in India?
Answer:
Dairy
Notes: Operation Flood, launched in 1970, was pivotal in establishing India's dairy sector, leading to the White Revolution. This initiative aimed to increase milk production and improve rural livelihoods through cooperative societies. As a result, India became the world's largest milk producer, with a daily procurement target set to rise significantly by 2028-29. The government is now focusing on "White Revolution 2.0" to enhance cooperative coverage and empower dairy farmers, particularly women, while generating employment in the sector.
