3. Golden Revolution
The Golden Revolution was
the period between 1991-
2003. During this time
there was a big increase in
horticulture production,
which means there was
more production of fruits,
vegetables, and other
horticulture products like
honey and flowers.
4. Significances In Agriculture
Fruit and vegetables are important
supplements to the human diet.
The cultivation of horticultural
crops plays a vital role in the
prosperity of
a nation and is directly linked with the
health and happiness of the people
by improving the income of as such
they generate lot of employment
opportunities for the rural people.
India has made a fairly good
progress on the Horticulture Map of
the world
with a total annual production of the
Horticulture Crops touching over 149
Million MT.
5. Status
India is the second largest
producer of fruit and vegetables
in the world
(AP -18.5 Million MT-12% share)
India has been bestowed with
wide range of climate and physio-geographical
conditions and as
such is most suitable for growing
various
kinds of Horticultural crops such
as fruit, vegetables, flowers, nuts,
spices
and plantation crops (coconut,
cashew nut and cocoa).
6. White Revolution
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. Father Of White
Revolution
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.
8. 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.
9. Status
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 .
10. Blue Revolution
Blue Revolution is the water
equivalent of the green
revolution and primarily refers
to the management of water
resources that can steer
humanity to achieve drinking
water and crop irrigation
security. The aim of the ongoing
Blue Revolution is to rapidly
increase fish production in small
ponds and water bodies, a boon
to small farmers, the nation's
nutrition and its gross domestic
product.
11. Result
It has resulted in increase of
fish production to five
million tonnes from only six
lakh tonnes of fish fifty
years ago. This includes 1.6
million tonnes of fish from
freshwater aquaculture.
Although the yield from
marine fisheries has
stagnated, freshwater
aquaculture is growing at a
healthy 6 per cent a year.
12. Significances In Agriculture
i. Providing food security
ii. Providing nutrition security
iii. Providing employment, fishing,
aquaculture and a host of allied
activities are a source of livelihood
to over 14 million people in India
iv. A major foreign exchange earner.
v.Blue Revolution has encouraged
fish farming where farmers rear fish
in tanks, ponds, or enclosed areas
under special conditions that
promote growth, instead of catching
them from the sea.
As a result of Blue Revolution, there
has been a significant increase in the
amount of fish available.
13. Status
Today, India is pushing ahead with
a Blue Revolution, the rapid
increase of fish production in small
ponds and water bodies, a boon to
small farmers, the nation's
nutrition and its gross domestic
product. The Indian fisheries
sector, which 50 years ago
produced only 600 000 tonnes of
fish, today produces 5 million
tonnes, including 1.6 million tonnes
from freshwater aquaculture.
Although the yield from marine
fisheries has stagnated, freshwater
aquaculture is growing at a healthy
6 percent a year.
14. Yellow
Revolution
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.
15. Area, production and productivity of annual oilseed
crops in India

Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India.
16. Significances In Agriculture
• Significant outcome of this
Mission and other related
developments included the
following;-
• i) the improved oilseeds
production technology,
• ii) the expansion in cultivated
area,
• 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.
17. Status
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.
18. Green Revolution
The green revolution is
the significant increase
in agricultural
productivity resulting
from the introduction
of high - yield varieties
of grains , use of
pesticides , and
improved management
techniques.
19. Green Revolution In India
In 1965 the present
government of
Mrs. Indira Gandhi
decided to take a major
step on present
Agriculture condition .
Thus "Green Revolution"
was applied to the period
from 1967 to 1978
basically in
parts of Punjab and
Haryana .
At this stage the Green
Revolution was concern
only with Wheat & Rice .
20. Father Of Green
Revolution
Dr.M S Swaminathan
from India led the
Green Revolution as
the Project Director.
&
Dr. Norman Borlaug
from Mexico supported
the Green Revolution
through the
introduction of high
yielding variety of
wheat seeds.
21. Significances In Agriculture
The increase in irrigation created
need of new dams to harness
monsoon water.
This in turn boosted industrial
growth, created jobs and improved
the quality of life of the people
This lead to greater grain and rice
production
higher food outputs for LDC’s
Self-sufficiency for some countries
(Pakistan-wheat exporter, India-11
m tonnes to 27 m tons from 1965 to
1972, Mexico- double wheat yields,
Philippines and Indonesia-rice
previously imported)
Planting dates more flexible
Early maturity, multiple cropping.
22. Status
The Green Revolution resulted in a record
grain output of 131 million tons in 1978-79.
This established India as one of the world's
biggest agricultural producer.
