1970 | Ameya Narvankar

Operation Flood: I propose the theme of Operation Flood or as commonly referred to as the White Revolution that was launched by the Government of India in 1970, that resulted in making our country the largest milk producer in the world. The brainchild of Verghese Kurien of AMUL, it was the largest dairy development programme in the world which involved creating a national milk grid across the country. By linking rural supply to urban demand through co-operatives, it cut down the middlemen and ensured that the dairy farmers benefited. It is an important economic achievement in post-independent history and holds potential for illustration and style exploration.
