Statement 1: The White Revolution in India is associated with Operation Flood, a programme that transformed India into the world’s largest milk producer, focusing on dairy farming and not sheep farming. This statement is incorrect. Statement 2: Horticulture development is primarily associated with the Golden Revolution. The term “Second Green Revolution” is often used in a broader sense to describe future strategies for sustainable agricultural growth, diversification, and value addition beyond the focus on cereals in the first Green Revolution, but it is not specifically defined by horticulture development alone. This statement is likely incorrect in the context of standard terminology. Statement 3: The Blue Revolution is indeed associated with the improvement in the production of fish and marine products, boosting the aquaculture and fisheries sector. This statement is correct.
