Pair 1 and Pair 3 are correctly matched, while Pair 2 is incorrectly matched. Verghese Kurien is known as the Father of the White Revolution (Operation Flood), and the Neel Kranti Mission (Blue Revolution) aims to enhance fish production. M.S. Swaminathan is widely considered the Father of the Green Revolution in India, not Chidambaram Subramaniam, although Subramaniam played a significant political role as the Union Minister for Food and Agriculture during that period.
– Pair 1: Verghese Kurien is correctly matched with the White Revolution (Milk Production).
– Pair 2: Chidambaram Subramaniam is incorrectly matched; M.S. Swaminathan is considered the Father of the Green Revolution in India.
– Pair 3: Neel Kranti Mission means Blue Revolution, which is correctly associated with enhancing fish production.

The Green Revolution in India involved the adoption of high-yielding varieties of seeds, fertilizers, and irrigation techniques, primarily driven by the scientific work of M.S. Swaminathan and supported by political leaders like C. Subramaniam. The White Revolution transformed India into the world’s largest milk producer. The Blue Revolution focused on the growth of the aquaculture and fisheries sector.
