Each “revolution” is a drive for a sharp rise in the output of one farm product, named after a colour linked with it.
(A) Yellow Revolution — this matches (II) Oilseeds production. Launched in the late 1980s through the Technology Mission on Oilseeds, it is named after the yellow flowers of mustard.
(B) Blue Revolution — this matches (I) Fish production. Blue stands for water; the drive raised fish farming in ponds, rivers and the sea.
(C) White Revolution — this matches (IV) Milk production. Operation Flood (from 1970), led by Verghese Kurien, made India the world’s largest producer of milk.
(D) Green Revolution — this matches (III) Food grains production. From the mid-1960s, high-yielding seeds of wheat and rice, fertilisers and irrigation raised the grain harvest.
