Each ‘revolution’ is a period of fast growth in the output of one farm product, named after a colour linked with it.
(A) Blue Revolution — this matches (III) Increase of fish production. Blue stands for water: the growth of fisheries and fish farming.
(B) White Revolution — this matches (IV) Increase in the field of milk production. Operation Flood, begun in 1970 under Verghese Kurien, made India the world’s largest producer of milk.
(C) Yellow Revolution — this matches (II) Increase in oil-seeds production. Yellow is the colour of mustard flowers; the Technology Mission on Oilseeds was set up in 1986.
(D) Green Revolution — this matches (I) Increase in crop yield and agricultural products. From the late 1960s, high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice, fertilisers and irrigation raised food-grain output.
