Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B

Explanation

Dr. Verghese Kurien (1921–2012) is widely regarded as the 'Father of the White Revolution' in India. He was the mastermind behind Operation Flood, launched in 1970, which transformed India from a milk-deficient nation into the world's largest milk producer. Kurien's innovative "Anand model" of dairy cooperatives (Amul) empowered millions of small-scale farmers by providing them control over the resources they create. He served as the founding chairman of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). Among the other options, Dr. B.P. Pal was a renowned agricultural scientist and the first Director General of ICAR, primarily known for his work in wheat research, while others like Dr. Khem Singh Gill were significant contributors to the Green Revolution.
