In the context of agricultural revolution in India, which of the following statements is/are correct? 1. White revolution in the field of agricultural development is associated with modernization of sheep farming. 2. Second green revolution is associated with development of horticulture. 3. Blue revolution in the field of agriculture is associated with improvement in the production of fish and marine products. Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The White Revolution, also known as Operation Flood, was launched in 1970 by the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) to modernize the dairy industry and increase milk production, not sheep farming [1]. Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect. The Blue Revolution refers to the significant growth and modernization of the fisheries and aquaculture sector to increase the production of fish and marine products. Thus, statement 3 is correct. The Second Green Revolution is a broad concept focusing on sustainable agricultural growth, including the diversification into high-value crops like horticulture to ensure food security and rural prosperity. While the 'Golden Revolution' specifically targets horticulture and honey, the Second Green Revolution encompasses these advancements alongside environmental sustainability. Consequently, statements 2 and 3 are correct, making option 3 the right choice.
