White Revolution 2.0 Initiative Objective: White Revolution 2.0 aims to increase milk production, empower women farmers, and address malnutrition in India. It builds on the success of the original White Revolution (1970) initiated by Dr. Verghese Kurien, which transformed India into the world’s leading milk producer. Connection to Operation Flood: White Revolution was originally known as Operation Flood and successfully increased milk production nationwide. Focus Areas: Empowering women, improving milk availability for malnourished children, and modernizing dairy cooperatives. 2. Target under White Revolution 2.0: Milk Procurement Goal: By the end of the 5th year, dairy cooperatives aim to procure 100 million kg of milk daily. Current procurement: 660 lakh litres/day. Target: Increase to 1,000 lakh litres/day. 3. Key Components and Programs: Margdarshika (SOPs): Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to establish 200,000 new multipurpose primary agricultural cooperatives (MPACs) in rural areas, including areas with no current cooperatives. These will focus on agriculture, dairy, and fisheries. Developed in collaboration with NABARD and the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). Women's Empowerment: The initiative targets women in dairy farming, where Rs 60,000 crore worth of business is already generated in Gujarat alone. Women will benefit from formal employment and payments directly deposited into their bank accounts. Addressing Malnutrition: Increased milk availability will support better nutrition for poor and malnourished children. Integration with Existing Schemes: Builds on existing programs such as the Dairy Processing and Infrastructure Development Fund (DIDF) and the National Programme for Dairy Development (NPDD). A new phase, NPDD 2.0, will be launched to further the cooperative agenda. Cooperation Among Cooperatives: Nationwide expansion of a scheme successfully piloted in Gujarat to provide interest-free cash credit via RuPay Kisan Credit Cards and distribute micro-ATMs for rural financial inclusion. PACS Computerization: Primary Agriculture Credit Societies (PACS) will be modernized through SOPs, ensuring more efficient and transparent operations.
