Verghese Kurien, born on
26 November 1921, known as the 'Father of the White Revolution' in
India, was a social entrepreneur whose "billion-litre idea",
Operation Flood, the world's largest agricultural dairy development programme,
made dairy farming India's largest self-sustaining industry and the largest
rural employment provider, being a third of all rural income, with benefits of
raising incomes and credit, riddance of debt dependence, nutrition, education,
health, gender parity and empowerment, breakdown of caste barriers and
grassroots democracy and leadership. It made India the world's largest milk
producer from a milk-deficient nation, which doubled milk available per person
and increased milk output four-fold, in 30 years.
