What is White Revolution???

Answer 1

The White Revolution (Persian: Enghelab-e-Sephid) was a far-reaching series of reforms launched in 1963 by the last Shah of Iran Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

The Shah had intended it to be a non-violent regeneration of Iranian society through economic and social reforms, with the ultimate long-term aim of transforming Iran into a global economic and industrial power. The Shah introduced novel economic concepts such as profit-sharing for industrial workers and initiated massive government-financed heavy industry projects, as well as the nationalization of forests and pastureland. Most important, however, were the land reform programs which saw the traditional landed elites of Iran lose much of their influence and power. Nearly 90% of Iranian share-croppers became land owners as a result. Socially, the platform granted women more rights and poured money into education, especially in the rural areas. The Literacy Corps was also established, which allowed young men to fulfill their compulsory military service by working as village literacy teachers.

Despite the many economic reforms, the White Revolution failed to include sufficient measures increasing democratic representation in Iran at the executive branch of government, though other democratic changes were implemented, such as extending suffrage to women. Also, a number of the reforms were botched or fell victim to corruption. An example of this were the land reform programs which did not give most peasants enough land to live on, creating widespread discontent.

The powerful Shi'ite clergy were also angered at the reforms that removed much of their traditional powers in the realms of education and family law, as well as lessening their previously strong influence in the rural areas. Though the White Revolution contributed towards the economic and technological advancement of Iran, the failures of some of the land reform programs and the distinct lack of democratic reforms, as well as severe antagonism towards the White Revolution from the clergy and landed elites, would ultimately contribute to the Shah's downfall during the Iranian Revolution in 1979.-

Answer 3

The White Revolution

Answer 4

First of all we must understand that, we elected this govt. The UPA is making the same mistakes that the former NDA did. They are content with the growth in the urban areas and the stock market growth and FDI. What they don't understand clearly is that the Congress won because of the support of farmers and people from rural areas. But anyway they are better than the BJP. But if the Congress has to win the next election they will have to change their ways and also distance themselves from the US, coz getting closer to the US is gonna cost dearly in terms of discontent among common Indians who view it as kind of Devil. Not a White Revolution but surely a Tide or Surf or Aerial revolution to clean out Indian Politics.

Operation Flood was the name of a rural development programme started by India's National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in 1970. It has been one of the largest programs of its kind. The objective of the programme was to create a nationwide milk grid.

It resulted into making India, one of the largest producer of milk and milk products, and hence is also called the White Revolution of India. It also helped to resolve malpractices by the milk traders and merchants. This revolution followed the green revolution and helped in alleviating poverty and famine levels from dangerous proportions in India during the era.

1. White Revolution, an Iranian movement

2. White Revolution, an Indian movement
Operation Flood was the name of a rural development programme started by India's National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in 1970. It has been one of the largest program of its kind. The objective of the programme was to create a nationwide milk grid.

It resulted into making India, a largest producer of milk and milk products, so it is also called White Revolution of India. It also helped to resolve malpractices by the milk traders and merchants. This revolution followed the green revolution and helped in alleviating poverty and famine levels from dangerous proportions in India during the era.

Amul (Anand Milk Union Limited) was the engine behind the success of Operation Flood.

Operation Flood has helped dairy farmers direct their own development, placing control of the resources they create in their own hands. A National Milk Grid links milk producers throughout India with consumers in over 700 towns and cities, reducing seasonal and regional price variations while ensuring that the producer gets a major share of the consumers' rupee.

The bedrock of Operation Flood has been village milk producers' cooperatives, which procure milk and provide inputs and services, making modern management and technology available to members. Operation Flood's objectives included :

Increase milk production ("a flood of milk")
Augment rural incomes
Fair prices for consumers
