Solution :
The initiative known as the "White Revolution" was started by Operation Flood. By removing the intermediaries, it established a national milk grid that connected farmers all across India to consumers in more than 700 towns and cities, decreasing seasonal and regional price differences while ensuring that farmers receive a significant portion of the profits.
India ranks first in the world in milk production due to the "White Revolution".
Hence option a is the correct answer.
