The Indian Association for the Cultivation of Sciences was founded by Mahendralal Sircar.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

True.

The Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS) founded by Mahendra Lal Sircar in Calcutta in 1876 was the first large-scale indigenous enterprise in colonial India for the propagation of modern science. The efforts towards the formation of the IACS were marked by a range of ideas and positions which reflected mainstream elite Indian attitudes to western science as also the many paradoxes that the colonial situation imposed on the whole enterprise. The first exposures of the Indian elite to western education had evoked an admiration for modern science, its values, and its “infinite” possibilities. But the admiration so generated could not run on a momentum of its own because of the limitations of the colonial education system itself. The appreciation of modern science also brought about a soul-searching as to why a civilization with a hoary tradition of science had stagnated. This, in turn, led to vigorous socio-cultural self-criticism aimed at ending what was perceived to be long slumber and degeneration. Science itself was seen as a force for such liberation and the alien colonial government as its chief facilitator. The latter was not too eager to promote science at large. Hence the need for an indigenous initiative. However, the plain existential realities of colonialism dictated that little could be achieved without the support of the government. With all its paradoxes and ironies, the IACS project was yet a grand endeavour, forming a lasting part of the Indian scientific landscape. In fact, given its peculiar circumstances, it would have been very unreal without its paradoxes.

  • None of the above statements are wrong. 
White Revolution or Operation Flood was started by Sir Verghese Kurien. It has created a milk grid which connected milk producers throughout India with consumers over 700 cities and towns. It helped the dairy farmers to have control of the resource created by them by reducing the regional and seasonal price variations and other malpractices like middlemen. White revolution's main objectives included: Increased milk production, an increase in rural income and fair price for the consumer.
Blue Revolution means a remarkable increase in the production of fish and marine products. It saw the emergence of aquaculture as one of the most important forms of agricultural activity. Aquaculture means all forms of active culture of animals and plants living in marine, brackish or freshwater. The Blue revolution was launched by Union Minister for agriculture Mr. RadhaMohan Singh. 
Sustainable agriculture - There is one sector that has continuously impacted the environment that sector is agriculture. For the human race to sustain there is a lot dependent on environment-friendly agriculture. We have been doing intensive agriculture, using loads of pesticides, chemical fertilizers and harming the environment. India is facing a food crisis due to the massive and regular destruction of farmlands. Therefore, sustainable agriculture focuses mainly on -
 a) To stop the usage of chemical fertilizers and give way to ecological means of cultivation thus preventing- the degradation of soil, food from toxins and carbon footprints.
b) to stop the promotion of genetically engineered crops as they pose a threat to human health and degrades the food quality.
Therefore all the above statements are correct.

Who is the pioneer of 'White revolution' in India?

  1. Swaminathan

  2. Verghese Kurien

  3. Dhiru Bhai Ambani

  4. S.K. Birla


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Verghese Kurien known as the 'Father of the White Revolution' in India,[2] 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. A key invention at Amul, the world's first, was the production of milk powder from the abundant buffalo-milk, instead of from the conventional cow-milk, short in supply in India. Keen on a strong linkage between town and country, he surmounted skepticism and adversity with his indefatigable fighting spirit and outmaneuvering skills to capture a commanding share of the market of the city of Bombay (now, Mumbai), which got him wide attention.

So the correct option is 'Verghese Kurien'.
