Union Minister Amit Shah launched 'White Revolution-2.0': Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah launched 'White Revolution-2.0' on 19 September. It is being considered a comprehensive initiative aimed at empowering women farmers and creating employment opportunities. Union Minister Amit Shah described it as a major initiative aimed at empowering women farmers and creating employment opportunities. The program focuses on four major areas. This includes empowering women farmers, increasing local milk production, strengthening dairy infrastructure and promoting dairy exports. This program is one of the three initiatives launched in the first 100 days of the third term of the Narendra Modi government. Along with this, the Union Minister also launched RuPay Kisan Credit Card and micro-ATMs in dairy cooperatives across the country for dairy farmers. Like ATMs, these connect you to the core banking system of banks, so that banking transactions can be done without going to the bank. Apart from this, he issued Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for computerization of 67,930 Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS). Micro-ATM is actually a modified form of a card swipe machine (Point of Sales), which also has a finger print scanner. In India, the 'White Revolution' was started in 1970. The world's largest dairy development program was led by Dr. Verghese Kurien. This revolution is also known as 'Operation Flood'. It turned India, which was facing a shortage of milk, into the largest milk producing country in the world.
