RAS question
Which revolution is associated with fish production?
Correct answer: (C) Blue Revolution.
The Blue Revolution is associated with fish production and aquaculture.
Explanation
The Blue Revolution is the revolution linked with fish production and aquaculture. The cited Press Information Bureau release refers to the Centrally Sponsored Scheme, "Blue Revolution: Integrated Development and Management of Fisheries", and states that it focused mainly on increasing fisheries production and productivity in India's inland and marine sectors. That directly matches the MCQ's keyword, fish production. In contrast, the other colour-coded revolutions in the question belong to different production areas: White Revolution to milk, Yellow Revolution to oilseeds, and Silver Revolution to eggs. For exam purposes, the safest association is therefore Blue Revolution = fisheries, including aquaculture and fish-production development.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) White Revolution is linked with milk production, especially Operation Flood, so it does not answer a question about fish production.
- (B) Yellow Revolution refers to oilseed production, not fisheries or aquaculture.
- (D) Silver Revolution is associated with egg production, whereas fish production is covered by the Blue Revolution.
Concept
This tests the standard Indian Economy mapping of colour revolutions to sectors. It recurs in RAS because such one-line sector associations are common in agriculture, allied activities, and government-scheme MCQs.
