The Directive Principles of State Policy lay down that: “the State shall direct policy towards securing –

(a) that all citizens have the right to adequate means of livelihood;

(b) that ownership and control of resources in the community are so distributed as to subserve the common good;

(c) that the operation of the economic system does not result in concentration of wealth and means of production to the common detriment.”

The Directive Principles of the Indian Constitution, thus, express the will of the People of India for rapid economic growth. Accordingly, the Government of India adopted planning as a means of fostering economic development.

Targets and objectives of the 12th Plan

Amity School of BusinessGreen revolution

• The Green Revolution has also been criticized as unsustainable. It requires immense amounts of capital each year to purchase equipment and fertilizers. This may lead to a cycle of debt if a farmer is unable to pay off the loans required each year. Additionally, the crops require so much water that water tables in some regions of India have dropped dramatically. If this drop continues, it is possible that the process of desertification may take place. Already, the low water is starting the process of salinization. If continued, this would leave the land infertile, spelling disaster for India.

• In 2006, Dr Norman Borlaug, widely known as the 'Father of India's Green Revolution', was presented India's second highest civilian honour, the Padma Vibhushan, by India's ambassador in Mexico City.

• In 2009, Norman Borlaug, India's 'annadaata', dies at 95 The Times of India, Chidanand Rajghatta, 13 September 2009.

Amity School of BusinessWhite Revolution in India• Lovingly called the Father of the White Revolution in India, Dr Verghese

Kurien was born on November 26, 1921• Credited with architecting the Operation Flood -- the largest dairy

development program me in the world -- Dr Kurien set up the Anand model of cooperative dairy development, engineered the White Revolution in India, and made India the largest milk producer in the world.

• Dr Kurien has since then built this organization into one of the largest and most successful institutions in India. The Amul pattern of cooperatives had been so successful, in 1965, then Prime Minister of India, Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri, created the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) to replicate the program on a nationwide basis citing Dr Kurien's "extraordinary and dynamic leadership" upon naming him chairman.

• Kurien also set up GCMMF (Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation) in1973 to sell the products produced by the dairies. Today GCMMF sells AMUL brand products not only in India but also overseas.
