conditions .
• Focus on dairy sector during this period was at the cost of development , research and
extension work in other areas of Indian agriculture.

SUMMARY

•  From the outset, Operation Flood was conceived and implemented as much more
than a dairy programme. Rather, dairying was seen as an instrument of development,
generating employment and regular incomes for millions of rural people.
•  A World Bank Report 1997 says: Operation Flood can be viewed as a twenty
year experiment confirming the Rural Development Vision.
