  Nishant has lost his keys . let us help him find it. You may have to use a word more than once.

He is called the Father of the White Revolution. Let us read about how he brought about a change in the lives of Indians. The year was 1946. A young graduate from Guindy College of Engineering in Madras (now Chennai), applied for a government scholarship to study Metallurgy and Nuclear Physics abroad. "What do you know about pasteurisation?" the interviewer asked the young man. "Something to do with milk," was the young man's uninterested response. "Yes! You're right and you've been selected for a scholarship to study Dairy Engineering," said the interviewer. This young man was Dr Verghese Kurien. He was initially disappointed because he had no interest in Dairy Engineering. Nevertheless, he left for the United States in 1946 to study at the Michigan ...
