Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
White revolution was launched in the country with the motive to make India the largest producer of milk which has nothing to do with the cultivation of rice. Cultivation of rice takes place in the winter months and is the major source of rainfall in the western temperate cyclone, which does not rain in the entire subcontinent. So, for the areas which receive less rainfall, like West Bengal, in those areas irrigational facilities, HYV seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides are introduced for better crop productivity. All these things were launched under the green revolution, and not during the white revolution.
The correct statement is due to green revolution, cultivation of rice is possible in areas of less rainfall as well.
