Model Answer
Two efforts taken by the Government of India to modernise agriculture:
- Green Revolution and White Revolution — Introduction of package technology (HYV seeds, fertilisers, irrigation) during the 1960s–70s and Operation Flood to boost food and milk production.
- Kisan Credit Card (KCC) and crop insurance — The government introduced KCC for easy credit access and crop insurance schemes to protect farmers against drought, flood, cyclone, fire, and disease.

Explanation
The examiner expects two distinct, named efforts — not vague statements. Identify the effort by name and add a brief description. Each point should cover roughly 15–20 words. Common mistakes include listing only one effort or writing general statements without naming specific schemes. Stick to what the textbook mentions: Green Revolution, White Revolution, KCC, crop insurance, Grameen Banks, minimum support price, etc.
