The Green Revolution

The Green Revolution was a time when there was a big increase in the production of food grains, especially wheat and rice, in our country. This helped India produce enough food for everyone and even have extra to sell to other countries. Because of the Green Revolution, India became self-reliant, meaning we now produce enough food on our own without needing to buy from other countries. We can even export (sell) extra food grains to other countries.

• The Green Revolution was possible because of the hard work of scientists, people who worked to spread new scientific ideas, and the farmers who used these new methods. It involved using better seeds, modern farming techniques, and more use of water and fertilisers.
• Importance of the Green Revolution: The Green Revolution helped India to not only feed its growing population but also to become a major producer of food grains in the world.
