Green Revolution (India)

The Green Revolution in India was a period during the 1960s and 1970s when new agricultural techniques, high-yield crop varieties, chemical fertilizers, and modern machinery were introduced to boost food production. This movement significantly increased grain cultivation, helping India become self-sufficient in food grains and reducing hunger. It aimed to modernize farming, improve productivity, and support a growing population. While it led to greater food security, it also brought challenges like environmental concerns and uneven benefits among farmers. Overall, the Green Revolution played a crucial role in transforming India's agriculture and economy.
