The Green Revolution in India was an agrarian revolution aimed at significantly increasing the production of food grains.

It primarily focused on improving the yield of major cereal crops like wheat and rice through the adoption of High Yielding Varieties (HYVs) of seeds, along with better irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticides.

The Green Revolution, starting in the late 1960s, transformed India from a food-deficit country relying on imports into a food-surplus nation, particularly in wheat and rice production. Dr. M.S. Swaminathan is considered the father of the Green Revolution in India.
