The rapid increase witnessed during 1967-70, in the field of food grain production, is called _________.
The correct option is A Green Revolution
The Green Revolution in India was a period
when agriculture in India increased its yields due to improved agronomic
technology. Green Revolution allowed developing countries, like India, to
overcome poor agricultural productivity. It started in India in the early 1960s
and led to an increase in food grain production, especially in Punjab, Haryana
and Uttar Pradesh during the early phase. The main development was
higher-yielding varieties of wheat, which were developed by many scientists,
including American agronomist Dr. Norman Borlaug, Indian geneticist M. S.
Swaminathan, and others. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research also
claims credit for enabling the Green Revolution, in part by developing rust
resistant strains of wheat.
