The document discusses the Green Revolution that began in India in the 1960s. It introduced high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice to increase food grain production. M.S. Swaminathan is recognized as the "Father of the Green Revolution in India" for his role in developing high-yielding wheat varieties. The Green Revolution started in Punjab and helped India increase its food production and reduce dependence on other countries for food imports. However, some argue it caused environmental and financial issues for farmers over the long term.

7. ABOUT M.S. SWAMINATHAN
 Mankombu Sambasivan Swaminathan (born 7
August 1925) is an Indian geneticist and
administrator, known for his role in India's Green
Revolution, a program under which high-yield
varieties of wheat and rice were planted.
Swaminathan has been called the "Father of
Green Revolution in India" for his role in
introducing and further developing high-yielding
varieties of wheat in India.

8. CONTINUE
 He is the founder of the MS Swaminathan Research Foundation. His
stated vision is to rid the world of hunger and poverty. Swaminathan
is an advocate of moving India to sustainable development,
especially using environmentally sustainable agriculture, sustainable
food security and the preservation of biodiversity, which he calls an
"evergreen revolution."
 From 1972 to 1979 he was director general of the Indian
Council of Agricultural Research. He was Principal
Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture from 1979 to 1980. He
served as Director General of the International Rice
Research Institute (1982–88) and became president of
the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and
Natural Resources in 1988.

9.  In 1999, he was one of 3 Indians on Time's
list of the 20 most influential Asian people of
the 20th century.
 This was part of the larger Green
revolution endeavor initiated by Norman
Borlaug, which leveraged agricultural
research and technology to increase
agricultural productivity in the developing
world.

10. GOVERNMENT INTRODUCED
GRENNERY
 Under premiership of Congress leader Lal
Bahadur Shastrie, the Green Revolution
within India commenced in 1965 that led to an
increase in food grain production, especially
in Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Major
milestones in this undertaking were the
development of high-yielding varieties
of wheat, and rust resistant strains of
wheat. However, agricultural scientists like M.S.
Swaminathan and social activists like Vandana
Shiva are of the opinion that it caused greater
long term sociological and financial problems for
the people of Punjab and Haryana.

11. PUNJAB GREENERY

12. HARYANA GRENNERY

13.  However it proved to be a useful measure and
was pioneer in helping the then Indian
Government to independently produce
necessary crops in her own country instead of
depending on foreign exports and whose
policies were often misused by the foreign
nations to blackmail India to serve their own
political purpose and get dominated by those
nations.

14. ADVANTAGES
 It may be helping to reduce the number of
greenhouse gas emissions.
 It allows us to produce more food than
traditional growing methods.
 It provides us with consistent yields
during uncooperative seasons.
 It causes a reduction in food prices for the
global economy.
 It has reduced the issues of deforestation
on our planet.

15.  It hastened the natural evolutionary process
for plant resistance.
 It reduces the need for fallowing regularly.
 It allows us to grow crops almost anywhere on
our planet.
 It creates higher income levels and more jobs
in the developing world.
 It allows some croplands to produce multiple
harvests in a single year.
 It reduces the levels of poverty in the
countries where it is practiced.
 It supports other sectors of the economy.

16. DISADVANTAGES
 It created a lack of biodiversity in the
global cropland structures.
 It can be wiped out with one devastating
disease.
 It reduces the quality of the soil used for
growing crops.
 It requires the use of non-sustainable
agricultural methods.

17.  It creates health impacts that we must
consider with its practices.
 It has advanced beyond our current
distribution networks.
 It encourages more resistance to pests,
chemicals, and other hazards.
 It can encourage seed sterility.
 It may not produce enough results to
create a profitable outcome.

18.  It promotes monocropping.
 It requires expensive investment which
promotes inequality between farmers.
 It depends on fertilizer subsidies.
 It has failed on our earth’s second-largest
continent: Africa.
