SSC QUIZ ( REVOLUTIONS IN INDIA)

We all have heard about the “GREEN REVOLUTON” that happened in India in the late 1960’s. It was the increased production of agricultural products especially wheat, rice, cereals, pulses etc. Dr. M. S. Swaminathan, the genius, was the man behind this silent

revolution. His efforts could make wonders in the Indian agricultural sector thereby making India self sufficient in the case of agricultural produce. Dr Swaminathan could bring this magic by the use of sophisticated machinery and high yielding varieties of seeds in the agricultural sector in lieu of our primitive and outmoded methods of cultivation.
