The Green Revolution in India is credited to Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, known as the “Father of the Green Revolution in India.” His efforts in introducing high-yielding variety (HYV) seeds, modern farming techniques, and scientific agricultural practices helped India achieve food self-sufficiency.

Other key contributors include Norman Borlaug, who developed HYV wheat, Lal Bahadur Shastri, who promoted agricultural growth, and Indira Gandhi, who implemented supportive policies.

The Green Revolution increased food production, improved farmers’ incomes, and boosted India’s economy, but also led to soil degradation, water depletion, and environmental issues.
