Mainly led by agricultural scientist M. S. Swaminathan in India, this period was part of the larger Green revolution endeavor initiated by Dr. Norman E Borlaug, which leveraged agricultural research and technology to increase agricultural productivity in the developing world.[3]
The state of Punjab led India's Green Revolution and earned the distinction of being the "breadbasket of India."
Under premiership of Congress leader Lal Bahadur Shastri,[4][5][6] the Green Revolution within India commenced in 1965, leading 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,[7] and rust resistant strains of wheat.[8][9] However, certain 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.[10]
