how did India became self-sufficient In food grains
Answers
Answer:
due to the increasing production of the primary sector
Answer:
(i) After independence many measures were adopted to achieve self-sufficiency in food grains. India adopted a new strategy in agriculture like 'Green Revolution' to increase the production of wheat. The success of wheat was later replicated in rice.
(ii) The highest rate of growth was achieved in Punjab and Haryana, where food grain production jumped from 7.23 million tonnes in 1964-65 to reach an all-time high of 30.33 million tonnes in 1995-96. Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, on the other hand, recorded significant increases in rice yield.
(iii) India has become self-sufficient in food grains during the last thirty years because of a variety of crops grown all over the country. The availability of food grains (even in adverse weather conditions or otherwise) at the country level has further been ensured with a carefully designed food security system by the government.
