Answer 2

One important factor is Buffer Stock Launched by government and other r as follows
The leaders of independent India inherited a country facing food shortages, where thousands died every year due to famines. Providing food security to the starving millions across the country was one of the most formidable challenges that the government faced.

While India had to import about five percent of the total foodgrains available in the country in the 1950s, food shortages worsened during the 1960s when two severe drought years led to a sharp increase in import of foodgrains

Smt. Indira Gandhi took over as the Prime Minister in January 1966 and then things began to change as India ushered an era of expansion in the agricultural sector which started with the introduction of high-yielding varieties of wheat in the late 1960s. Around the same time, the Bhakra Nangal dam became operational and the banks were nationalised to open up agricultural credit to the farmers.

All this, coupled with the efforts of leading scientists like Dr M. S. Swaminathan, opened up the agricultural sector as an estimated Rs 45,000 crore was spent on improving irrigation in the first four decades after independence. Slowly, the Indian farming sector began to improve yields and got closer to solving the chronic food shortages in the country.

Improved irrigation, better crop varieties and better access to credit helped the agricultural sector take a quantum leap. '€œAnnual aggregate foodgrains production, which averaged about 82 million tonnes in 1960-61 increased to 123.7 and 172.5 million

Today, we have achieved self-sufficiency in food and famines have become a thing of the past. Food production has gone up from less than 50 million tonnes in 1947 to 250 million tonnes presently. The net irrigated area has increased from 19.4 million hectares at independence to 87.3 M hectares in 2010-11. Today, India has the largest irrigated land in the world.
