It started in india in the early 1960s and led to an increase in food grain production, especially in punjab, haryana and UP during the early phase. The main development was higher-yielding varieties of wheat, which were developed by many scientists, including Indian geneticist M.S, swaminathan, American agronomist Dr. Norman borlough, and other ICAR also claims credit for Udit Singhal

for developing rust resistant strains of wheat.

The introduction of high-yielding varieties(HYV) of seeds and the increased the quality of fertilisers and irrigation technique led to the increase in production to make the country self-sufficient in food grains, thus improving agriculture in India.
