Green revolution refers to the introduction of High yielding variety (HYV) of seeds and increased use of fertilizer and irrigation methods.

It took place during the 1960s especially 1965s onwards. It was aimed at providing increase in production to make India self-sufficient in food grains. Newer technologies included pesticides,nitrogen fertilizers,improved crop variety etc. It was aimed at increasing the food security . The father of this revolution,'Norman Borlaug' received Nobel peace prize in 1970. His efforts saved the lives of millions of people from starvation.
