The Green Revolution refers to a set of research and development of technology transfer initiatives occurring between the 1930s and the late 1960s (with prequels in the work of the agrarian geneticist Nazareno Strampelli in the 1920s and 1930s), that increased agricultural production worldwide, particularly in the developing world, beginning most markedly in the late 1960s.[1] The initiatives resulted in the adoption of new technologies, including:
...new, high-yielding varieties (HYVs) of cereals, especially dwarf wheats and rices, in association with chemical fertilizers and agro-chemicals, and with controlled water-supply (usually involving irrigation) and new methods of cultivation, including mechanization. All of these together were seen as a 'package of practices' to supersede 'traditional' technology and to be adopted as a whole.[

Before 1965, there was famine in many parts of India. The government decided to use fertilizers, better methods of irrigation and introduced high yielding variety(HYV) of seeds. This was done to improve food production. Collectively these methods came to be known as 'Green Revolution'. Dr. Norman Ernest Borlaug, an American agronomist, is known as "Father of the Green Revolution".
