The Green Revolution in India began during the mid 60s by using HYVS, chemical fertilizers and latest technology to increase agricultural production. The term was coined by Dr. William Gande and implemented in India by Dr. Norman Borlaug and Dr. M. S. Swaminathan.
 
India after witnessing the Green revolution has improvised a lot in agricultural sector. MS Swaminathan has done a great job for India by introducing better yielding varieties of crops. Once upon a time we had to face droughts and famines quite often, but after Green revolution in India their frequency has drastically decreased.
 
If the green revolution were not to take place in India, we wouldn't be able to export these many food products to foreign nations.:D India is one of the top producers and exporters of Rice, tea, jute, wheat and many more. But we definitely need another green revolution in order to be on par with other nations and exploit our ability to produce to the fullest.
