Who is known as the ‘Father of Green Revolution’ in India?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → M.S. Swaminathan
M.S. Swaminathan, the agricultural scientist, led the introduction of high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice in India in the 1960s, working with Norman Borlaug’s Mexican wheat. With irrigation and fertilisers, these seeds raised grain output so fast that India became self-sufficient in food; the change came to be called the Green Revolution.
