The document discusses the Green Revolution in India. It began in the 1960s and led to increased food grain production through the use of high-yielding seed varieties, fertilizers, and irrigation. Key figures in the Green Revolution included Norman Borlaug and M.S. Swaminathan. The introduction of these new agricultural technologies made India self-sufficient in food grains and improved agriculture. However, overuse of chemical pesticides and fertilizers also led to negative environmental impacts like land degradation over time.
