The green revolution started in 1965 with the first introduction of HYV seeds in Indian agriculture this was coupled with better than efficient irrigation and the correct use of fertilisers to boost the crop. The end result of the green revolution was to make India selfsufficient when it came to food grains.
After 1947 India had to rebuild its economy. Over three- quarters of the population depended on agriculture in some way. But India was faced with several problems. Firstly the productivity of grains was very low and India was still monsoon dependent because of lack of education in at infrastructure.
There was also absence of modern technology. And India had previously faced severe famines during the British Raj who had only promoted cash crops instead of food crops. The idea was to never depend on any other country for food sufficiency.
