India became self-sufficient in food-grains and had sufficient stock in the central pool, even at times in a position to export food-grains, because of the Green Revolution. Launched in the 1960s, the Green Revolution introduced high-yielding varieties of crops, improved irrigation, use of fertilizers, and modern farming techniques. This led to a significant increase in agricultural productivity, especially in regions like Punjab, Haryana, and Western Uttar Pradesh. The revolution transformed India from a food-deficient country to one of surplus, ensuring national food security.
